MINISTER INSULTING
SENIOR OsPiNA SUGGESTS THAT
SECRETARY KNOX OMIT VISIT
TO COLOMBIA.
Diplomatic Relations May Be Severed
and Recall of Obnoxious Agent in
Washington viii Probab Follow
His lll-timsd Cutburst.

Washington.-A grave diplomatic sit
lation between the United States and
Colombia has been precipitated by the
publication of letter witch Senior Pc
dro Mel Ospina, the Colombian min
lster, has written to Acting Secretary
Huntington Wilson of the state depart
ment, suggesting that it might be in
opportune" for Secretary Knox to visit
Colombia on his projected tour OF
Central America.
The Colon bian minister, first draw
ing attention 10 the fact that the views
are his own and not officially those OF
his government, seriously criticises the
United States for not submitting to
arbitration the differences with Colon
bia growing out of this governments
acquisition of the Panama canal zone.
Inasmuch as the letter admittedly is
the personal expression of the min
ister, it was received at the state de-
partment as a personal insult to this
government. No action has been TAX
en-, but the incident is known to have
stirred officials of the United States
to such an extent that the recall of the
Colombian minister is expected.
1t is believed a termination of diplo-
matte relations between this country
and Colombia is in prospect.

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times OF March %,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
At the present moment eight ship
loads OF European immigrants are
afloat for Canada. while there are
signs that IL outward movement
which is customary with us during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There Is no such startling rec
ord Of our loss to Canada Our clti-
Gems quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
is not advertised
There is no mystery why Canada
is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t is because Canada is
following in Its neighbours footsteps
that 1t is repeating the fortunate ex-
perience which It's neighbor is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
its back on the teachings OF the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus of $39,0O0,00O, and on Thurs
day the Government passed through
the committee on Supply credits OF
$3S 100000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find a single road allot-
ting ten millions for work Of it's own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work This influx Is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing in their
high-priced American lands.
