We Wish the Peace Of Justice, the

Come TO Fear Venezuela.

New York, March 31.--A desire for
a peacable adjustment OF venezuela's
financial troubles is reiterated by Pres
ident Castro OF that republic in an
interview cabled by the Caracas cor
respondent Of the Herald. President
Castro Is quoted as follows:
II have seen from the first that no
danger was likely to arise out Of the
affairs which have unjuly occupied
public attention.
Aside from other reasons, Venezuela
places complete confidence in tie
words of President Roosevelt, who
said: Americas attitude toward ali
nations should be one of cordial and
sincere friendship. We should show
strongly our desire for their good will
by acting toward them in spirit OF
Just and generous recognition Of all
their rights. We wish peace, but we
wish the peace of justice, the peace OF
righteousness. No weak nation that
acts rightly and justly should ever
have cause to fear u.s.
''venezuela's government asks no
more than what Mr.. Roosevelt pro-
claims.
I'VE hold that the French Cable case
and the Bermudese case are identical.
Neither company has fulfilled its con-
tracts Both favor revolutionists here.
Their cases were not submitted to the
mixed commission, because they knew
1t was Venezuela which should have
made claims instead of themselves.
Their disposition then was to ignore
Venezuela's rights.
The cable company is fully aware
that they favor the revolutionists.
Original documents and proofs are in
possession of this government. The
company and many persons of the
greatest Importance were seriously in
volved. Time viii reveal all"
President Castro declared that the
Asphalt Company gave the revolution
lists 100000 in one instance.

Mr. Rogers alleges that the vast
sums OF money extorted in rebates by

was flagitiously acquired. To coerce
railroads into an arrangement by
which It received large rebate on not

by Its competitors to force railroads to
rob competitors for Its enrichment,
was, admit, a flagltious policy q
