Senator Lodges speech on the Ssh Ia
explanation and defense of the Presidents
ac.ion concerning Panama gave undeniabIe
satisfaction to Republicans and was regarded
by them as being cogent and unanswerabIe.
The Democrats. on the contrary, Il seemed
laborious and perfuuetory and as containing
holes in the argument "bg enough TO drive
meaagerie through as Senator Daniel
was heard to remark. Mr.. Lodge held and
announced in loud voice and with great
vigor, that the President had perfect right
10 recognize The Independence Of any
country which had achieved It's independence
and was capable Of defending it. In demon-
sirasing this proposition he spent an hour Of
valuable time but as nobody has ever con
tradicsed Il, il did no, seem wise ex-
pendiiure. What The Democrats insist upon,
op course, is that Panama had not achieved
her independence that she was not capable
Of defending Il agains, Columbia and that
she would never have thought Of asserting
J, had IL not been for encouragement which,
explicitly or taei.Iy. she received from
Washington That's the Democratic con
seniion. and for Mr.. Lodge to knock over
his man Of straw does not even help TO
answer il.
