MINISTER TAKES
ISSUE WITH r. r..

Hallstoad, Pa, July lin a statement
issued here Tonight dealing with the
proposed Colombian treaty, James r. Du
Bois who was United States minister to
Colombia under the Taft administration
takes issue with the Views recently eX-
pressed by Colonel Roosevelt and ex-
plains his own reasons for supporting the
treaty. He also analyses the treaty at
some length Regarding his difference
with Colonel Roosevelt on this subject,
Mr.. Dubois expresses regret at opposing
IA great leader whose fortunes ] de-
Vote6'y followed for ten years" and
states that mo man will tolerate the
thought that any of Colonel Roosevelt $
acts was inspired by tainted motives, but
no man is always right"
Negotiations for treaty during the
Taft administration failed, he says, be-
cause his Instructions, out OF excessive
care not to impuEn the motives of presi-
dent Roosevelt in taking Panama, fail
ed to give Colombia sufficient justice.
The pending treaty, he believes. should
be heartily approved by the American
people.
