Propositions Sent to United States Officials on Isthmus Policy
Bogota cables Dr. Luce Rico, foreign minister, reports to General Reyes in Washington. The note argues the 1846 treaty did not grant U S control over transit but obligated protections for neutrality and sovereignty of the isthmus, and contends U S actions in Colombia’s internal affairs reflect this duty and only intervene under Colombia’s request or to protect traffic. It also asserts U S has not protected Colombia from foreign invasion except in this instance to aid secessionists on the isthmus.
