CASTRO WILL
ARBITRATE
BY Jacob Waldeck.

WASHINGTON, Feb. An open
rupture with Venezuela now seems
inevitable.
1t is no secret that the admins
tration had hoped to shelve the COM
plications there until the Santo Do
mingo problem had been disposed Of,
but it seems to be impossible.
Minister Bowen has been unable
to report the slightest progress in
his efforts to induce President Cas-
tro to agree to an adjustment of
American claims.
1t is stated that unless unforeseen
circumstances force crisis, the adj
ministration will defer action until
after the adjournment of congress.
That would permit of free action and
not subject the officials to interfer-
ence by the senate.
This too would be in accord with
Santo Domingo problem.
Whether the method to be adopted
shall be an ultimatum or a naval
demonstration remains to be decided.
1t depends much upon Castro. If he
is merely holding out for the effect
that resistance to the United States
may have on his people he may yield
to an ultimatum. He can say that
he held out as long as possible, but
was obliged to yield to superior
force.
The program is that Castro shall
arbitrate. 1t remains with him
whether he shall arbitrate volun-
| tarly as a result of strong diplo-
matte pressure or by force exercised
by the navy.
Castro can have his choice, but he
| must choose quickly. In the end he
will arbitrate.

editorial appeared in the Social Ethics

Kelchner asked for q retraction, none
was Forthcoming,
When the case was called, the coun-
sci for the defendants announced that
it was their desire to be tried separate
~ and as a result T. E. VIII was Sc
lected as the first defendant.
Thomas E viii, previous to his con-
nection with the Social Ethics and the
state central committee OF the Socialist
party, was connected with several Kan
sas institutions of learning, one of the
most important Of which was the State
Agricultural college at Manhattan. He
was president of that institution for sew
eral years. Later he was at the head Of
the American Social college, located at
Wichita, and previous to that held. a
chair in a Missouri college.
In his statement to the jury after the
state had rested its case, the counsel
for the defendant said;
This matter as quoted. as defamatory
in the information, is not true. Mr..
Will did not sign the article in question
and did not publish it. The law of the
state under the circumstances would
exonerate him. The fact that there was
a political campaign on at the time
tends to show that such matters as
these were purely partisan topics and
should not have been taken seriously -
In his direct testimony Professor Will
contended that he was simply acting in
a clerical capacity as one of the asso-
ciate editors of the paper and that he
was in no way responsible for any ar
ticle except that to which he placed his
signature and not the article named in
the information.
The attorneys for the state and for
the defendants will make their argus
ments before the jury today.
