that the committeeman went away

the more important features of the
legislation so that its passage can be
expedited. He disclosed the food
situation in the United States and

stated emphatically to those gathered
about him that it would be difficult to
express in parliamentary language
what should be done with anyone who
would speculate in food products In a

WILSON URGES INDEMNITY TO
COLUMBIA FOR PANAMA

Washington, February 19-Presi-
dent Wilson has sent letter to Chair
man Stone of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations committee urging action dur
ing this session of Congress on the
treaty to indemnity Colombia for the
separation of Panama.
1t has been indicated recently that
there would be no action on the
Colombian treaty during this session,
but the President is very anxious that
it be ratified, so as to clear away one
of the potent sources of friction in
Pan-American relations.
The President is said to have point
ed out that in the event of hosi!ities
between the United States and fore
ign power, it would be unfortunate If
any misunderstanding existed with
any country in this hemisphere. Sem
ator Stone called a meeting of the
Foreign Relations Committee for next
Wednesday to lay before 1t the Pres
ident's letter. Opposition to the treaty
has been so vigorous in the Senate
that it has been impossible even to get
it up for discussion Notwithstanding
that the committee amended it at the
last session to reduce the indemnity to
be paid Colombia for the partition of
Panama from $25,OOO,OOO to $15,OOO,-
900.
Senator Stone said tonight he did
not know whether in the light of
the new international situation the
Senate could be prevailed on to act
He thinks this should be ascertalned
before any time is waster in consider
ing the treaty in the Senate.
So far as Senators are aware, there
has been no understanding with
Colombia as to whether the treaty in
its amended form would be acceptable
to that government.

Monday, February 26.

Congress has expressed his approval
of the Presidents plan on the German
question. All express the fullest con-
viction that II the President should
call on former President Taft, former
Senator Root, Charles e. Hughes,
George w. Wickersham or Gov. Hiram
Johnson, of California, to enter his
cabinet, or to perform any other pa
triotic service, he would not do SO in
vain. Some Progressive names under
discussion in connection with cabinet
changes are those of Bainbridge Col
by, of New York, and Francis j. Heney
Of California.
Some of Mr.. Bryan's friends are
urging that he be invited to enter a
coalition cabinet If formed. They sug-
gest that he be made postmaster gen.
eral in place of Mr.. Burleson.
The concensus among both Demo-
Gratis and Republicans is that If Pres
ident Wilson decides to reconstruct
his cabinet to meet the present
emergency, he will replace Mr.. Bur-
Lesson, Secretary of War Baker, Secre-
tsry of Commerce Redfeld. Attorney
General Gregory and. as remote
possibility, Secretary of the Navy
Daniels, although there is a marked
division of opinion regarding the ca
pabilities Of Mr.. Daniels.
Democrats and Republicans alike
admit the possibility of making
changes in the official personnel of
the government if the crisis with
Germany ultimately provokes war.
They are of the opinion that the
President will not hesitate to call to
his aid the ablest men in the country
to serve on an executive council and
give him the benefit of their wisdom
and experience.
The first step in this direction
they believe, will be to invite some OF
the men named above, and others

The creation of such cabinet in
entente countries has been resortet
to remove possible friction from do.
nestle causes that might impair mill
tary efficiency. This is the thought
responsible for the suggestion eman.
ating from both circles in ongress
The project is being generally dis
cussed by Republicans.
The attitude of the Republicans to.
ward the President in the present
crisis, as reflected by the indorse'
ment of his decision to break with
Germany shows that the Republicans
desire to contribute their complete
patriotic support to the nation.
Republican congressman are dis
cussing the possibility of the Presi

to make room for the representatives
of the other political parties.
The trend of this discussion indi
