remits:
"A saving of 10J6 in our
coal bill. Furthermore, on
account of the balance, d'eon
dition of the draft, we are
able to maintain a uniform

"The department Is endeavoring un
officially to keep In touch with matters
coming up for decision before the com
mission in order that any action of the
commission which might be In deroga
tion of American trade opportunities
siiouict not pass unchallenged.
Cannot Use Veto Power
"Tho department is handicapped,
however, In'that It has no right de
mand such Information and this gov
eminent, uot having ratllied the treaty;
cannot exorcist; the right to vctonn In

"Nevertheless, strong remonstrance

assumption and use of such powers is
prejudicial to general economic recon
struction ; offers an opportunity to. the
governments dominating the reparations
commission indirectly to exercise a dan

Is ilnwn. anted by ,the terms of the
treaty and contrary, to the spirit, If not
the letter, of the oflicinl interpretations
given Germany by the allied powers
before the signiug of the trenty,
"The result of such profeit is hard
to predict, as by the terras of tho treaty
