IGNORED THE CALv0 DOCTRINE.
Don M. Dickinson Says It Is Utterly I'm
tenable

Detroit Dec. 23.-Ex-Postmaster General Don
NJ Dickinson, of this city. one Of the ar
bitration commission appointed to decide the
Salvador case referred to in Washington dis
patches on the Venezuelan situation. Mr. Dick
insons opinion on the points of International law
involved in the Salvador case had great weight
in the decision. Mr.. Dickinson said tonight:
Calvo was a native OF either Venezuela or
Brazil, and he laid down the doctrine that for
eign nations have no right to interfere in behalf
Of any of their subjects in obtaining justice.
This doctrie, either through diplomatic arrange
ment other agreement, was adopted by all OF
the Latin American countries OF South and
Central America.
In our decision of the Salvador case Sir Henry
Strong and myself refused absolutely to recog-
nize the Calvo Doctrine. The position taken
under this idea is entirely erroneous If SOW
vdual and a controversy arises between them
a. TO the terms of the contract it is ridiculous
TO assume that the sovereign State-one of the
parties to the contract-has the right to sit as a
court and decide quarrel in which ii is itself a
party.
That doctrine will have to be abandoned by
all the countries that have taken il UP, as all
foreign nations will insist the right TO inter-
vene in behalf of their subjects. Since our de-
dent Diaz Of Mexico. of the most bic
executive officials in any Latin American coun-
try has decided case involving S2O000o0 In
his decision he ignored the Calvo Doctrine.
President Diazs position is very important
precedent. and expect that the belief of Latin
Americans that they uphold the principle OF
intervention will not last very long.

London, Dec. 23.-Speaking at Dunfermline to-

writings and foul gIbes. had fomented discord
between Great Britain and Germany
He said the War Office had done well in such
cases where its instructions had been timely
These instructions, however, were often wrong
and sometimes they were not given. The
speaker said he regarded with misgivings GER
tain enterprises being conducted in different
parts of the world.
Sir Henry strongly emphasized the importance
of preserving the goodwill of the United States.
He said it would require a case of the first

FRANCE FOR ARBITRATION.

Paris Dec. 23.-The Foreign Office has re-
ceived President Castro's acceptance Of the con-
ditions Of the French note The President says
that France will receive equal treatment with
the other powers in the settlement and payment
of claims. The purpose OF the French negotia-
ton was, previously pointed out, to safe
guard French claims against being subordinated
to those of the powers which are adopting for
chile means for their collection. 1t is expected
here that the United States and other powers
which are not resorting to force Will receive
q similar assurance to that given TO France.
The official view here favors. first. arbitra-
ton; second, the appointment of interna-
tonal commission TO execute the decision of the
arbitrator, similar TO the commissions appointed
in the cases of Egypt and Greece In case the
commission is appointed il is probable that the
French claims, which 1t had been decided to
submit TO arbitration. will be included in those
TO be considered by the commission.
