WOULD BE NO QUARREL IF
VENEZUELA WOULD PAY UP
Lord Lansdowne Speaks of the Trou-
bic at a Banquet,

+ London, Dec 12.-FOreign Secretary
Lansdowne was the principal guest at
the annual banquet Of the United club,
given tonight in London. In a speech
o& considerable length the foreign sec
rotary touched upon the most promi-
nent topics of the day. He said he
did not believe that in any part of the
world was Great Britain open to the
Heharge of bearing inveterate antiptSIny
to any one, not even to Venezuela.
IF that republic" said Lord L4ans-
doWne, would desist from committing
outrages upon British subjects and
British property; if she would pay her
just debts, and if she would reply to
the diplomatic representations made
her in perfectly courteous language,
there would be no need whatever of any
quarrel
Il might add" said the foreign sec
rotary. that Venezuela should be con-
tent to put herself on moderate allow
ance in the matter Of revolutions. In
less7than seventy years Venezuela has
INDUCED in the, luxury Of 104 revolu-
lions. Three revolutions in two years
seems TO be altogether unreasonable.
L am glad TO say that in Venezuelan
waters at this moment German and
British warships and sailors are acting
side by side in enforcing the just de
mands of these two powers
Continuing, Lord Lansdowne said
that in Somaliland the Italian govern
ment was giving Great Britain invalua-
bic facilities in the conduct of opera
tons, and that he hoped soon to dis
pose of the difficulties created by the
Mad Mullah in that part of the world.
Concerning Ireland. the foreign sec
rotary said the condition Of that coun-
try might be regarded today with less
misgiving than at any time for many
years past. Home rule had Teceded
further into the background than at
any time within his recollection.

UNITED STATES WILL
BE LEFT FREE TO ACT
European Powers Have No Intention
of Interfering.

Paris, Dec. IA foreign Office off,
cial made the following statement to-
day to the Associated Press:
No exchange of views has occurred
between the European powers concern
ing the Venezuelan situation. and no
such exchange is intended, as it is def
nitely held that the affair is one in
which the United States should be left
free to take the initiative in media
ton"
This statement was called out by the
suggestion of the Temps that it was
time for Europe to speak in the inter
est Of universal peace. The official
added: 1T is fully recognized here
and at the other capitals that the
United States is the only power in a
position to act as intermediary. Hence
there is no intention on the part of
the European power, to take concerted
or individual action"
The release of the French steamer
Ossun. seized by the Germans at La
Guayra. has not yet been reported TO
the foreign office. but the officials ac-
cept the unofficial reports of her re-
lease. thus relieving the incident of its
gravity.
After an exchange of cable messages
it has been agreed to appoint distin-
guished Spanish jurist as referee in the
F'ranco-Venezuelan arbitration His
name viii not be announced until the
arbitrator assemble at Caracas.

NEITHER POWER WILL
ACCEPT ARBITRATION
President Castro's Request Comes Too
Late.


London. Dec 13.-The Venezuelan
crises is regarded less seriously here
this morning Lord Transformers
speech is held to show that the stu
alton is in no way alarming, and
the opinion is expressed that Presi-
dent Castro's request for arbitration
has come too late. This step on his
part is welcomed as a proof of his
anxiety to withdraw from his posi-
ton.
The morning newspapers express
various opinions as to the arbitration
proposals. but there is a general agree
ment that if. by a guarantee made by
the United States. or other means,
Venezuela could be bound to carry out
an award. no reason exists why Great
Britain should refuse to consent to ar
bitratiOn. It is believed that neither
Great Britain nor Germany is likely
to accept the arbitration proposal.
Statements attributed to the consuls
and other. representatives of Venezuela
in other European cities all betray a
stronger feeling against Germany than
against Great Britain. as well as re-
vent any Anglo-German invasion of
Venezuela.
The Venezuelan consul at Genoa is
credited with the assertion that the
armed Intervention of the United States
would be certain TO follow such in
