the firm commitments of the sigma
tory Governments In and under
the Agreement are limited 10 those
stated In Article II we believe that
those referred to by Secretary Tckes
are the ones of most vital import
ance to the people of the United
States In that they supply the au-
thority required to create super
state international petroleum reg
ulat0ry body that could very
efficiently cooperate with, or even
function as, super-wOrld petrole-
UNI cartel In Article vi of the
Agreement it Is agreed that reports
of the Commission shall be pub
lished unless In any particular case
either Government decides other
wise, which means, we apprehend,
that no reports Of any great interest
or importance would ever be pub
lished.
3. The proposed Treaty is gener-
ally Objectionable on the grounds
of ambiguity, indefiniteness and
uncertainty and particularly vague
as to when and to what govern

would make reports concerning its
proceedings, findings, recommends

authority TO rule on publication of
reports.
4 The proposed Treaty Is, in our
opinion, merely another move in
the battle to substitute Federal au-
thority for State authority 20 regu-
late and control the oil and gas
industries that has been raging In
the United States for the last IL
years, this time canouflaged by al
legged urgent necessity of providing
for the efficient and orderly devel-
opment of the international petro-
leum trade If those who are urging
the ratification of the Treaty do not
plan and expect TO use IL as the
foundation for legislation required
to establish Federal control Of the
petroleum industries of The United
States, and win so state, they should
explain Article II and how the COM
mitments by the Government of the
United States therein can be carried

recommend that the Senate Of The
United States do not give its affir-
native advice and consent to the
ratification Of the Treaty entitled
Agreement on Petroleum Between
the Government Of the United
States of America and the Govern
ment of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ire
land" as signed by representatives
of said Governments In London,
England. on September "a, 1915, for
the reason stated as follows, to-wit:
/. Article II of the Agreement
binds the signatory Governments to
do certain things specified therein,
all of which would certainly apply
to and involve the operation of the
domestic petroleum industry within
the country of either Government,
and In Article VII 1t Is agreed that
mo provision in this Agreement,
with the exception of Article III, is
to be construed as applying to the
operation of the domestic petroleum
industry within the country of
either Government. We believe,
therefore, that the proposed Treaty,
if ratified, will impose a duty upon
the Congress of the United States
to enact frnplemental legislation
that would empower the Interna-
tional Petroleum Commission (see
Article IV) TO regulate and control
the domestic industry respecting,
at least, the matters specified in
Article II, and with complete au-
thority for doing 30 under the fun
