A new reservation to the peace
treaty, the purpose of which is to
give Congre?? rupi-eroe control over
the selection and the duties of
America's representative In the
league ef nations. Is being consid
ered by members of the Foreign
Relations Committee.
The reservation would take the
appointment of the American rep
resentative out of the hands of the
President by providing that the ap
pointee must receive confirmation
at the hands of the Senate before
qualifying It would also, it is be
lieved, make it Impossible for the I
President to ?appoint himself to the
place, because the duties of the '
office would be ao defined that ?
the President would be unable to
qualify for the position
It Is proposed by the
that ao person shall be named to any
of the boards or commissions provid
ed for by the treaty nor to the league
of nation? council or assembly until
after Congress has enacted a law de

powers under which they are to ML
