Tlic treaty has luel vigor ous opposition In (lie Kennte, ami Kor inor President Itoosuvelt has ulackcd It st" a vehicle for the payment of "blackmail." Air. iiryun declared that it was nec essary to discuss only the Tact that an estrangement exslt?, and not the events which gave rise to the differ ences; and that regardless of whether Colombia has a just grievance against lier more powerful neighbor, no one would deny that the former country rUKtuin?d n great financial 'oss, con siderably more than the $25.000,000 which the United States would pay un der the treaty, through the s?parai ion I if Panama. As to the expression of regret on the part of the American government Jo which opponents of (ho pending convention offer their bitter est objection .the secretary suld ibis wan almost Identical with n similar expression In the Du Dois memoran dum on the basis of which the Taft ad ministr? Ion unsuccessfully sought to placate t olotnbia. The statement In full follows: "As the terms of the Colombia treaty have been published and it It 1? now before the senate for ratifica tion) the following statement may us sint the public to form an opinion upon the? merits of the f| liest ion: * History of the Case. "The present administration found nn estrangement existing between the UnltAl States nod Colombia?an es trangement that hus continued for nearly thirteen years. A3 the normal rointinn iieiween nations is one for friendship, it is doBlruble that differ-1 nnces shall be adjusted and cordial relations resumed. It Is not neces sary to diseurs the events which guvc rise to this estrangement, because It does not matter which party was at 'fault. The estrangement exists, and this Is the fact that must be deal wlh. "Colombia has all along Insisted up on arbitration. If this nation were willing to arbitrate, it would not be onccBsary to dh-cuss terniB of settle ment because in the case of arbitra tion the parties accept the finding of the arbitrators and settle their differ ences according to the terms proscrib ed. It Is not the policy of nations, howovcr, to settle by arbitration ques tions like thdso arising between the United States and Colombia and as ar bitration is not resorted .to, the settle ment must bo made by direct,negotia tions. ??r "nation, bejng * much the larger nation, and having refused to arbitrate, taken upon itself the respon sibility of doing justice to Colombia. Not only is it our duty to do justice to Colombia but in case of doubt as to what is just, we must resolve that doubt -against ourselves and in favor of Colombia. Colombia's Appeal. "Colombia fecit-, that she has been aggrieved and whatever may bo said asfo whether or not this feeling'Is justified, no one will deny that she has sustained great financial loss In the separation of Panama from her. Before the separation took place, this government offered. Colombia $10,000, 000 for the canal route and $250.000 a year for one hundred years. This an nuity might be capitalized at about $7,500.000, so that this government's estimate of the ions suffered by Colom bia could nqt he less than about $17, 500,000. But that estimate was made upon the supposition that Colombia would retain tho state or department of Panama. The reention of Panama would have given to Colombia not only the value of Panama, but the incidental benefits to be derived from proximity to tho canal. Wo cannot deny, there fore, that the actual 1of.s to Colombia was considerably more thnn $25,000, 000. "But we have a later estimate to consider namely, that placed upon the Iobs by the prccodlng administration. While there is a dispute, as" to whethr Mr. DnBols exceeded his authority in tho, proposition that he made, there is no doubt that he wns authorized to make known to Colombia that the United States would offer as the basis of a treaty If assured of acceptance by Colombia, $10,000,000 for the Atrata river canal route and arbitration of the .the reversionary interest of Col ombia In the railroad. This rever sionary Interest was valued at about $16,000,000 which would have been the sum awarded to Colombia if the arbi tration was decided in her favor. The $10,000/00 for the Atrata route and the $10,000,000 was evidently intended morp os liquidated damages than as the price of the canal route?together with tho value of the reversionary interest in the railroad would amount to $26.000,000. Mr. DnBoIs* Agreement "Dut Mr. DuBois Went further than this, and suggested arbitration of a canal lease, which might have added some $17.000,000 more, and then, upon his own responsibility In ordor to Sound Colombia as to her demand, ask d If she would consider $26,000.000 with the reversionary Interest ip the railroad and without, granting any privileges whatever. This question, while unauthorized could not but cre ate In the minds of the people of Col ombia the idea that this government was willing to go further than its for mal qffpr.t J"Reference is made f.o what has been one 'because former estimates creat ed'.expectations which rnado it impos sible to secure a treaty cn mor favor able terms than thoee. embodied in. the present treayt.

"If cordial relations are to he re stored with (Colombia, they must be rettored on a basis that In satisfactory to Colombia. Friendships cannot roBt upon force; neither can they rest up on acquiescence In the power of might. Even If Colombia under pro t"st and against the judgment of her people, accepted a les sum than which we offer, it would not restore the rela tions thatmiught to exist. We must satisfy their sense of justice, although a less y.uin might satisfy our sense of Justice. In every settlement there must he concessions and our govern ment has not conceded more than the requirements of the situation demand. "The ratification of the Colombian treaty will restore the friendly rela tions which for a century preceding 190:1 existed between .Colombia and the United States. It will also enable Colombia and Panama to settle their differences and deal with each other upon a neighborly baslr. More than that It will give prestige to the United States throughout Spanish America. This nation can afford to he just; even more. It can afford to ho generous in the settling of disputes, especially when by Its generosity It can Increase the friendliness of the many millions of Central and South America with whom our relations become daily more intimate."
