London, Jan. 13.-The Standard
states authoritively, it claimed, that
preparations are being hurried for.
ward toward publication of all docu-
ments bearing upon the Venezuelan
dispute. In an article which bears
evidence Of being inspired by the gov
eminent, the Standard says: ~,,-,sr,e. .,.s.
Urged by friendly public opi1ion in the
United States to place before the world
as soon as may be the British case as re-!
CARDS the controversy with Venezuela.
the cabinet on Saturday decided to re-
spond to this amicable invitation by pub
fishing the material documents in its pos
session bearing thereon. OF far more in
terest to tho English people than the
problems to be faced IN South Africa or
the relations of this country with any
other power are its relations with the
United States and we gladly take the op-
portunity OF bearing testimony to the mag
unanimous attitude, OF the Americans
toward as at moment when a
community less generous thought appar:
emily that favorable opportunity had
arisen for adopting toward US a tone of
insult, II not of menace. Instead of TAX
ing advantage Of the augmentation Of our
anxieties and the temporary, multiplied

perplexities, but. where they did not actu-
ally offer us their sympathy they have
maintained an honorable, courteous re-
serve. That is conduct worthy Of them,
English government with desire to meet
our kinfolk across the Atlantic in friend
ly spirit.
Lord Salisbury has decided not to wait
for the meeting Of parliament. but will
publish as soon as they can be got ready all
the documents in his possession bearing
upon the disputed boundary between Brit
ish Guiana and Venezuela. As we have
said, the attitude Of the people OF the
United States during the past week has
materially influenced the prime minister's
decision, just as It qufckened the feeling of
friendship entertained by Englishmen for
those who speak their tongue and share
their literature on the other side Of the
ocean. Tho maintenance of friendly rela.
lions with tho United States must always
be a consideration OF the first Importance
for Great Britain. We say this to the
American people with absolute candor
Of deep-seatcd cordially"
