WASHINGTON. ID. c.. June lS.-
A Panama canal will be constructed
and operated by the United States
This decision has been reached by
the president after conferences with
those leaders who have been promi
nent in canal Legislation. There is
no intention of abandoning the Pana
ma project even though the canal trea
ty is rejected by the Colombian con
gress. Hope is entertained in Official
circles that the treaty will be ratified
No information has yet been received
which convinces the president and his
advisers that the treaty will be de
feated. That there will be strong
opposition and attempt to levy black
mail is conceded. An ultimatum has
gone out, however, with sufficient EN-
phass to convince all members of the
Colombian congress that the United
States will stand no tritling and will
not be bled.
The treaty must be ratified or re
jected in it's present form. There is
no intention of amending it. II
would not be surprising to those well
informed should the State of Panama
secede and erect an independent re
public in the event the treaty is re
jected. 1t can be stated that nego-
tiations to meet such an emergency
are under way, with the prospect that
the State of Panama will have enough
resources to obtain independence
should such extreme measures be
found necessary.
