Owing to the tender regard for ex-President Roosevelt contained in my instruc- tions I failed. The Wilson Administration has taken a broader and more correct view of the entire question and has presented to the American people a Treaty that ought to be heartily approved, because it is just to Colombia and will remove an intolerable situation. Let us see what the Treaty really means. " CHIVALROUS EXPRESSION OF REGRET. " Article First contains a simple expression of regret that anything has distu...rbed the friendship that exist- ed between the two nations for a century. While negotiating for a treaty I made the Colombian author- ities understand that under no circunstances would the United States apologize to any nation for a polit- ical act that was our unwritten law that never had been and never would be broken. In purely informal conversations, and in my unofficial memorandum, I suggested that a chivalrous expression of regret that our friendship had in any way been marred, SUCH AS ANY REAL GENTLEMAN WOULD FREE- LY GRANT TO ANOTHER, might later be em- bodied in the Treaty as a balm for the wounded feel- ings of a once friendly nation which had been humil- iated before the world; whose credit had been destroy- ed in foreign countries, whose borrowing ability had been ignored.
