 washington, D. C.. Zee. ts.-T The uresidents request that the Senate ppatfy the treaty wich the adminis- .ration has made with the Republic If Colum3oia brings back to public o,tention very ancient quarrel, which is greatly in needed of settling.
 Although the events with which
 De treaty deals were famous enough sat tbe time, the years have m de ,hem dim in the memory Of all but few. The general public really 1oosn't know what the treaty is shout nor whether it should be ra.i- fed
 and the reason why the Senate has rpfused to ratify it at the request 0f two presidents, is that it amounts to confession of wrong-doing, or at least an expression of regret for past events by the United States govern ment.
 But there is also very strong reason for ratifying the treaty. That is that such action would go a long way to improve the standing of the Tinted States and of all citizens thereof in Latin America. The lit tle tropical republics are inclined to regard the United States ss big bullv bent on talking from them what she wants and giving nothing in return The way Tn which we took Panama away from Colombia, whatever justification it may have had in eXpediency has naturally ten ded to strengthen that impression in the I.atin-America mind.
 Ratification of this treaty vii. mean that the United State; has de- cided to, make some reparation 10 Colombia fer it's part in causing he" to lose the province of Panama. and also the $1O,000000 which went to Panama instead of Colombia as our payment for the canal rights. + + +

At least this has been the opinion of Presidents Taft and Will son, both of whom have advocated the mea sure as the only course left to the United States in order to square herself with Colombia and restore the confidence of the South Amer ican countries.
