The President has determined to de-

until Congress meets and he has an
opportunity of consulting men in his
party, possibly Congress itself on the
difficult problem presented by the AS
phalt Trust and their alleged grievance
but its own methods in this country
have been such that it is not entitled
to full credence and President Castro
presents strong case against the
Trust. The claims of Venzuela are
that the Trust wilfully disregarded
certain stipulations of its contracts and
that it even aided and abetted forces
in revolution against the recognized
government of Venzuela. 1t would
not be at all surprising if these claims
were true. The Trust never hesitated
at disregarding the provisions of it's
contract in this country and from an
ethical standpoint there is very little
difference between aiding the revolu-
tioniats against a government and
bribing the officials Of a government
or municipality. Every day that has
