L00MIS WOULD PAY COLOMBIA NOTHING Treaty Called Stupen dous Bryan Blunder. PEACE THEORIES "RUN WILD" Ex-Acting-Secretary Speaks From Inside Knowledge. FALSE ACTIONS CHARGED Present Head of State Department in Position of Sacrificing Na tional Prestige , lor Par tisan Advantage. SAN FRANCISCO. June 28. (Special.) Secretary Bryan s proposed treaty be tween the United States and the repub lic of Colombia, now before the Senate for ratification, is vicious both as to motives and purpose. In the opinion of Francis B. Loomis, ex-Assistant Secre tary of State and Acting Secretary of State, one of the four men who alone know the Inside of the dealings with Colombia and the republic of Panama which made it possible for the United States to build the Panama Canal. The Bryan treaty .provides. It is said. that this Government pay Colombia $25,000,000 Indemnity, offer an humble and abject apology to her and permit Colombian munitions of war, citizens and cattle to pass through the Panama Canal free of tolls. Bryan "Dupe of Brigands. In a - statement here tonight Mr. Loomis said: Bryan's Colombian treaty Is a covert attempt to loot the United States treas ury by lobbyists and political brigands. Into whose hands the Secretary of State Is playing. "Bryan and the President are trying to besmirch and discredit the achieve ment of the previous Administration, which made the canal a reality. The treaty is one of the most stu pendous blunders made by Bryan, who is running wild with his "world peace' theories. ,r . - "The United States owes Colombia nothing, either by treaty or otherwise. National Prestige Sacrificed. Bryan has made false public state ments concerning the attitude of other South American republics on the Colom bian question. He is in danger of plac ing himself In tbe position of seeming willingness to sacrifice our National prestige for a petty and temporary par tisan advantage. The provision of the treaty permit ting free passage through the canal of Columbian war material and to the citizens and merchandise of Colombia is one of the most amazing features of the most amazing treaty ever sub mitted to the Senate, and Is a viola tion of the 'most favored nation' clause in our other treaties. Mr. Bryan's contention that the peo ple of Latin America feel aggrieved be cause we refused to permit the Colom bia troops to cross the isthmus for the purpose of engaging In a bloody en counter and closing the lines of transit is not supported by ascertainable facts.
