EFFORTS TO GET TOGETHER
COLOMBIA AND PANAMA NEGo.
TIATING A TREATY OF AMITY.
Final Touches Not Likely to Be Made
Until Next Autumn-Commer-
cial Agreement to Follow.

The prospects are that the treaty be
tween the United States Of Colombia ane
the republic of Panama, now being nego-
tlated, Will not receive its final touches
until next autumn. The United States
government. through the Department OF
State has been making an effort to get
the two countries on a basis where they
may conclude treaty relations; Respon-.
sive to its labors thus far Colombia has
submitted for the consideration OF the
Panama government memorandum
which. If acceptable in principle. may
form the basis of the convention between
the two nations. Both governments are
being assisted In every way possible by
the United States government in the s-eps
looking to an amicable understanding.
In the proposed treaty the proposition
is said to be that Colombia shall recog-
nize Panama an independent nation
the only country in the world that has
not yet done so. Some understanding also
may be reached as to the amount of the,
foreign debt of Colombia that shall be
recognized and assumed by Panama, in
return for the South American state SURF
rendering all claim to isthmian territory.
Panama promised the United States to
assume some part of the debt but the
exact amount Of the $l5.000,000 which il
aggregates has not yet been determined. 9
Colombia bonds are now selling at Sc, ac-
cording to statements received here. as
against 26 at the time of the secession
of Panama.
Senior Don Enrique Cortes. the minister
from Colombia. had earnestly hoped for ,
the negotiation OF treaty I'm the near
future. but now realizes that this is i'm
possible of accomplishment because of the
absence of some of the officials who have
taken a lively interest in the matter. The
minister is compelled because of pressing
business engagements to go to Europe
early in July. He will resume active
charge of the matter on Colombia's be-
half when he returns the latter part of
September.
Following the negotiation of the treaty
of recognition of Panama the two gov
ernmentS will get to work on a COM
mercial treaty, which, in view of the
proximity of the two republics. is deemed
by them to be desirable and essential for
the best interests of both.
