This promptness was urged by Minister
\ .iriiiu and is in marked con,
I
trast to tlie slowness or Coionibn iii
taking any action on the treaty.
The Colombia peace or war onus

ccrc iitted, w i'i be received by the
Presi lent. lie has, of course, no
hope of saving P.iitaunr to Colnuihia,
for us the Panama minister expresses
t, "Panama has served the moah
and it has been raten.'' Neither
wilt he he able to make the Administration
look seriously u on Colom
bia's threat of war. 1 lc may succeed
in getting a money indemnity for
Columbia, a lid in forcing Panama to
take over her share of the Colombian
debt. This question will bepuscnt
cd to our government by the new
British Ambassador, Sir Henry
Mortimer Bor.ind, who will pass the
claims of tiie Knglish bondholders,
that the new republic should a.suilc
a pro rata p rtion of the eomtnon
dibr. Abor such an agreement is
reached, Kughind w ill no doubt recognise
the republic. Much of the
debt was incurred i?y Colombia, during
the Wi-r of liberation from Spain,
started in I SIB, Panama took part
in the war, but did no' sign, the papers,

A discussion of tbe situation in

4?v Smalm" Morgan, who made a
long speech, sewrely ctilicising tne
Pitsident and his policy toward the

showed that ho did no*.
"lias ti.e President any c-xeu-e,"
raid the Senator from A1 tbniiiu, "for

Colombia and gratific?ti on of peisonal
ambition which tho iaw deprives
him of further po.UT to indulge'
Whatever the incentive, he will fail
to carry ihc people with him in his
wild and inexcusable raid."
There have been several discussions
in the Senate on Cuban affairs.
The 1 >test was a speech by Scnutoi
Carina ck in which he attempted to
ridicule the President's message
urging cue passage 01 an act "o u nder
the treaty valid. * * JI e told us J
that tve must ratify it to save outhonor
and help our trade. It was
an opportunity to woislnp God and
get your money back; to he chit-j

Lord. He presented the Cuban
treaty in the double aspect of a b.ir
gain counter and a missionary b ,x

swect charity's sake and get more
than your money's worth of chewing
gum and cigars. Six months ago,
he said, there was a cry raised tor,

"The Trinitarian propaganda hn.i

war cry of Al.ah, Allah.
Kooscvclt is great at.d the Senator

He end< d wi lt a plea for tariff revision.

epooch Mr. I'lutt, the author <of the 4

crcised protectorate over Cuba, or
that Cuba was in any way our ward.
