to the Venezuelan dispute was presented a.
far back as August last

The schcmburgh line. to which reference
is made in the Times editorial, was run In
1910 by an English commissioner named
Sir Robert Schomburgh. who was sent to
Venezuela for the purpose, but without the
knowledge or concurrence of Venezuela.
The territory included in the se-called
Schomburgh line comprises a great part Of
the territory in dispute between Great
Britain and Venezuela.
An Associated Press dispatch from Lon
don. dated October 10. says:
The representative Of the Associated
Press in this city has obtained from the
best source the following statement as to
the state Of the Venezuelan question:
The United States ambassador, the Hon.
Thomas F. Bayard. presented q long note
to the Marquis of Salisbury on the ven-
ezuelan question some weeks ago, stating
at length the views of the United States
government and the rules and policy by
which they guided such questions arising
between an European government and an
American republic.
Up to the present no reply has been given.
and since 1t advances a doctrine of such
great Importance and wide application, the
matter will engage the serious attention Of
the British government for some time.
