Senator Watson's
Maiden Speech May
Rap Colombian Treaty
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Senator
Thomas E. Watson returned to WASH
ington today to assume his senatorial
duties. The junior Georgia senator
appeared in excellent health and
ready for the fray of the extra ses-
sion.
1t is probable that Senator Wat
son will make his maiden speech in
the senate when the Colombian treaty
comes before that body. He is OPP
posed to this treaty, and has been OPP
posed to it for many years. He as
serts he has found no reason for
changing his mind, and believes that
the payment of $25,OOO,OOO to Colon
bia constitutes an apology to that
nation, whether or not the treaty
carries any apologize words.
In other words, it is Mr.. Watson's
view that money talks" and that
a $25,0OO,000 payment is louder
talking than any words that might be
inserted regarding the taking of the
Panama canal strip.
