Venezuela Attempts to Enforce
New Law Requiring Foreign
ers to Waive Rights
CONTRARY TO THE TREATIES
Foreigners Refuse to Sign Waiver of
Rights to Recover Damages For
Robbery or PilIage Perpetrated by
Troops-internationaIc Complications
Are Threatened

Willemstadt, May 23.-The president
of the state of Maracaibo. Venezuela.
and governor of Caracas have tried 10
enforce the new law against foreigners
obliging them to recognize only Vene-
zuelan tribunals, for adjustment OF their
claims, and compelling them to waive
their rights to claim damages for rob-
berry or pillage perpetrated by the GOV
ernment or revolutionary troops, and
enforcing other vexatious measures un-
der the penalty of immediate expulsion.
These measures were enforced against
British, German, Italian, Dutch. Span
ish and French citizens. When their
respective legislations learned of the
fact. they sent orders to consuls not 10
comply with the demands of the local
authorities, as the new law was con-
trary to existing treaties. The minis
ters of the powers also called on Senor
Urbaneja, minister of foreign affairs,
and protested against the action taken.
Urbaneja promised that an order would
be issued to suspend the enforcement
of the new law. United States citizens
were not molested. If the law is en-
forced. later complications with the
powers will arise and 1t is believed that
more than 10000 of 10000 foreigners
actually residing in Venezuela VII:
leave the country.
