Future Canal Negotiations VIII Be
With Panama.


Washington, Nov. 12.-It is stated
here on authority that it is too late
for Colombia to make any effort to
resurrect the canal treaty with the
United States and beyond preventing
hostile clash between Colombia and
the new republic of Panama the pro
posed visit of General Reyes to Pan

same authority points out that the
United States government, having rec
ogniZed Panama as an Independent
state, cannot now proceed to nego-
tiate with Colombia on any terms for
canal rights in state over which
Colombia exercises no political con-
troll. SO any future canal negotiations
will be between the United States
government and the government of
Panama.
