Washington, Nov. 25.-The State
Department is thoroughly weii-in-
formed of the length to which Great
Britain, Germany, and other Euro
pean powers propose to go in their
dealings with Venezuela. Great
Britain and Germany have, in fact,
sounded the department to learn
whether any objections would be
made to active measures on their
part to secure the collection of debts
due their citizens on account of vlo-
lated concessions and the destruction
of their property incident to the in
ternal dissensions which have ragged
in Venezuela for several years past.
The department has been extremely
cautious in dealing with these in
ouiries, but the substance of its re-
plies ih all cases has been set out in
the declaration of President Roose-
velt that the United States did not
construe the Monroe Doctrine to
mean that it should shelter any OF
the American republics against the
results of their own misdeeds or vio-
Iations of international amenity. The
only condition made by the Presl-
dent was that the punishment in
ficted upon any of these South and
Central American Republics by a
European power must not include
the seizure by that power of any
American soil.
