The article presents information on practical politics. There is no use in mincing matters in discussing U.S. President Thomas Woodrow Wilson's annual message. The treaty with Colombia should be ratified and that long-standing occasion of international irritation and misunderstanding removed. The attempt of a British syndicate to buy the fleet of International Mercantile Marine Co. aggregating some 730,000 tons, the refusal of the U.S. government to sanction the transfer and the subsequent offer of the government itself to buy ships at the price offered by the syndicate, bring sharply to the front a highly important question to which a prompt answer ought to be forthcoming.
