WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-The
United States may soon need all
the friends we can attach TO US In

wrote in a letter 20 Senator Stone
recently. urging immediate ratifcs-
ton OF the Colombian treaty. The
letter was given out last night:
The letter follows:
Ny Dear SENATOR take the lib

treaty with Colombia again for rati-
rcation. | admit my surprise that
there should be any objection TO It's
consideration or TO Immediate action
upon Ia In view of the unusual cir
cumstances Of the moment.
The main argument for the treaty
and for its immediate ratification Is.
OF course that IN IL We seek 90 do
justice 10 Colombia and 10 settle "A
long standing controversy which has
sadly interfered with the cordial re-
lnttonR between the two republics.
In addition to that argument. which
should be conclusive. there rs this

Donald states that several of the
