Washington, Feb. 20.-Whether it
would be dangerous. from the stand
point of facing an enormous indemnity
verdict, for the United States to sub
NIT to The Hague tribunal the claims
of the republic Of Colombia for the
Panama canal strip. Is question
which the house committee on foreign
affairs viii consider before making a
report to congress of it's investigation
Of Colombia's calims.
The hearings on the Rainey resolu-
ton urging submission Of the dispute
to The Hague continued today. Henry
D. Hall, of the New York World,
summed up the evidence in the case
which he said tended to prove that
former president Huosevai: :cck the
isthmus in violation Of treaty obliga-
tions. that the Panama revolution was
fomented by this country. and that
Colombia was entitled to reparation.
The fact that Secretary Of State
Knox was trying to settle the dispute
directly was discussed, Mr.. Hall de-
claring that he did not believe that
any settlement made by the arbitrators
with some president Of South Ameri-
can country as referee would be salts
factory to Colombia.
Colombia has good reason to be-
ware of her own public men," said Mr..
Hall and SO long as The Hague tribunal
is In existence the United States and
Colombia ought to be able to settle
their differences satisfactorily. In
recent speech Secretary Knox pointed
out that the United States wanted to
see all nations of the world send their
differences to The Hague"
How do you account for the fact
then" asked Representative Garner, OF
Texas. "that Secretary Knox does not
want TO send this dispute to The
Hasus?"
II can well see how there is some
hesitation on his part to take into The
Hague this indefensible case. He does
not want to go in with a losing case
in which the Judges can do nothing
but say we should pay Colombia the
intrinsic value Of the isthmus
That this would amount to $loo'ooo'-
900 he estimates Is conservative
figure.
