WILL RAISE BLOCKADE
This Is to Be Done After Protocol
Has Been Signed.
DONE IN A FEW DAYS
Emphasis Continues to BE Laid Upon
the Contention That the Allies
Desire Separate, Not Pref.
erentiai Treatment.

London, Feb. Tt Is officially stat
ed here that the allies offer to sub
NIT the method of treatment of their
claims to arbitration is a concession
which should facilitate rather than de
lay a speedy settlement of the Vene
zuelan affair. The allies will raise the
blockade as soon as the protocol EN-.
bodying the arbitration agreement is
signed and not await the decision of
The Hague court of arbitration or that
of President Roosevelt
At the German embassy it is stated
the blockade should be raised within
a few days. Emphasis continues to be
laid on the contention that the point
the allies now agree to arbitrate is not
preferential but separate treatment of
their claims. In the event Of Presi
dent Roosevelt declining to arbitrate,
which seems to be anticipated, the al
lies are willing to Immediately pre-
pare their case for The Hague court
OF arbitration. the outlines of which
would be embodied in the protocol
with Venezuela and upon Minister
Bowen paying the cash promised, the
protocol would be signed and the
blockade would end.
These statements are all made on
the proviso that the previous arrange.
ments between Mr.. Bowen and the rep.
sentatlves Of the allies hold good and
that no new complications arise, such
as further demands on the part OF
Venezuela. So far as known here the
only question at issue is that of treat
ing the German, British and Italian
claims separately from those Of the
other powers, and the allies are now
willing to leave it to The Hague court
OF arbitration or to Mr.. Roosevelt
whether they are all to share in the
80 per cent OF the customs or whether
the other powers are to receive addi-
tionai proportions. It is asserted that
Mr. Bowen has made explanations to
Ambassador Herbert which have re-
moved the friction in that quarter, and
1t is just possible that recourse toll
either The Hague court or to Mr..
Roosevelt may be avoided even at the
last moment by the representatives OF
the allies coming to an understanding
with Mr. Bowen himself in regard to
the separate treatment of their claims.
II is understood that instructions to
this end have been reiterated from
Berlin and London with the hope OF
facilitating the procedure.
