Liberal party, wrote an article decided
" faVoring the ratification of the Pan

prominent Conservative or Liberal in
Panama favors the ratification of the
treaty.
Another writer says he sees great dan

the treaty is not ratified and declares
that the United States can buy control
of the French company as Great Brit
ain did in the case of the Suez canal
and then denounce the treaty of 1916,
guaranteeing the sovereignty of Colon
bia. The writer adds that if at the
same time the European powers decide
to push their claims against Colombia,
the republic being unable to comply
with them. a repetition of the naval
demonstrate against Venezuela is pos
sible. which is more insulting to the
national honor than approval of the
