Washington, Jan. 30-The Venezue-
Ian situation is still very uncertain
and officials are awaiting with some
concern the developments of the next
"a hours. No final answer has come to
Minister Bowen's proposition Offering
a guaranty, as demanded by the allies,
as a preliminary to the raising of the
blockade and the relief Of the unfortu
nate situation in which the blockade
places the government and people Of
Venezuela. The contention Of the three
allies that they shall be given prefer
entail treatment in settlement and pay
ment OF their claims as against all the
other seven creditor nations is the
point on which the negotiations now
hang fire. Minister Bowen is insis-
tent that the allies shall not have pref
erential treatment in the matter of the
payment of the claims and in all his
conferences with the representatives OF
the European governments here he has
made his position very clear. 1t is
known that he has declined to modify
his demands in this respect. Pressure
along certain influential lines has been
brought to bear on the allies to show
the justice of Mr.. Bowen's contention.
The rejection of his proposition for
the treatment of all the creditors alike
it is believed here. would result in
throwing the case to The Hague tri-
bunal, before which body all the ma
tions having claims against Venezuela
would be placed on an equal footing.
! 1t is known that the allies would pre-
fer that this should not be done, as
consideration of the claims by that
body would entail much delay in their
settlement and there are other fea-
lures which make it desirable to the
allies that the claims be settled out
side of that body. One of them is that
if they came before The Hague, Vene-
zuela would have the right to set VI
counter claims as an Offset to those
presented by the allies. These, it is
said, might reduce considerably the
amount of money to be paid by Vene'
zuela.
Minister Bowen continues hopeful o.
a favorable answer to his proposition
He realizes that the question is an i'm
portant one to the nations involved
and is not unwilling that they shoul'
take time to consider the question
! fully.
1t is learned that on the second da!
after his arrival here Minister Bower
informed the French diplomatic rep
resentative in Washington that tn
French claims would be treated on tn
same basis as claims of the allies ant
would be taken up after the blockad
was raised. Relying on this assuranc
the French government has remaine'
inactive, bat it is stated that shoul'
! the allied powers be granted prefer
= entail treatment France would TAX
steps at once to protect her Venezuela
interests and would make representa-
tions on the subject to the foreign OF
fees at London, Berlin and Rome.
