The Secretary Of State and Foreign Re-
lahons to the Signor lntendant OF the De-
partment of Venezuela, General Charles
Soublette--
/ have informed His Excellency, the
Vice President of the Republic, of the.
contents OF your official letter of 22d OF
last December, as also OF the Two oocu-
ments that accompany IT, relative 70 Mr.
Robert Lowry.
The first is a copy of letter or com
mission of Consul, issued in his favor, IN
Inc capital of Washington, on sthe third
February 1912, AS this document shews
that the government Of the United States
at that time absolutely disowns The nation-
al character OF Venezuela, it is not to be
supposed that the executive would then
have granted the acting powers to SAID
nomination.
Mr.. Lowry has,been notified in it sim
ply 10 the authorities ofCaraccas, as Ame-
rican Consul for the port of La Guayra,
whether or not they might be independent
of Spain. In this last case 1t is well known
that the colonial laws of that nation, do
not permit foreign consuls to reside in any
of our yports. If these restrictions have
ceased, by the change that has takenplace
in our political situation. and IT the valor
and virtues Of the Coloinbians have exclu-
sively opened our coasts to foreign COM
merce Ill does not appear that by so doing
we have made ourselves unworthy OF a d.
rect understanding between our govern
ment and the governments OF other nations,
on matters Of this nature Accordingly
His -Excelency, the Vice President, Can
not resolve TO grant the acting power that
is solicited until the nomination Of Mr..
Lowry comes in due form and through its
regular channel. The Signor John GUM
cy Adams, Secretary OF State, appears 10
have foreseen this difficulty, when, instead
of renewing that commission or leaving it
as i: was. he, on the 18th October, 1921,
lessened Mr.. Lowry's power in La Quay.
"a. to mere commercial and mariners
| Agent. The establishment of the Repub-
| lie of Colombia, and the date of our first
| fundamental law, were officially made
known in Washington, by Mr.. Torres our
| Charge de Affairs, in order that il might
| be understood that commission OF Cor
| sui directed 10 the authorities of Caracas,
| in an indirect and unusual way, could be
| of no value & effect amongst US. Mr.. Low
ry can accordingly exercise the CONNER
cial and seataring agency in La Guayra ,as
far as relates to the citizens, and CONNER
cial and seafaring subjects of the United
States, who may arrive a, that port. To
these persons the certificate OF Mr.. Adams
is directed, so that you may restore It 20
The person Interested, that he may make
use OF in the manner be may be entitled
to, assuring him that in defect OF treaties
or written obligations, the citizens and
subjects of the United States, will always
have friendly asylum, and all necessary
protection, as long as they may respect
our laws, and our municipal regulations.
This you can also assure to the subjects OF
the European nations, who might come to
our country with merca ntile views, or With
any other intentions, granting to them IL
| berally the favours which the article tS3
OF our contitution generously entities them
| to.
God preserve your life many years.
