A LESSON WELL LEARNED.
venezuels Wants Reciprocity with the
United States.


WASHINGTON, Dec. Sit is said that
one of the purposes of the present visit
to Washington Of the United States
minister to Venezuela, Mr.. LOOMS, is
to start negotiations for a reciprocity
treaty between Venezuela and the
United States. This is rather an un-
expected step. as Venezuela was one
OF the few South American countries
which did not make a reciprocity treaty
under the former system. At this
time, however, Venezuela suffered by
having her coffee practically excluded
from the United States because Brazil
and other coffee-producing countries
had the reduced duties under the reci-
procity treaties. This experience make
Venezuela one OF the first southern re-
publics to consider the question of a
reciprocity treaty under the Dingley
law.
