TO HOLD PANAMA
LIABLE FOR DEBT
British Foreign Office Will Present
Case Of the Bondholders at
Washington.

London, Nov 24.-Foreign Score
-tary tLansdowne; has requested counsel
Of the foreign bondholders to supply
further details of the Colombian loan.
When drawn up these will be for
warded to Ambassad dor -Durand and
presented at Washington to urge the
rights of British bondholders in con-
nection with the republic of Panama.
In regard to the statement Of the
Panama commissioners that Panama
declines responsibility for the Colom-
bian debt on the ground that when the
greater part of the money was Dor
rowed Panama was not included In
Colombia, the facts, as related by the
creditors, appear to be as follows:
Panama declared it's Independence
of Spain Nov. %, 1921, and in the SOL
emn declaration of the revolutionary
junta stated: THAT the territory of
the isthmus belong to the republic
state of Colombia, to the congress
whereof it would, in due course, send
it's deputy"
The war with Spain continued for
some time thereafter and in 1922 Col
ombia issued an external loan Of $10,-
0O0, 900, the greater part of which was
to be devoted to prosecuting the war of
independence. In 1924 Colombia is
sued further loan Of $23,750,000 for
the same purpose. 1t would be sur
prising, bondholders say, If Panama
attempted to repudiate responsibility
for the mony which assisted her to
become part of free state.
The foregoing is the gist Of a lengthy
statement which will be forwarded to
the British embassy at Washington.
