Killed in an Encounter at
OrmOc, West Leyte.

together the other creditor nations
having claims against Venezuela with
view to their making formal pro-
test against the demands of those
who participated in the blockade. The
effect of this would be that the other
seven creditor nations would be lined
up against the three allied powers,
with the result that the settlement of
the whole matter in all probability
might go to The Hague, if it is to be
settled at all. This note is believed to
be having it's effect in staying the
final determination of the question by
the allied governments.

1T KEEPS BOWEN GUESSING.
He Is, However. Giving the Allies Some
thing to Think Over.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The Euro
pean allies have not yet answered
Minister Bowen's proposition, made
several days ago, that there shall be
no preference of claims of Great Brit
ain, Germany and Italy against Vene-
zuela over those of other nations
against the South American country.
Minister Bowen thinks the delay
should be construed in a hopeful light,
on the ground that the delay in the
answer of the powers indicates that
they realize the Importance of his po-
sition in the matter and are giving
the subject careful consideration
1t became known Friday that Mr..
Bowen had addressed to the represen-
tatives of the allies what in a measure
might be regarded as an ultimatum,
as defining his position. Mr.. Bowen
declines absolutely to discuss the
question, but it is known that he said

The Feeling in France Over the Lat

Situation.
HAS SOME EQUITIES IN THE MATTER.
Should the Allies Idea Prevail
Premium Would be offered for
WarIike Demonstration in Pref
erence to Peaceful Negotiation In
Disputes.

Paris. Jan. 31.-The foreign office
here received. Friday, lengthy o11lclal
advices giving details of the rejection
by the allies of the proposal that
France and other countries receive
equal treatment in the Venezuelan
settlement The French officials hao
not doubted that equal treatment
would be recognized, and this uneX-
pected turn of events has caused
much surprise and concern. For the
present it does not appear to be the
purpose of the French authorities to
assume an imperative position, but
rather set forth what they regard as
the manifest equities of the French
position with the view to induce lts
further consideration and acceptance
After conferring with those IN au-
thority an official said that the
French position is based on two es-
sential principles: The first is that a
pacific settlement between two SOW
ereign nations is entitled at least to
equal treatment with war settle
ment. If not, a precedent would be
established. the officials say, which
would be an incentive to war, as
countries first adopting force in the
collection of claims would have SUI
perior rights to those observing the
usual pacific means of settlement.
The view is strongly held here that
the United States, France and Bel
gium are, in effect, pacific allies, as
they did not resort to force against
Venezuela. 1t is insisted that the
present attitude of the allies tended
not only to prejudice the rights of
the pacific allies, but also establishes
the dangerous principle that a resort
to war is preferable to efforts to
maintain peace.
The second principle Of the French
position is that the, French Nenezue-
Ian settlement is in the form of
treaty which entities it to interna-
tional recognition. This was formal
ly executed prior to the adoption of
force by the allies, and while Nene-
zuela retained full independence in
the exercise of her sovereign right
to make a treaty. Therefore it is
maintained that this antedates rights
not insisted, however, that this prior
treaty settlement entities France to
priority in the division cf the Gus
toms receipts, as the officials hold
that all the powers having claims
should receive equal treatment. 1t
was at first supposed that Great Brit
ain. Germany and Italy favored this
view. and that the opposition came
from the personal attitude of their
representatives. But the latest adj
vices indicate the sympathetic atti-
tude of the British ambassador at
Washington, Sir Michael Herbert, the
German charge, Count Quadt, and the
italian ambassador, Signor Des
Planchez, who are restricted by their
instructions. Full recognition is Civ
en- of the evident fairness Of Minister
Bowen. The subject is receiving care
full consideration.

THE TAX ON oLEoMARcARINE


1t appears that substantial basis
has been found for the internal revenue
tax on oleomargarine dealers of $4S a
year for those handling the colored ar
ticle and Sc year for those who sell
the uncolored. Large dealers in the
latter article are now happy, because
buyers are accepting the uncolored
oleo IN great quantities, and it is CLAM
ed that the unjustifable special tax has
operated as compulsory education of
the producers and the masses of the
people in regard to the excellence of
uncolored cleo, but it is safe to assume
that the true reason is the venerable
commercial one of seeking to eyade as
far as possible tax. By selling I'M
colored oleo the lesser license of So is
sufficient, and if the buyer can have
his taste trained to accept it, all is well.
The tax on oleo was not laid by Con-
gress as war tax, for it was not re-
moved when all vestiges of war taxa
ton were obliterated except the tax on
tea, which yanishes this week.
With much truth the Pittsburg Post
says:
sit was not levied as a protective
measure, for laws against swindling
in food is matter of State police regu-
lation. It was one of that series of
bills enacted at intervals to cajoIe the
farming community and maintain the
pristine superiority of COW butter. 1t
was on a par with that craftsmanship
of Congressman from Ohio who
amended bill providing for 10 by
draul1c rams for use on a government
dam to make the number 100 hydraulic
rams to encourage agriculture The
core of the cleo matter is that dealers
who sell as butter something that is
not butter should be punished, or even
when selling colored oleo furnish a
kind with deleterious coloring matter
But why national tax should be laid
on the sale of what buyer asks for
and gets If past comprehension.
"Uncolored oleo is better than bad
butter. Eating oleo is truly matter
of taste. Tomatoes were thought pois-
enous for years. Crinoline would be
considered hideous now. But in dress
and food, taste is acquired by practice
And the national government has moth
ing to do with individual whims unless
it needs the revenue.
