Venezuelan policy. Ambassador Bay
ard held that the Monroe doctrine did
not apply 70 the Venezuelan boundary
dispute. and that Secretary Olney's at
temps 20 give IL that application was an
untenable position.
This view of Ambassador Bayard
WAS communicated 10 this government
in his dispatch numbered so4.
That dispatch was not communicat-
ed 10 congress or TO any member Of the
foreign committee OF the house or SEN

Up 20 the present time Secretary Oh
ney has believed that only three people

the first place why Lord Salisbury's
reply 10 Secretary Olney's note Was al

Zuelsn boundary dispute came within
