PACT ExCORIATED
Senators Call the Colombian
Treaty ''Blackmail Demand"

Condemning as "a blackmail demand
the proposed s8.ooo,ooo treaty with the
Republic Of Colombia, four Republican
members of the Senate Committee Iz,n
Foreign Relations today made public
their views. They denounced the instru-
ment in scathing terms as "a desrada-
ton to which the United States should
never submit" The Republicans were
Senators Borah. Lodge. Brandegee, and
Fall.
Senator Knox, OF Pennsylvania bolted
his Republican colleagues and expressed
the view that the necessity Of restoring
neighborly relations with a South Ameri-
can government. at this juncture. de-
mands the ratification Of the treaty.
In siding with the Democratic sup-
porters of the treaty, Senator Knox took
the ground that although the United
States was completely justified in the
course it took in dealing with the re-
calcitrant Colombians a dozen years ago,
nevertheless the exigency demanded
ratification.
The majority report, signed by all the
Democratic members of the Foreign
public. 1t urged prompt ratification Of
the pact in the interest of a stronger
pan-Americanism. The suggestion that
sop to Colombia at this time furnish
ed opportunity to halt German plottings
with the Colombians and guaranteed
safety to the Panama Canal in the event
of strife which has been the administra-
ton plea for favorable consideration OK
the treaty, was not reiterated in the
majority report.
The minority's condemnation of the
treaty included the following arraign-
ment of the document
We cannot AFFORD to purchase cordial
relations with any country. We cannot
afford to answer a blackmail demand.
Once respond to such a demand and we
shall be held up for every fancied wrong
by other countries.
The second objection which lies
against any possible treaty with Colom-
bia at this time is to be found in the
fact that immediate and hasty action is
urged because Colombia threatens US
with hostilities. Any friendship which is
bought is worthless, especially when pur-
chased under threats which, when sue
cessful, breed contemDt IN tha mind of
the seller and sense of bitter humilia-
ton and dislike in that of the buyer No
strong proud nation should ever consent
to buy with money the abstention from
hostility Of any country which sees At
to threaten It 1t is a degradation to
which the United States should never
submit"
