FIVE TIMES TOO BIG.

I'll were president Of Colom-
bia and wanted Panama to stay
in the union I would make a
treaty with her. Bringing her
back by force is the last thing [
would try to do. If it was Pa
mama alone that Colombia
would have to fight I would call
for arms, but since Panama has
the United States on her side
Colombia would surely be de-
feated, because the United
States has about five times as
many men as Colombia has.
Panama had no right whatever
to leave the union and as it is
impossible to bring her back by
force I would make a treaty
even if it should cost a large
sum of money, for Panama is
very useful to Colombia.

If were the president of Co

States, would give her one
more chance by writing petit
ton asking her to withdraw her
acknowledgment of the inde-
pendence of Panama.
If she did this I would then
allow her to continue work on
the canal with the same terms
she had made with the people
of Panama, which were, namely,
100000 to be paid down at
once and $4,000 to be paid
annually. If she would not con-
sent to this I would begin
preparations at once for war.
would call for volunteers, raise
as many troops as possible and
land them in Panama. I would
have them first drive out of Pa
mama all the men now working
on the canal and then subdue
the people Of PANAMA. After
this was done I would give the
contract of building the canal
and the entire management of
it to any foreign. country who
wished it, providing they would
not allow any ships of the
United States to pass thru it
when finished.
All this I should at least at
tempt to do, for being president
of a country I should want to
do all I could for it's welfare. AS
it is, my sympatn1es are all with
the United States and Panama
for do not think it right for

of itself to be subject against

the building Of this canal, which
would be such a benefit to all
the world, should not be stopped
or hindered by any petty dis
