 WASHINGTON. April 14-Pay- ment to Colombia of s25,000.000 as provided in the Colombian treaty was advocated in the senate today as d measure of justice and a moral obli- gation and attacked today as without justification.
 Senator Pomerene of Ohio, open ing the fight for ratification for the Democratic side, declared justice de- manded that Colombia be compensat- ed for the loss of Panama through events in which the participation by the United States, he asserted could not be defended.
 Says U. s. Buying Friendships
 Ratification was urged by Senator Knox, Republican, Pennsylvania, be- cause the United States was "mor- ally bound to compensate Colombia not for what she lost, but for what we gained" Taking issue with Sen ator Pomerene. he asserted that the course of the United States squared
 to our rights and duties and to the governing rules and principles of in ternational law"
