FRANCE Is DISTURBED
BY ALLIES OPPOSITION
TO EQUAL TREATMENT.

Paris. Jan. 30.@The Foreign Office here
| received to-day lengthy official advices Civ
ing details OF the rejection by the allies Of
the proposal that France and other coun-
tries receive equal treatment in the vene-
zuelan settlement.
The French officials have not doubted that
equal treatment would be recognized. and
this unexpected turn Of events has caused
much surprise and concern.
For the present 1t does not appear to b
the purpose OF the French authorities to as
sumo an imperative position, but rather SET
forth what they regard As the manifest
equities of tho French position with the
view to induce its further consideration and
acceptance.
After comforting with those In authority
an official said that the French position is
based on two essential principles.
The first is that a pacific settlement be-
tween two sovereign nations Is entitled at
least to equal treatment with a war settle
ment. II not. a precedent would pe estab-
lished. the officials say, which would be an
incentive to war. as countries first adopting
force In the collection Of claims would have
superior rights to those observing the
usual pacific means Of settlement.
PACIFIC ALLIES.
The view is strongly held here that the
United States, France and Belgium are, In
effect, pacific allies, as they did not resort
to force against Venezuela. 1t is insisted
that the present attitude Of the allies tend
ed not only to prejudice the rights Of the
pacific allies, but, also. establishes the dam
gerous principle that a resort to war II
preferable to efforts to maintain peace.
The second principle of the French posi-
ton Is that the French Venezuelan settle
ment Is in the form of q treaty which en-
titles 1t to international recognition. This
was formally executed prior to the adoption
of force by the allies. and while Venezuela
retained full independence in the exercise
of her sovereign right to make treaty.
Therefore, it is maintained that this ante
dates rights arising from a resort to force.
treaty settlement entities France to prior
ity in the division Of the customs receipts.
as the officials hold that all the Powers
having claims, should receive equal treat
ment.
SOURCE OF OPPOSITION.
It was at first supposed that Great Brit
ain. Germany and Italy favored this view,
and that the opposition came from the per-
sonal attitude Of their representatives. But
the latest advices indicate the sympathetic
attitude OF the British Ambassador at Wash
ington. Sir Michael Herbert, the German
charge Count Quadt. and the italian Am.
bassador, Sig. Dea Plenches. who are re-
stricted by their instructions.
Full recognition Is given Of the evident
fairness of Minister Bowen.
The position of the French ofhcials in re-
gard to the claims Of the Powers Is one Of
dignified firmness but there Is no sugges-
ton Of a threat or Of the possibility Of Serf-
GUS eventualittes.

not led astray by strange doctrines,
nor by Anticipated tales, which are I'M
profitable For if we yet live according
to Judaism, it is equivalent to declar-
ing that we have not accepted grace;
for the most holy prophets lived &C
cording to Jesus Christ. And for that
cause they were prosecuted, being in
spired by the grace of Christ, that the
unbelieving might be convinced that
there is one God who hath manifested
himself by his Son Jesus Christ, who is
his eternal Word
We might quote four to the same
purpose, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus.
Athenagoras, Tertullian and others.
But we will conclude this point by
quoting, from ST. Cyprian, who lived
within the time specified by Rev. Mr..
Savage Arguing against heretical
baptisms he asks how the subject OF
such baptism can become the temple
of God? And says: IF he be thereby
made the temple of God, 1 would ask of
what divine person is it? Is it of God
the Creator? He could not be so if he
believed not in him. Is it of Christ?
Neither can he be his temple if he de-

ST Augustine, the celebrated bishop
of Hippo $3.50 thus speaks of the writ
ers before and of his time: 'All the
Catholic authors, ancient and modern,
that 1 have been able to read, and who
before me have written on the Trim
ity, which is God, have intended to
teach according to the scriptures, that
the Father and the Son, and the Holy
Ghost, of one substance, form the di-
vine unity by their inseparable equal
ity and that on that account there are
not three Gods, but one only God;
though the Father who begot the Son,
is other than the Son, and the Son, be-
gotten of the Father, is other than the
Father and the Holy Ghost is neither
the Father nor the Son, but only the
Spirit of the Father and the Son, being
him e co-equal with the Father and

the Trinity. This is my faith, because
1t is the Catholic faith
Augustine had access to many writ
ings that are now no longer extant, and
he knew, from those that are extant
what the, to him even, ancient writers
meant to teach. He cannot be rejected
