Wilson and Bryan Ask Senate
0. K. Colombia Treaty.
TEXT OF PACT is GIVEN
Secretary Asserts $25,ooo, 900 Payment
Is Not Excessive-WouId Restore
Friendly Relations in
Panama.
TEXT OF PACT IS GIVEN

Washington, June 19.-President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, the first
in message to the senate and the
second in note to the chief execu-
tive, directly apply the expression OF
regret in the treaty negotiated with
Colombia to the part the United States
played in connection with the separa-
ton Of Panama from its mother coun-
try.
The president, transmitting the
treaty to the senate with request
for its ratification, described it as a
convention between the United
States and the Republic of Colombia
for the settlement of their differences
arising out of the events which took
place on the Isthmus of Panama in
November, 1903"
The language used by the president
is that employed by Mr.. Bryan in sub
hitting the treaty to the president for
transmission to the senate.
Panama declared it's independence
in November, 1903.
That there might be no question as
to the action of the United States
which caused the abject apology set
forth in the above article, the pre-
amble Of the treaty contains this spe-
cif1c declaration:
1.-THE United States of America and
the Republic of Colombia being desir'
Gus to remove all the misunderstand-
ings growing out of the political
events in Panama in November, 1903;
to restore the cordial friendship that
formerly characterized the relations
define and regulate their rights and in
terests in respect to the interoceanic
canal which the government of the
United States is constructing across
the Isthmus of Panama, have resolved
for this purpose to conclude a treaty.
and have accordingly appointed plent-
potentiaries for the purpose"
To make the apology all the more
acceptable to Colombia various conces-
sions are made with reference to the
use of the canal, and to quote article
8: "The United States of America
agrees to pay to the Republic of Co
lombia, within six months after the ex-
change of notifications of the present
treaty, the sum of $25,000.O0O gold,
United States money"
Secretary Bryan, by whose direction
the treaty was negotiated, appeared
before the foreign relations commit
tee of the senate. He gave four rea-
sons for favorable action by the upper
house:
/. That the Wilson administration
had been forced to make the apology
and agree to pay such large sum in
consequence of the admissions of re-
greet and the suggestions for bigger
indemnity made by the Taft admins
tration.
2. That the treaty would restore
good feeling between the United
States and Colombia.
8. That the payment-of $25,000,000
gold would tend to restore amity be-
tween Colombia and the Republic of
Panama.
4. That ratification of the treaty
would remove suspicion of the United
States entertained in South America
and lead to the restoration of our pres
tige in that part of the world.
