covered a fear on the part of the Colom-

timation of the pleasure it would afford
him to include Colombia in his itinerary
was met by the assertion that such a
visit would be 'sinopportune.
Turning to the latest Colombian request
for an arbitration under the terms Of the
old treaty of 1916, whereby the United
States guaranteed the neutrality of the
isthmus, in consideration of enjoying the
right OF free transit. the Secretary held
that n decision on that point would re-
vive the cid charges, which as has been
pointed out, were not subject to arbitra-
ton.
Referring to the last phases of the nego-
tiations, as conducted by American Min
lister Dubois. it was stated that pro-
gramme was evolved intended to demon
strate the sincere desire of the United
States to alay once for all the ill feeling
existing i'll Colombia. But because pre-
yious adjustments had been twice shat
tered by the failure of their final accep-
tance at Bogota the representative said
it was felt that any fresh form of pro-
posals should emanate from the Colom-
blan government. Therefore, the minis
ter was authorized simply to make known
through informal and confidential con.
versations certain bases, which If pro-
duced in the form of proposals, made to
the United States by the government of
Colombia, would receive sympathetic con-
sideration by this government. This pro-
gramme proposed the ratification by CO.
lcmbia of the tripartite treaties, in consid-
Grafton of $4,000 900 paid to Colombia for
the right to construct canal through Co.
lombian territory and the perpetual lease
of the islands of St. Andrews and Old
Providence. The United States was also
to use it's good offices to secure an ad-
justment by arbitration or otherwise of
all issues between Colombia and Panama
including the boundary dispute.
To Arhitrate Ownership
II this proposal was unacceptable. the
United States offered to arbitrate the
ownership of the reversionary, rights In
the Panama railway. This proposal fail
pose an amendment which would per-
nit the payment to Colombia of the ST.
$4,000 under the terms of the Root-Cortes
treaty, without reference to the action
by Colombia upon the Colombia Panaman
treaty. ~
Minister Dubois was told by the Co.
lombian president that he would not rec
ommend to the Colombian congress rat
ifcation Of the ArOsemena-Cortes treaty;
that he could not approve the perpetual
lease OF the two islands, but suggested
a GO year option on the canal route and
terininable coaling privileges on the is
lands. which was not acceptable to the
United States.
The next information from Mr.. Dubois,
dated January 81 last, was to the effect
that the Colombian government felt de-
fermined to treat with the Incoming DEM
ocratic administration. whereupon he was
told to drop the matter after the de-
livery OF 4 personal note to the Colon
bian president as follows
