: in the day after the senate had ad-
journed. Republican senators gem
orally, however. expressed their
approval while democratic sena-
tors gave voice to disapproyal and
disappointment Republicans took
the view that the presidents rep
resentatives would perform prin-
cipally the functions of obtaining
information. Democratic senators
said they We're disappointed be-
cause the president had not decid-
ed to have the government official
ly participate in the deliberations
Of the three bodies.
Administration officers made it
plain that Mr.. Harvey would sit
with the premiers of Grea. Britain,
France and Italy and the repre-
sentatiVes of Belgium and Japan
on the supreme council as the per-
sonal representative of the presi-
dent of the United States and not
of the American government.
While he will participate in the
deliberations of the council. he will
be without authority to bind the
United States to any action taken.
HarVey'S Position.
Mr.. Harvey will be in a position
to keep the president fully in
formed on all subjects with which
the. council has to deal. Upon this
body has devolved the settlement
of the more important questions
resulting from the war and to 1t
has been referred the American
protest to the league of nations
against the award of Japan OF
mandate for the Island of Yap.
The supreme council also is eN-

begin his duties as the presidents
representative on the council at the
next meeting. 1t is pointed out
that by making the new ambassa-
dor his own representative, the
president did not have to ask the
approval of congress as would have
been necessary had it been desired
to appoint an official representa-
tive OF the government.
Disarmament Conference.
Administration officers have in
dicated that one of the first subjects
of a general character to be taken
up by NL. Harvey will be the ques-

has asked that no action on TINS
question be initiated in congress III
the present state of conditions in
Europe, some of those close to the
White House expect as soon as the
present emergency has passed the
supreme council will be asked by
the United States to take up the
whole disarmament question.
For the present, Ambassador
Wallace would be American OBJ
server in the conference of ambas-
sailors. He acted in this capacity
for tho Wilson administration until
decision was reached early in the
year to withdraw him and also Mr..
Boyden as the unofficial represent

sion. This action was taken, it was
explained, in order to avoid any
possible embarrassment to the new
Myron T. Herrick,
the newly appointed ambassador to
France, will relieve Mr.. Wallace in
the near future.
BOydcn On the Ground.
Mr.. Boyden sat with the repara-
tons commission for many months
and also the unofficial American
