Senator Dill, of Washington, is
the source from which the bolt
at the State Department was
directed. He introduced a resolution
in the Senate late this afternoon dc.
manding that Secretary of State
Hughes at once transmit TO
the Senate all diplomatic cor

bia and Argentina in this hemis-
phere and also in Czechoslovakia.
Portuguese East Africa, Palestine,
Mesopotamla, Persia. Burma and
the Dutch East Indies in the
eastern hemisphere.
Senator Dill's resolution starts
from the recollection that the first
public act of the Harding Ad-
ministration was to negotiate and
ratify a treaty with the United
States of Columbia giving the Co
lombian government $25,000,000 at
the specific request of Secretary of
the Interior Albert B. Fall for the
express purpose Of securing oil
concessions in Colombia for Amer

panies.
Fall Behind Treaty.
Senator Dill points out that the
driving force behind the treaty
was Secretary Fall, and that his
statistics and arguments were pub.
licly brought directly from the
Interior Department to the floor of
the Senate and were the admitted
reasons why the treaty got two
thirds majority for its ratifica-
ton.
Starting from that point. Senator

precisely what its activities have
been in relation to American oil
