The Statement, in Part.

The statement, in part, follows:
"The present administration found
an estrangement existing between the
United States and Colombia, an es-
arrangement that has continued for
nearly 13 years. AS the normal rela-
ton between nations is one for friend
ship. it is desirable hat differences
shall be adjusted and cordial relations
resumed. 1t Is not necessary to dis
cuss the events which gave rise to this
estrangement, because 1t does not mat
ter which party was at fault. The
estrangement exists, and this is the
fact that must be dealt with.
Colombia has all along insisted
upon arbitration. If this nation were
willing to arbitrate it would not be
necessary 10 discuss terms of settle
ment because in the cas- of arbitra-
ton the parties accept the finding of
the arbitrators and settle their differ
ences according to the terms prescrib-
ed. 1t is not the policy of nations,
however, to settle by arbitration ques-
tions like those arising between the
United States and Colombia, and as
arbitration is not resorted to, the set
Element must be made by direct ne
gotiations. Our nation, being much
the larger nation, and having refused
to arbitrate, takes upon itself the re,
sponsibility of doing justice to Colon.

Has Sustained Loss.


Colombia feels that she has been
aggrieved, and whatever may be said
as to whether or not this feeling is
justified, no one will deny that she
has sustained financial loss In the sep
aration of Panama from her. Before
the separation took place this govern
ment offered Colombia $40, 900, 900 for
canal route and $250,O00 a year for 100
years. This annuity might be capital
lied at about $500. 900, so that this
governments estimate of the loss suf-
fered by Colombia could not be less
than about SIT. 500, 900. But that esti-
mate was made upon the superstition
that Colombia would retain the state
or department of Panama. The reten-
tion of Panama would have given to
Colombia not only the value of Pan
anna, but the incidental benefits to be
derived from proximity to the canal.
We cannot deny, therefore, hat the
actual loss to Colombia was consider.

Negotiations Of Du Bois.
"There is no doubt that Mr.. Du
Bots was authorized to make known
to Colombia that the United States
would offer as the basis of a treaty il
assured of acceptance by Colombia,
$10.0 900, 900 for the Atrate river canal
route and arbitration of the reversion-
airy interest of Colombia in the rail-
road. This reversionary interest WAS
valued. at about &c. 600, 900, which
would have been the sum awarded to
Colombia IL the arbitration was de-
cided in her favor. The $4,000, 900
ior the Atrate route, and the $40. 000,-
600 was evidently intended more as
l~iquidated damages than as the price
OF the canal route, together with the
value of the r~eversionary interest in
the railroad would amount to $26,
900, 900.
IF cordial relations are to be re-
stored with Colombia they must be
restored on a basis that is satisfactory
to Colombia. Friendships cannot rest
upon force; neither can they rest up
on a~cquiescence in the power Of might.
ven If Colombia, under protest and
against the judgment of her people,
accepted a less sum than that we Of
fer, it would not restore the relations
that ought to exist. We must satisfy
their sense OF Justice. although a less
sum might satisfy our sense Of JUS
tice. In every settlement there must
be concessions.

FINE FRUITS OF
 SOUTH AMERICA
Grapes at $4.20 for a Single Cluster and Apples at 9
 Cents Each.

When the Panama canal once opens for business, many industries which have hitherto been more or less dor mant in South America will be stirn- ulated into activity. The United States furnishes a profitable market for many products of the southern continent. aud, with easy and rapid transporta- ton facilities supplied, this market will extend to perishab1e as well as the more staple products. One of the most profitable industries for which some ot the South American countries are es- pecia.lly well adapted is that Of fruit growing. In recent article in the Monthly Bulletin of the Pan American Union, w. F. Wight of the United writes:
 South America probably has a range of climate and variety of con ditions that will admit of the success full cultivation of every known fruit. Very nearly all of present importance have been introduced into one locality or another. In the tropical or sub- tropical regions are those adapted to such a a climate. namely. the sapo- dilla, nlammee apple. mango bread fruit, banana, tamarinde, pomegran- ites avocado. loquat, olive. fig. orange and lemon, in addition to those native. Tn temperate regions. nearly all of the declduOuS Ifu1IS grown Tn srneE United States have been introduced.' .''
 In Argentina, the grape is the fruit which has atatained the greatest com mercial importance and the Mend oza country seems to lead all other sec tions. According to MT. Wight, un- developed land in the vicinity of Men doza is considered worth from $170 valued at $850 to $1,2e0 per acre valued ata $85O to s1,2oo per acre. The net profit from vines in good bearing condition is said to be about $17o per acre.

