BRIrAINs SEPARATE ANSWER
wo.b,nq,on. Jan. 6.~-Secy. Hay
has received the British answer 10
President Castro's last proposition rel
alive to arbitration nn.. .o.o
'T !, Il assumed that the British note
,aeeets the Views Of the German gov
srrment as the allies have been acting
n harmony so far, The note Is m
ierloeutory but in substance states
hat II Venezuela wishes a conference
WITH view to submitting the diner
ences between the two countries to ar
bltratIon Great Britain VIII accede'
Tbe conditions attached vary slightly
from the original proposition but IN
he Judgment OF officials here the dif-
isra1ces between the allies and Vene-
msla in respect to arbitration are
much diminished and there Is warrant
Ion Inc expectation that the case viii
now surely 90 TO The Hague. Inc
next step viii be a reply from Presi-
dent Castro.
Later in the day a separate response
10 President Castros last proposal
came from Germany, In many respects
Il was similar TO that from Great Brit
ain and, like that, II named certain
considerations upon which an under
standing win have to be reached
before the case is submitted to arbitra-
ton. Germanys answer, like that OF
Great Britain. has been sent to Presi-
dent Castro through the intermediary
Of United States Minister Bowen at
Caracas. II the latter conditions sug-
gested By the two allies are accepted
by Castro, and the hope among officials
here is that they may be, 1t Is expect
ed that meeting viii be held In Wash
ngton between Minister Bowen, repre-
sentlng the government Of Venezuela,
and the ambassadors Of Great Britain,
Germany and other of the allies 10 pre-
pare a basis on which the arbitration
Of the Issues shall proceed.
