NEGOTIATIONS HALT.
Demand of Preferential Treatmel
 by Allies the Cause.

Demand of Preferential Treatment
 by Allies the Cause.
 WASHINGTON Jan. 30. There is. that approaches perilously near a break, and the end is not yet in sight. It all grows out of the attitude of the allies in insisting upon preferential treatment for themselves in the settle ment of their claims.
 AS foreshadowed in the London dis patches MT. Bowen has been informed of the decision of the allies to insist upon adhering to this claim, and he has come to a stand in his work for mo- ment
 A MT. Bowen is believed to have taken steps to acquaint President Castro with the demands of the allies, sure sign that these demands exceed, in spirit at least, the concessions that MT. Bowen expected to make. Possibly fresh and enlarged powers will be necessary to enable him to meet the demands.
 Two courses are now open to MT Bowen, and it will probably be for President Castro to elect which he shall follow He may in his response to the claimant nations other than the allies take the opportunity to inform the world that Venezuela yields to overpowering force and that if she can not meet their claims they must reckon with the allies themselves.
 The other course is for MT. Bowen to declare that his mission has failed, that he cannot come to reasonable under standing with the allies because of their uncompromising attitude, and therefore the case must go to The Hague tribunal for adjustment.
 Venezuela's plight at this moment lies in the fact that she is between two fires. The allies demand preference, while France and other creditors look to Venezuela for fair treatment, point ing out that to discriminate against their claims, when their attitude had been correct and even magnanimous, would not be just.