fit of $s4o to $1,0oo per acre, and , that he had received as high as $4.20 for single selected clusters in Buenos Aires.
 The area in vines for the whole of Argentina is stated at 259. 1000 acres in 1910, and the productions of wines as 92,674. 900 gallons. valued at more than 25 million dollars. In the same year California produced nearly 45.- 500. 900 gallons. valued at, a little more than thirteen million dollars.
 Leaving Mendoza and passing over the barren heights of the Andes at an altitude of more than 10000 feet the traveller arrives in Chile. One seems to have reached another California, but with a climate possibly even more mild. There are, in fact, many sfrni- ilarities, and all of the fruits grown in California are produced in Chile. probably in equal perfection. but with far less care. and the industry has not developed as in North America.
 Here.*too. the grape is the most inn portant fruit, the annual production being about 100000 gallons of ex- cel1ent wine. The section about Val divia Is also noted for it's fine apples. those from one weIl-known grower. having frequently sold in Buenos Aires for $I0.50 a. box of 40 apples. while individual fine specimens have retaileds even in Santiago, for 22 cents each.
 Leaving Chile and going northward to Peur. Bolivia and Ecuador, one reaches countries that lie wholly in the tropics, and yet in consequence of the high altitude of some sections, they present range of climate as great as that of any country on the continent and as we'll suited for the cultivation of deciduous fruits In these regions, apricots ripen from De- cember to February; cherries from November to February; peaches from December to March; p1unns from Jan uary to March; pears from February to May; grapes from January to May or June. In other words, just when the native fruits of the United States are out of season here, they are in season in the southern hemisphere.
 Last year, the United State imp port- ed something over $32, ,000,OO0 worth of fruits from foreign countries. These consisted almost altogether of the kinds that are produced in limited quantities or not at all in this country, such as baQanas, entrants, dates, figs, olives, etc. Apricots peaches, pears, plums, cherries and many other fruits would find splendid market here in the winter season, if they could be had fresh.
 It is this demand for these fruits in the off season, which will develop the fruit industry in the west coast coun- tries of South America. for with re- frigerator steamers they can be ship ped via the Panama Canal from Cal lao, Peru, to New Orleans in seven or eight days and the fast fruit trains of the railways will have them in Chi cago and eastern markets in two or three days more.

FIGHTING THE ROSE APHIS
Easy to Control the. Pest, If
 Growers Will Use a Little Care in Spraying.

Washington, May 27.-Rose growers who allow the flowers to be damaged by the ravages of the rose aphis have only themselves to blame, according to the U. s. Department of Agricu1ture. Although the ap1is is widespread ov- CT the entire country, as well as abroad 1t is easily controlled. Careful spray ing of the plants with solutions of nicotine will remove all danger and neither the expense nor the trouble involved is sufficiently great to be g. real obstacle.
 The rose aphisS is g small insect with a body about one-twelfth of an inch long. The young and some adult forms are wingless but certain adults develop wings from time to time. The color varies from green to pink. By means of its slender beak the ap1lis sucks out the juices of the plant on whose buds and unfolding leaves it feeds. These, prevented from attain ing their perfect form, become curled and distorted and the beauty of the flowers is in large measure ruined. Moreover the aphis secretes sweet sticky liquid called honeydew which spells the appearances of the foliage on which itsis deposited.
 Under favorable conditions it prop agates rapidly throughout the year. For example. some recent investiga- tions conducted in California by the
 
