mrnting upon the Venezuelan arhitra-
ticn treaty. says 1t welcomes the agree
ment, because it releases the United
States from Il false and dangerous posi-
ton. If the commission had reported
adversely to Great Britain, the paper
adds. President Cleveland would have
been forced to attempt to COerce Great
Britain or eat humble pie, with the re-
suit that if the Washington govern
ment mad seen fit to enter the UNEQUAL
contest with England the development
OF the United States would have been
retarded for half century. The Globe
also says: 1T must be clearly under
stood that the legislation of the new ar
Ditration tribunal is not to establish
Il precedent for arranging all further
disputes between the United States and
the United Kingdom in North and
South America, nor to recognize Mon
roeism as International law"
The st. James Gazette asks whether
the agreement will not throw into arbi-
tration all Of the region between the

bitration, which course the United
States have declared England would
be forced to take. III it does" says the
Gaz tie, "the American claim that the
agreement is a square back down on
the part of Great Britain, it is difficult
to disprove.'
The officials of the foreign Office take
exceptions to the statements which
have been mad that Venezuela vii!

tration tribunal. The foreign office
authorities suggest that there is still
doubt whether Venezuela will have her
own member Of the tribunal. At any
rate. Great Britain regards the United

Venezuela.
