In administration and diplomatic

is regarded as a victory for Minister
Bowen, as Venezuela thereby is en-
abled to recover from the distressing
effect of the blockade before start
ing upon the payment of her debts.
The cumbersome machinery of The
Hague, it is expected, will delay mat
ters considerably and the payment OF
creditor nations cannot begin until
the important question of priority
payment for the allies is decided.
The finding of The Hague tribunal
may not be handed down for some
months.
The tribunal also will decide the
vital question to South American
states as to whether blockades and
bombardments entitle powers to
preferential treatment at the hands
of their debtor.

Means End of blockade.

Protocols with each of the allied pow
ers will be drawn up and signed, and
unless further complications arise the
blockade will soon be raised. These
protocols will cover all points con-
tanned in the proposals made by Mr..
Bowen, and the immediate success or
failure of the negotiations will depend
on whether the allied powers incorpo-
rate in them new conditions which can
not be accepted by Minister Bowen on
behalf of Venezuela.
In addition to the terms offered to
the allied powers, the protocols will
contain all the details relating to the
division of the customs receipts and
the administrator features in connec-
tion with their collection and distribu-
ton.
