COURSE OF MINISTER LOOMS.
He Has Acted According to Precise
Instruction..

Regarding the reports coming indirectly
from Venezuela to the effect that United
States Minister Loomis is being perse-
cuted with deliberate purpose to find a
basis for giving him mis- passports, it Is
said here in official circles that it will not
be possible for any such scheme to sue
ceed, conceding that such a purpose is en-
tertained
1t Is further stated that Mr.. Loomis has
at every phase of the asphalt controversy
and of the rebellious movement in Ven-
ezuela acted according to precise instruc-
tionS from the Department of State. There
fore it is not conceivable to the officials
that the Venezuelans should find any pre-
text whatever to Justify the making of an
issue personal to Mr.. Loomis.
In other words, if they are dissatisfied
with his course, then their resentment
should be DETECTED against the United
States government. of which he was SIM
ply the instrument, and almost without
voice of his own.
Under these conditions the officials do
not give credence to the report that Vene-
zuela is ready to adopt a course which
would certainly lead to the gravest COM
plications, for there is no doubt whatever
that the State Department will stand
squarely behind it's minister in this matter.
