COERCION.

The minister in his note to the Unit
ed States through Mr.. Beaupre says:
1.-The Colombian government protests
energetically at the attitude taken by
the United States. By the recognition
of Panama and the warning that the
United States will not allow Colombia
to put down the rebellion the hereto
fore friendly relations existing between
the two governments have arrived at
such critical stage that it is absolute
~ impossible to continue diplomatic
relations unless the Washington gov
eminent should Immediately give no
tice that it has no intention to prevent
Colombia from retaking the isthmus or
to extend any recognition to the belli-
gerents"
The note concludes by stating that
"a prompt reply is awaited from Wash
ington as the Colombian army is ready
to march on Panama at once. New
York Herald Bogota Correspondent.
Does any one believe that President
Roosevelt would have treated Russia,
Germany or England as he has poor
little weak Colombia? Hasn't he
showed himself coward in doing it?
No matter how desirable is the con-
struction of the Panama canal, the
United States cannot afford to act the
brigand on the high seas of commerce,
overawe and browbeat weak nation to
do 1T. If Colombia hasn't a right to
chastise Panama seceders, then the
United States had no right to chastise
the south when she took up arms to
maintain her independence in a new
republic. Let our government proceed
on fair and honorable basis to build a
canal, which all our people favor, but
let it be done with credit to bravery
and honesty. Because our nation is
mighty and can prevail over weakness,
does not justify it in doing so. Roose-
welt would hesitate very cautiously be-
fore he would run up against Russia
| Under similar conditions, then do
justice to Colombia.