 that one female gave birth to 4e young an six days. At the end of that time, the mother aphis was knocked from the rose and perished.
 This is not at all an uncommon fate. A heavy rain, which washes the insects away is one of it's most natural checks. though birds and oth- CT insects prey upon the aphis to a considerable extent. Extreme heat is also unfavorabIe to the aphis.
 The rose lover should not however. depend upon nature to rid his garden of the pest. A 40 per cent solution of nicotine Is much surer and not much more trouble fOne part of the so-. 1ution to from ]. 1000 to 2,000 parts of water with the addition of one pound. of whaleroi1 soap to every 50 gallons of the mixture is recommended in Bull Ietin 90. saThe Rose Aphis. " which the U. S. Departne of Agriculture has just issued. A more convenient re- cipe, when there are only a few bush es to be treated, is a teaspoonful of 40 per cent nicotine solution to two gallons of water and one-ha.H ounce of whaIe-oiI soap. The soap should be shaved fine and dissolved in hot water.
 Mixtures of this character should be applied as 8 fine, penetratiang spray by means Of a compressed air sprayer or bucket pump Such a pump costs from $3.50 to $16.00. Together with nicotine solutions it can usually be obtained at seed stores If no pump is to be had. however the infest- ed twigs should be dipped in pail of the solution. Care should be taken to use these solutions at strengths no greater than those mentioned above, since injury to the foliage may result through the use of too much soaps or naildew be favored by too strong nic- otine solution.
 Application of insecticides should be made on the first appearance of the, pest which varies from the time that the leaves are put forth until the buds begin to form. Applications should be repeated as found neces- sary.

Tom, who was the pitcher, looked as
solemn as an owl.
He bent over and touched the ground

tied, and whiz-Z-z-z came the ball MI:
Rags swung and missed it. He looked
very surprised and angry, but Tommy
only smiled and bowed very politely
breath.

tied himself up in another knot and
then let loose. Slam went Rags and
Whiz-z-z-z sped the ban past his very
nose. He looked more surprised than
ever, and Toby Hicks thought that he
said a naughty word.
Couldn't you throw those balls
little better?' he cried at Tommy, and
naughty Tommy Tabby spit on his
paws and dug down in his pockets and
said, "Yassir. You bet I can just like
a tramp cat.
With that he threw nice, easy
straight throw, but it was a huge
tomato and not the ball which left his
hands.
Mr.. Rags saw it coming and squared
his feet threw back his head, and
splash He struck the tomato right
in the middle and il flew in his face
and eyes, and mouth He dropped the
bat and sputtered and cOughed and
said naughty words and wiped his eyes
and danced, calling on the boys to help
him.
But when he finally could see a little
wee bit there was not a kitty or pup
in sight and he was alone and dirty
on the filed. He sneaKed in the back
door and washed his face at the pump.
Not for words would he tell Mrs. Rags.
I'll never play with those children
again." he said at the supper tible, a
little later. Mrs Rags cOughed so
hard when he told her this that she
had to leave the room, and he sat, hot
and uncomfortable listening to the
noise in the kitchen. Did Mrs. Rags
know? He dared not ask, and Mrs.
Rags did not tell, but the next day
everyone in Tabbyland knew il any
way.
He stayed in his shop and attended
to business after that for a long time
and no one dared even so much as
whisper baseball" when he was about!

At the mention of that both crea-

''WeH, it is that Rags man." she said
as soon as she could get her breath
Instead of attending to his business,

the other young creatures. 1 heard
him telling your son, Tom, the other

show them how to bat any time that

that?" asked Mrs. Tabby. I like to

tricks on anyone"
Il hope they do cure him. said Mrs

they did.
Poor Mr.. Rags. He would play with
the naughty Tabby boys and Toby
