At HAGUE COURT
venezuela's President Objects to
the Submission of the Dispute
, with the Powers to the Inter-
national Tribunal.
WANTS AMERICA TO DECIDE.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2--The condition
which President Castro attached to his
response TO the allies arbitration pro-
posal was in the nature Of an alternative
proposition. Almost from tho beginning
showing an aversion to The Hague trlb-
unal. Castro. while a%ccepting the prtn-
clple of arbitration, asked that the case
be tried by one of the American re-
publics.
AS President Roosevelt already had
declined to act in the capacity OF arbi-
traitor, and as some OF the reasons which
Inspired him in his decllnatlon would
apply with equal force to the chief ex-
ecutive OF any other American State
than the United States, he was obliged
to withhold any Endorsement OF this
proposition Of President Castro. There
fore II may be dismissed from the field
OF possibilities. and unless Castro is
unexpectedly insistent upon his own
plan, the original proposition OF refer
ence to The Hague tribunal will carry.
