RELATIONS WITH COLOMBIA

That is an agreeable intimation that a new
treaty with Colombia is in preparation which
VIII remove the last bit of friction that NAV
have existed between that country and the
United States. Relations between the two ma
tiens ought TO be most friendly and confidential.
There is really no good reason why they should
not be. Such irritation Colombians may have
felt against the United States a year ago arose
chiefly from misrepresentation or from misin-
formation. or else from a feeling that this
country In taking Colombia at its word had per-
mitted il 10 be caught in its own trap. Colom-
bians now realize that the conduct of the United
States at that time was entirely honorable and
aboveboard, and was indeed such as it was
inevitable this country must perform. Colombia
lost something because of It, no doubt But
that, as Colombians now perceive, was its own
fault step toward friendly approachment
with Panama was some time ago taken. Ger
tainly it is high time for a complete approach
ment with the United States to be effected
Two suggestions which are said TO have come
from President Reyes to our government are
being considered. They deserve at least passing
attention, but il is to be hoped neither of them
IS urged by Colsmbia as sine qua non to per-
feet friendship. One of them is that Panama
shall be asked to take plebiscitnm on the uues-
ton whether or not it will return to Colomb bia
There van be little doubt as TO how Panama
any such return would unquestionably be cast
But ii must appear to the Colombians them
selves that 1t is a little TOO late now to make
such request, certainly too late to ask the
United States To make it of Panama 1t would
have been a delicate matter at any time for
our country TO do that. But now more than
a year and quarter after the independence
Of Panama became an accomplished fact
an Independence for which we We're not re-
sponsible. but which we have bound ourselves
10 respect and 10 maintain-for us 10 ask Pan
anna to take a vote on a proposition to re-
nounee that independence would be a most ex-
traordinary performance. If Panama wanted to
do il, as a matter of form, she would be free TO
do so. But the United States should not be ex-
pected 10 urge IL upon her. Suppose England
had suggested IA 1884 that Prussia or Holland
ask the United States TO take vote on propO-
sltion 10 return 10 the English allegiance!
The other suggestion is that the United States
shall purchase the San Andreas and San Luis
islands from Colombia. That is different
proposition, ana might perhaps be regarded
somewhat Jess unfa vorably. Those islands are
now of no varne to Colombia. They might
mora properly belong 10 Panama. They have
strategic value and might be OF service to
she United States. Certainly it would not be
3leasant 10 see any other power get posses
sion of item. They lie not far from Ron

told them on the other side what I paid for
single production, they said: "Cenried, don't tell
that; you lie can't listen to YOU They

1t has been discovered that the coal bins at
tached to some of the schools in the Borough
of Queens are not of sufficient size to receive
the fuel that has been distributed and charged
for. Nine inspectors have been suspended al
ready by the officer in charge of the matter
and significant affidavits have been obtained.
1t has been found that certain persons who
formerly purchased freely from the dealers
have not this winter been buying to any con-
siderable extent. although the weather has been
such that without plenty of fuel they would
encounter a great deal of suffering The methods
of government of the borough have been sub
ject to much criticism under it's present man
agement. and there ought to be thorough in
quiry into this matter.

So few arrests have been made in the past
for violations of the regulation against splitting
in the streets that the sudden rigor of the
Health Department has startled many persons
who have not been in the haeit of disregarding
city ordinances. DIR. Darlington is evidently
bent on the rigorous punishment of the offend
ers, and is clearly right. from sanitary point
of view. in his enforcement of the law. Bron-
chial and kindred troubles are now more than
ordinarily prevalent, and afford additional
reason for the present activities of the Health
Department.
