WHY SECRECY WAS NECESSARY
Too Many Have Claims Against the Lend
ing South American Republic.


Secrecy was regarded to he impera-
tive in view of President Castro's be-
lief that if it had been known that
Venezuela contemplated a new finan-
cial system he would have been in
undated with claims of every descrip-
ton and the dealings with the bond
holders would have presented many
more difficulties.
The details of the plan which will
be communicated to the state depart
ment are carefully guarded, but the
Associated Press is in a position to an
nOunce that the main feature is uni
fication of all the outstanding govern
ment debts and government guaranteed
loans upon a basis of security much
greater than has been hitherto offered.
1t is strenuously denied that the pres
ent movment is due to any desire on
the part of Venezuela to ''spar for
time" with Great Britain and Ger
many, and in proof of this it is pointed
out that the secret mission left Ven
ezuela before her relations with Great
Britain and Germany had assumed the
present acute aspect.
Should the United States govern
ment give its moral support the plan
will be submitted to United States

London, Nov. 29.-The Associated

taken in London yesterday with view
to satisfying all the financial and dip
lomatic claims by foreign powers and

day, but pending the result of the di-
rect representations at Washington no
action will be taken by the embassy
toward suggesting that Venezuela be
given time TO submit her proposals.
The new development in the crisis
which is regarded as hourly growing
more serious is due to the arrival in
