referred to the canal convention as follows:
.oTo nv government has been presented
this dilemma: Either 1t let's our sovereignty
suffar detriment. or renounces certain
pecuniary advantages, to which, according
to the opinion of many. we have right.
In the first case, to consent to the sacrifice
of our sovereignty, and not aspiring to a
great indemnification, the just wishes of the
inhabitants of Panama. large portion of
Colombia-would be satisfied If the canal
were opened, but the government would pe
exposed to the charge, afterward, tnat IL
did not defend our sovereignty and tnaI IL
did not defend the interests Of the nation.
In the second case, II the canal Is not
opened by Panama the government Will De
accused for not having allowed COLOMBIA
that benefit which is regarded as commence
ment of our ACKNOWLEDGMENT. l have al
ready allowed my wish to be understood
that che canal should be opeped through our
territory. 1 believe that even at such cost
of sacrifices we ought not to put obstacles
to such a grand undertaking, because II is
an immensely beneficial enterprise for the
country and also because, once the canal Is
opened by the United States, our relations
will become more intimate and extensive,
while our industry, commerce ana our
wealth will gain intellectually.
II leave the full responsibility of the
decision of this matter-at hrst-for con-
gress l do not intend to make my opinion
weight When l have given instructions
to our representatives at Washington II mas
been coupled with the order that the dec1s-
ion of this important matter must be left
for congress. After years, in winch the
question has been treated In vague way,
without precise conditions,s dt Is now pre-
sented in way to obtain practical and
positive results 1t has been our indisputa-
BILE triumph that the Senate and the gov

clare Notwithstanding every effort to the
contrary, the superiority Of the Colombian
route.
