PROTEST MADE
BY UNDERWOOD
ON CLAIM Plan
Senator Wanted All-American
Commission to Fix Claims
For and Against
Germany

WASHINGTON. Formal protest
against action OF the administration in
concluding an agreement with the Ger.
man government for establishment of a
joint commission to pass upon Amerl-
can war claims against Germany was
made in a letter to Chairman Cum
Minis Of the judicial subcommittee. The
subcommittee has before 1t Senator
Underwood's bill for an all American
commission to adjudicate war claims
made.
Senator Underwood in his letter chal.
lenged the contention OF the state de.
partment and White House that no
precedents existed for the administra-
tion course. and added:
No president to my knowledge has
ever entered into such an agreement
providing for the adjudication OF claims
arising out of war. Perhaps this is
due to the fact that the presidents but
with few nominal exceptions have nos
entered an agreement for the adjust.
ment OF private claim Of foreigner
against the United States without Sc
curing the approval of the senate, but
think that it is chiefly because the set
tlement of war claims is necessarily
part and parcel with the treaty of peacs
which, of course. under our constl-
tuition must be submitted to the senate
for its advice and ratification"
