VOTE FOR INDEMNITY
SENATE VOTES TO SATISFY
CLAIMS OF COLOMBIA.
SENATOR LODGE DECLARES RATI
FiCATiON PART OF GREAT
NATIONAL POLICY.
Western Newspaper Union News Service

Washington, April 2l.-The ColOm-
bia treaty has been ratified by the Sen
ate. 1t provides payment by the
United States of S25,000,OO0 to the
South American republic, but has yet
TO be approved by the Colombian AS
sembly. The vote was 90 TO 10, IL
more than the necessary tw0-thirds.
Fifteen Republicans ami four Demo
Gratis voted against ratification. Forty
Republicans were joined by twenty
nine Democrats in voting for ratifica-
ton.
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho,
was defeated, 40 TO 80, in an attempt
to insert n clause declaring provisions
of the treaty could not be taken as
implying that the United States aided
in the Panaman revolt or violated any
treaty with Colombia.
The proposal of Senator Poindexter
to reduce the payment to S15,OOO,OO0
lost, IS To %.
The Harding administration through
The ratification won its first fight in
the Senate. The President in a mes
sage March Q, five days after Inaugural
ton, recommended ratification as
Every helpful in promoting our friendly
relationships"
This recommendation was supple
mented by Senator Lodge, Republican
leader, who in reply to attacks of Re
publican senators of the progressive
group, declared ratification was part
of II great national foreign policy" con
templated by President Harding.
A murmur swept the chamber when
Senator Lodge changed front on the
amendment. A milder demonstration
had occurred when he supported ii on
the first call.
The final vote ended eight days of
debate. Opponents, composed largely
of what is known as the Progressive
Republican group, were vigorous in
their denunciation Of the pact. They
declared its acceptance would place u
stain on the name of Theodore Roose-
welt, would be a useless squander of
public money and would amount to
compliance with "a blackmail demand
on the part Of Colombia"
The Colombian treaty grew out of
the charge that the United States had
wronged Colombia in the partition of
Panama. Ii was one thing in a Sc
quence of many connected with the
building of the Panama canal, and
what was characterized by its pro-
ponents, "the taking of the isthmus
by Theodore Roosevelt while Congress
debated"
Those who urged ratification charged
that when Panama revolted from Co
lombian rule, American naval forces
prevented Colombia from recovering
her lost territory.
The treaty as at first negotiated
expressed 'the regret" of the United
States. Later it was redrawn merely
10 pay SO. 100000 to Colombia.
On Nov. 3, 1908, Panama revolted.
A small American naval force. less
than fifty men. the record says, was
landed to protect Americans. Ten
days later the United States recog- |
nized Panama, guaranteed her indie |
pendence. and later made the treaty
by which the canal zone was coded to
the United States, and the canal was
built.
