KNOX MAY NOT
VISIT COLOMBIA
COLOMBIAN MINISTER SUGGESTS
TIMF is TN0PPoRTuNE."
Minister'S Suggestion Taken in Diplo'
matte Circles as Personal Affront
to This Government.
I%CopyTIEht. lgl2.l

WashingtOn.-A grave diplomatic sit
uation between the United States and
Colombia has been precipitated by the
publication of a letter which Senior Pedro
Mel Ospina, the Colombian minister, has
written to Acting Secretary Huntington
Wilson Of the state department, suggest
ing that it might be ''~inopportune' for
Secretary Knox to visit Colombia during
his projected tour of Central America.
The Colombian minister, first drawing
attention to 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.
lnasmuch as the letter, admittedly, is
the personal expression of the minister,
written without having communicated
with his government, it was received at
the state department in the nature of a
personal insult to this government.
Acting Secretary Wilson had advised
Senior Ospina of the probable itinerary
OF Secretary Knox. What is said to have
particularly aroused the Colombian min
lister was a reference to the republic Of
Panama in the itinerary, a country
whose independence Colombia never has
recognized. He makes yelled reference
to the long delay of the United States
in answering several notes addressed to
it, seeking arbitration, and charges that
this government has Disseminated
against Colombia in failing to give to
her arbitration, which the United States
