PosaI Of Smaller Nation.

The report current today that Prea-
dent Castro had appealed to this Gov
ernment urgently pleading for interven-
tion and aid met with fat denial at
the State Department.
What has happened is that Minister
Bowen again urged upon the State De-
partment the Importance Of securing an
immediate reply from Great Britain and
Germany to President Castro's PROPOSAL
that the claims be submitted to arbi-
tration.
Powers Must Answer.
The State Department has requested
Germany and England to make answer
as soon as possible. but no reply has
yet been received. This Government has
given positive notice to both nations
that il VIII not recognize any extension
Of the conduct OF a pacific blockade as
az present understood by international
law. thus leaving the way open for the
United states to protest against any an
plication OF the blockade to American
vessels entering Venezuelan ports.
Il was learned from an authoritative
source that any interference with Amer
lean vessels viii be at once objected 10
BY the United States Government. as it
has never recognized the right Of a coun-
try establishing a blockade to interfere
with neutral shipping.
To Respect Doctrine.
In view Of the positive assurances Of
Germany and Great Britain that the
Monroe Doctrine will be absolutely re-
spected, no additional representation in
regard 70 the aggressive action OF the
allies Is at present contemplated. but it is
determined TO stand firmly BY our dec
laration that we will not recognize anv
extension OF the principles Of a pacific
blockade.
