VENEZUELA SPEAKS.
England has No Right to the Dis
nutcd Territory.

Los Novedades.
We have received a pamphlet printed
In Caracas and entitled THE Rights OF
venezuela In the Guiana Case" Its
autaor the distinguished writer and
statesman, Don Edward Calcanyo.
gives the Venezuelan side OF this i'm
portant and long-standing controversy
with admirable clearness and precise
ness In the following conclusions which
we copy from the pamphlet,
To sum up:
By EXprers recognition OF Holland Of
Portugal and OF England herself,
formally ratified In the treaties OF
Munster u6iS, Utrecht Q7l8. Madrid
Ql1O and the convention OF AranJuez
tIsD the river Esequibo was fixed as
the line IN Guiana that should divide
the then Spanish now Venezuelan, pos
sessions from the then Holandish, now
English. colonies.
In the suppositlon-only for the sake
or argument-that this was not so. the
concession Of Holland in 1914 in favor
OF England-the only title to the legltl-
macy OF Its claim in the controversy
even that would not transfer rights to
Eng ana beg ond the Esequbo.
Can England have, In Justice. as the
successor of the low counties, any
thing more than the low countries ced-
ed TO her?
And X she does not stand as successor
10 the low countries by what sort OF
iitlc Is she claiming to be mistress of
the greater territory? Have we sold,
coded. pledged or bargained In any
1914?
These titles are the ones that should
be presented to a tribunal Of arbitra-
ton to which we have cited her to sub
init them for years in the presence of
the nations Of the world.
She has not appeared because she had
no title. Instead, she provokes US to
war, which ls her ideal condition.
without war she would not have ac-
1ulred the colonies of Holland which
she compelled Holland to Yield to her
by force. By the pathway OF war she
obtained them,
Without war she would not have ap-
prHprlated Gibraltar, which she COM
pehed spain TO cede to her by force By
the pathway OF war she obtained IL.
without war she would not have pos
