President Roosevelt Not Asked to
Arbitrate Venezuelan Affair.
THEY ARE TAKING "soUNDINes"

Mr.. Roosevelt is Emphatic in His
Judgment That the Controversy
Should be Referred to The Hague
Tribunal-May Accept if They Insist
Washington. Dec. %. = President
Roosevelt has not accepted the position
of arbitrator of the Venezuelan contro-
versy. In fact he has not received, for
mally or officially, a request from the
European powers that he act as arbi-
traitor of the dispute. These statements
are made on the highest authority.
In an informal manner the president
has been notified that the European
powers intimately concerned in the
present South American difficulty de-
sire that he should undertake the re-
sponsibility Of acting as arbitrator OF
the points at issue between them and
Venezuela. Thus far they merely have
been taking "soundings," with view
probably of ascertaining how he would
receive a formal proffer to act as arbi-
traitor. The president, so soon as he re-
ceived the first intimatiOn that he was
desired as arbitrator of the Venezuelan
controversy expressed emphatically his
Judgment that the matters to be arb1-
trated should be referred to The Hague
tribunal. His view of the suggestions
made has been conveyed to the Euro
pean powers, together with a strong
presentation of his reasons for the
view he holds. No response OF a for
NAL nature to these representations
has been received.
The president and Secretary Hay haC
a long conference yesterday, after the
formers return from his Virginia trip
They carefully went over the situation
as it had developed since Saturday bu
it is understood that nothing has arisel
to warrant the president in changini
his opinion as to the undesirability o
his acceptance of the position Of arbi
traitor. So far as can be learned, n
specific reasons have been advance
by the European powers for ob1ectln
to a reference of the Venezuelan ques
tions to the arbitration of The Hagu
tribunal. It is held by the administra
ton that the tribunal at The Hagu
was constituted to arbitrate just sue
controversies as that which has arise
between Venezuela and the powers an
that it would be desirable from ever
point of view that the present disput
should go to that tribunal for adjud
cation. How strong the objections a.
which Great Britain, Germany al
Italy may have to a reference Of Il
Venezuelan difficulty to The Hagl
tribunal is not known to the admi
istration at this time Even the n
ture of the objections if any there
is not known. The negotiations loo
ing to the selection of an arbitrat
have not progressed sufficiently yet
develop such objections as the powt
may have.

Washington, Aug. 29.-For the first

cereal crop unprecedented for volume
must be moved. There fisra sthreatepti

prevented.
Secretary Shaw will Seek to IN
crease the circulation Of national
banks as the first remedy to obviate
stringency in the money market. Ma
tional banks have an aggregate cap
ital of $700,000,000, but their circula-
ton is but 100000. Secretary
Shaw invited a number of leading
banks to increase their circulation
and he claims to have received fav-
orable responses to this suggestion.
All arrangements have been made to
issue notes to be put out by these
banks as additional circulation. but
this will not be done except in the
event of necessity caused by strfn-
gency.
1t is entirely optional with the
banks whether they increase their cir
culation or not. Each bank must de-
posit government bonds to cover the
amount of proposed increases. 1t is
difficult to obtain bonds for such de-
posit and for this reason 1t is be-
lieved the experiment of Secretary
Shaw in this direction must be limit
