The Asphalt Trust now wants the Al
ministration to force Venezuela to an in
ternational arbitration of its claims to
the Warner Quinlan concession in Lake
Felicidad. The trouble is that the Gov
eminent has already committed itself to
insisting merely that they should be regu-
larly adjudicated in the Venezuelan
courts, and the Caracas Government has
promptly acceded to the demand, never
having put a straw in the way of that So
luton from the beginning. But, if appear
ances go for anything, the trust does not
want adjudication. What it wants is the
Warner Quinlan concession. To secure
that it nearly induced the Administration

the United States, and now, we suppose,
arbitration is the next best thing. There

one of the arbitrators, and the others may
not be deaf to the reasoning which trusts
