1t, and the President was compelled
to redeem his implied pledge.
There are rumors at Washington that
the decision Of the President to act
as arbitrator is against the strongly
expressed opinions Of his secretary OF
state, John Hay.
The anxiety which is felt arises
from the belief that by the President
assuming to act as arbitrator he Will
be forced to provide means of exc
cutting his own decree. This in turn
would seem to involve coercive action
on the part Of the United States. In
other words, IT is felt that Venezuela
has no resources at all now except its
customs revenues. They must be
seized by some one and divided into
shares, part going to supply the hun.

remainder being distributed among the
European money lenders.
President Roosevelt desired to have
the whole dispute submitted to Tho
Hague tribunal, and it is said he would
have been successful in this except
for two things, One was that The
Hague tribunal could reach merely a
finding of facts, and some way of COL
lecting the claim would still have to
be adopted. The other difficulty lay in
the fact that both Great Britain and
Germany laid great stress upon GER
tain alleged diplomatic Insults which
constitute an offenae against the dig
nifty of nations, not entirely within the
Jurisdiction of The Hague court.
President Castro, 1t Is understood,
has communicated his belief through
Minister Bowen that The Hague court,
being essentially European tribunal
dominated by the great powers, 1t
could not be expected to give fair
hearing to the case Of little South
American republic afflicted with
chronic case of revolutions. In fact, 1t
is intlmated that President Castro has
declared he would not accept any 9th.

the United States.
