COLUMBIA'S STAND
Stated by President Marroquin
Respecting the Panama
lnter-Oceanic Canal.
He FAVoRs THE REJECTED TREATY
Willing to Swap Sovereignty for Rev
enue-GIad He Did Not Have
to Decide.

Caracas, Venezlela, Aug. 22-The
following dispatch has been received
from Bogota, via Cucuta: Before pre-
senting the Panama canal treaty to the
Colombian senate, President Marroquin
said: MY government is confronted
with this dilemma: Either our sOver-
eighty must suffer detriment or we
must renounce certain pecuniary ad-
vantages to which in the opinion of
many we have a right; or we must
vigorously maintain our sovereignty
and claim in a peremptory manner the
pecuniary indemnity to which we con-
slider ourselves entitled.
VIII Catch It, Coming or Going.
'In the first case. by conserving to
the diminishing of our authority and
not aspiring to an important indemni-
ty, if the canal should be opened
through the Panama iSthmus the Just
desire of the Inhabitants of that de-
partment and OF all COlombians, and
also the government would be salts
fed, but the government would be eX-
posing itself to having the charge
brought against it later that it did not
duly defend our sovereignty, and that
it sacrificed the interest of the na-
ton. In the second case, should the
canal not be opened. through Panama,
the government will be reproached
with not having allowed Colombia to
obtain that advantage which is con-
sidered an essential condition of our
ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Glad He Has Not to Decide.
~ have already expressed my de-
sire that the inter-oceanic canal be
opened through our territory. l think
that even at the cost of some sacri-
fees we ought not TO place obstacles
In the way of so grand an enterprise,
both because it will be q gigantic ma
teriaI improvement to our country and
because once the canal is opened by
the North Americans we shall
strengthen and widen our relations
with them, which will result in an i'm
measurable gain to our industry. COM
merce and wealth. Happily for me the
immense responsibility which must
weigh upon him who decides this ques-
tion must be assumed by congress,
whose duty it is TO definitely approve
or disapprove OF the agreement pro-
posed by the North American govern
ment."
