OPPOSE TREATY
Republicans Plan Bitter Fight
on Colombian Pact.

Republican opposition to the Colombian
treaty as revised and reported to the
Senate yesterday will present solid
front which spells defeat Of its ratifi-
cation.
The disclosures of German rlottings
with Colombia. the increas scd emolument
10 Colombia of 100000 instead OF the
original sl5.0O0.O0O the expressed wiling
ness of the United States TO admit re-
Gret mutually with the South American
republic for ill-feeling which has existed
between the two nations. have all COM
bined to impress the Republicans that
the treaty is a bad one. The fight is
on. and for bitterness and intensity OF
partisan utterance IL bids fair to take
rank as the most acrimonious discussion
in which the Senate of the United States
has ever INDUCED.
The treaty in question is a legacy from
the administration OF William Jennings
Bryan as Secretary OF State. Originally
IL extended 10 Colombia the regret Of
the United States of the forceful partici-
patton OF American naval forces in the
overthrow of the Colombian control Of
Panama ami the establishment OF the
Panamanian Republic.
Yesterday the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations voted favorably on the
amended document with the increase to
the s25. 900 and the naturalization of
the expression of regret and the inclu-
sion of a guarantee by Colombia of the
rights of the United States in Panama
in perpetuity.
Lodge Hit Treaty.
Senator Lodge. OF Massachusetts. senior
minority member of the Committee
on Foreign Relations. gave voice to the
Republican opposition in a statement last
night. After charging former Secretary
sponsibilty for the instrument Senator
Lodge said:
The reasons given for its ratification
at this moment are enough TO condemn
ii. Even il l favored the treaty I would
not support it at this time because I am
not willing to have my country black
mailed. We are told. and truly. have
no doubt that German intrigues and
German influence have been active in
Colombia and therefore We must ratifV
this treaty and pay Colombia SIS. 600
We are told that Colombia will furnish
submarine bases to Germany from which
to assail our shipping and the Panama
Canal. and therefore in the present crisis
We must ratify the. trnaty and buy Co.
lombia off with s25.oO0OoO and All
apology
The legislative battle over the Co.
!ombian treaty is scheduled to begin to-
day. Senate leaders are hopeful of all
adjournment of the present special
Senate session before Saturday. 1t iS
asserted by the Republicans that unless
they are willing to sec the treaty de-
feated quickly they will not get away
