AND WILL NOT FIGHT.
| The Daily News GiberaD says in an
editorial: ut is little credit to diplo-
macy that the Venezuelan question
| should be so long unsettled. The sue
cessive British administrations have
not been perfectly consistent with
| themselves or with each other. The
most serious aspect of the question is to
| be found in the United States and the
| dispute will need to be managed with
| the greatest tact and temper on both
| sides, especially as there is a similar
difficulty with regard to Trinidad. In
| each case we shall have to consider
public sentiment in the United States
| and to set an example OF moderation
and self-control.'
The Post Conservative says in an
editorial that it expects the United
| States will send a squadron TO Central
American waters but it certainly will
not fight on behalf of Venezuela There
