Discreetly Managed.

Minister Bowen, as the representative |
OF Venezuela, accepted by the allies and

through the threatening difficulties with

al advantage in the prompt payment by
Venezuela of the s34O, 900 claims for dam
ages sustained by her citizens during the
revolutions of 1sss-1soo. The settlement
now effected leaves the 10 per cent of
customs receipts, already pledged, intact.
The question whether the 80 per cent of
the customs receipts required for the new
CLAIMS will go to the allies as preferred
creditors, or serve, to satisfy the claims
of the eleven creditors, is to be decided
by The Hague tribunal. The allies, no
tably the two most important, were not
very anxious to have this matter settled
at The Hague, because they do not relish
the scrutiny which will be given to the
claims there to discover whether there.
Is any real preferential right. This mat
ter determined, a mixed tribunal or COM
mission will consider all the claims The
blockade having been lifted, Venezuela's
foreign business will revive, stimulating
naturally the domestic business, and i'm
parting strength to Castro's administra-
ton and dsposing quickly of the Matos
revolt.
The customs receipts Of Venezuela, mar
thine and inland, are ample to meet the
claims which, if fairly adjudicated, could
be reduced very materially in amount
The Bowen settlement not only lifts the
blockade, but requires Germany and Eng
land to restore to Venezuela the shipping
captured during the blockade It would
seem that Germany should be required to
pay damages for her wanton lombard
ment Of the Venezuelan coast killing and
wounding helpless people, old and young. ~
During this whole Venezuelan business
our government has given its IN oral sup
port to Minister Bowen as the representa-
tive Of Venezuela. It has not, in any re-
spect, gone beyond or fallen behind tn
consistent fealty to the Monroe doctrine.
AS one of the creditors Of Venezuela, the
United States was, under the necessity Of
guarding it's interests against the greed
of the European powers. AS custodian of
the Monroe doctrine, the United States
was in duty bound to prevent foreign
occupation Of Venezuelan territory. For
this reason, a formidable segment of our
navy was sent to the Caribbean sea. While
Germany violated the laws of war by she'll
ing villages and killing men, women and
children, proceeding which the kaiser's
conscience canJreconcile with his avowals
of humane purpose, the threatened occu-
patton of territory was prevented by the
presence of our squadron ana the prompt
Articulation of American opinion. The
substantial results of the incident entirely
vindicate the course of the government,
which has been patriotic in every respect
and loyal to the Monroe doctrine.
