THE PANAMA CANAL TBEATY.
We print today in another col-
umn a statement from Senator Col
kerson setting forth hie views on the
canal treaty recently negotiated with
Panama. In his usual lucid style
the Senator sets out his objections
to the ratification of the treaty by
this government holding that the
recognition of the provisional gov-
ernment of Panama by the Roose-
velt administration was a violation
ef international law and interna-
tional morality. He severely calls
to task President Roosevelt for vio-
lation of the law laid down in the
Spooner act holding that th3 ad-
ministration should have proceeded
to negotiate with Nicaragua upon
the failure to ratify the Hay-Her-
ran treaty by Colombia. This p»-
per has long been favorable to the
^icarairua route although it is Ihr»e
times the length of the Panama
route. It believes that the admin-
intration at Washington in a meas-
ure fomented and encouraged the
Pan una rebellion. It holds that
the president has no more right to
▼loiate trie law t!i«n the humbieat
&ml poorest finipn; yet it cannot
l»iinii its»-lf to favor the re ]**ct Ion oi
the treaty. Jt ^rniits tt.« content ι >ti

ombia would be encountered again.
Dealings with two government·
rather than one. Unquestionably
the transcontinental railroad* of
this country are largely responsible
for Colombia's rejection of the Hay·
Herran treaty. Their influence
would interfere with the Nicaragua
1 negotiation·. To reject the present
treaty does not restore Panama to
Colo nbfa; does not undo what the
republican administration has at·
ready done. It simply gives these
great railroads additional strength
: to continue tbe fight against an
inter-oceanlc canal.
This is not a question now of tbe
right of Panama to secede; it is not
a question oi wiiet'uei President
Roosevelt acted within the law; it
is not a question of partv or of par
tisan politics. It is a question of
whether the greed ignorance and
avarice of a semi-civilized nation
shall stand in the way of bringing a
groat blessing to the world; it is a
question of canal or no canal.
It is far from us to criticise Sena- j
tor Culberson's position. He is a
man of the highest moral concep- |
tions of the strictest sense of jus-
tice and integrity. He believes na-
tional honor as sacred as personal
honor. He never makes a decision
until he has exhausted every means
at his command to correctly inform
himself. He is a constitutional
lawyer of unquestioned ability.
Knowing these tilings we would
more readily accept ni» views but
in this instance we cannot see the
matter as does the able Senator.
Panama is a recognized republic.
Jt has taken its place as an indi-
)>Aliriant o-ovummoiit jra nnn.
pie are only halt-civiliaed but the
same is true of Colombia. The
Colombians rejected a treaty which
was generouely liberal to them in
the hope of forcing us to "hand
over.'' This nation weak and un-
able to conduct its own internal
affairs a de facto bankrupt without
stability in any department; stood
and 's standing now as a barrier to
progress holding back the flood
tide of commerce and civilization.
Our high sense of national righteous-
ness would not permit us to take
her territory by force. We cannot
but condemn the hasty recognition i
of a revolting junta by our own gov-1
eminent as violative of internation- :
al morale if not law. Hut all this
does not touch the issue. Panama
is in possession of the canal right-
of-way. It his beeu confirmed in
that possession by several of the
world powers. This country ob-
tains valuable rights and conces-
sions by this treaty and is able to j
protect them Why should we not
ratify a treaty which gives even
more than we asked tor and se-
cure·- a waterway which the whole
world demands. In the case of
Hawaii we not only overthrew the
government but did U without pro-
vocation in a time of profound
peace; eet up our own form of gov-
ernment an J annexed the island.
The democratic party cannot af-
ford to make the mistake of defeat-
ing this treaty. To make the canal
question an issue it) the campaign
is to invite defeat. It is even
more. It is a notice that democracy
is retiring as a political factor in
our government.

SENATOR CULBERSON'S VIEW
Opposes Panama Canal Treaty
on Ground of Immorality.
In the Dallas News last Sunday
appeared a statement from Senator
Cbas. A. Culberson regarding the
pending canal treaty. The state-
ment is too lengthy to be given In
full in our columns but briefly
stated his reasons are:
1. A preference for the Nicaragua
route because of its proximity to
Texas and better climatic condi-
lions and its apaptatlon to sailing
vessels whereas the Panama canal |
would not be suited to sailing. The
subsidizing of the revolt in Pana-
ma by the old canal company that
it mitfht unload its property on us 1
for $40000000. This preference how-
ever would not of itself cause Him
to vote against the treaty.
o rrι
law. "I. Under the Spooner law
inspired by the Administration the
president should now proceed with !
arrangement» with Nicaragua for
the construction of the cauai. Its
provisions are mandatory and defi-
ance of law should no more be
sanctioned and condoned in the
president than in auy other official.
This iaw provides that should the
president he unable to obtain for
the United States control of the
necessary territory of the Republic
of Columbia within a reasonable
time and upon reasonable terms he
should construct the canal over the
Nicaragua route. I'he treaty was
rejected by the Columbian senate
Aug. Γ2 vet the president
waited until November for a revolt
or action by this govecnment look-
ing to seizure of the canal strip.
There can t>e no misunderstand-

tor "for the president frankly avows
it in his message. Kor the first
time in the history of Constitutional
Government the president of a free
people boldly proclaimed the kinsrly
do{jn>4 «f international eminent d->-
main and announced bis purpose to
propose the seizure of the territorv
of Colombia without Us consent
He does not think that should this
treaty he defeated wh would be at (
the mercy of Costa Rica and Nicar-
agua hecaise of separate protocol
agreemt· nts dateJ Dec. 1 I!KM by
which those countries obligated
themselves to enter into treaties
with this nation at a stipulated price
r.f i7»KM0(M and $10 (MO yearly j
rentals whereas the Panama treaty
provides for a payment of $10000000
and $Λ0<Μ0 yearly rental».
3. That the president encou^a^ed
the revolt and his conduct in thf '
treatment of the situation in l'an.» «
ma was a gross violation of inter·
national law He says the evident-»
is conclusive that the administra
tion by its action encouraged the
revolt and welcomed it gladly. In i
substantation of this statement he
quotes an interview with the chair-
nan of the senate committee on '
Foreign Relations about Aug. "JO
ast in which the revolt in Panama
was siiiiifei-ted and the probable ac-
i.»n of this government hinted
"The attempted recognition of η
Panama as a separate Government H
)v the President was e<jue||v repre- |
lensible. Never before in all our «

that the free transit from the one to

sequence the United States also

"From this it will be seen that

the neutrality of the isthmus with ;

Columbia as the successor to New
