A DANGER THAT SHOULD BE NET.
VENEZUELA MAY MAKE SOME ATTACK THAT WILL.

DANGER THAT SHOULD BE MET.
VENEZUELA MAY MAKE SOME ATTACK THAT WILL
JUSTIFY ENGLISH RESENTMENT
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: Was England known definitely to settle
the question of q boundary line with weaker
country? Does any one suppose she wishes to do 1t
in the present case? The Commission about to be
appointed will consume at least two months In ar
irving at a decision. During this time one of the
most excable nations on the globe Will be under
the belief that will protect them against Eng
land Does any one believe that Venezuela too un-
easy be without revolution for two consecutive
years will not make some attack on English inter-
ests that England can properly resent and claim
indemnity for without its coming under the Monroe
Doctrine as construed by our Administration In the
last affair?
England will sec 10 il she does make such attack.
Then the result. With England in Caracas. hold
ing the country by claims of indemnity with too
much apparent business in these claims for us to
interfere. shall lose the respect and friendship of
every South American republic
Let Mr.. Cleveland inform, England that any act
against Venezuela during the investigation by this
Commission will be declaration of war against us
Let him inform Venezuela that the least action OF
theirs against England forfeits assistance and
he will have done all in his power to avert the IN
fortunate consequences of trying to enforce half
hearted policy
trade of South American nations we must make
their quarres with European nations ours in every
way or else let them entlrely alone. a nttle
patience and steady pressure on EnSland's part Will
change the cause of complaint against Venezuela
The frontier will not be settled, but some future
President will have chance to protest against its
being drawn along the Orinoco. to the bcttering OF
his chances for another election ana greater loss to
Venezuela
In a republic with It's government changing every
four years such thing as the Monroe Doctrine
will not be construed continually the same. Let
state the world that the doctrine means alb
solute protection TO every country near the canal
and that there shall be no occupation of any part Of
these countries for any purpose, else
interests cease al Mexico. FARMER.

AN EXTENSION OF THE MONROE DOCTRINE
