FRANCE IN EARNEST
Determined TO Compel Caatro TO Act
in Better Faith
PATIENCE IS FINALLY EXHAUSTED
Venezuelan Dictator Must Disayow
Offensive Attitude Toward French
Charge d Affairs at Caracas or Ne
gotations Will Be Broken Off.

Paris, BY Cable.-The offensive atti-
tude Of Venezuela toward NJ. Taiynv
the French charge daffaires at Car
acas, has aroused Indignation in Off
ciaI quarters here. Although the Min
istry has not yet taken definite action
It is said in the highest quarters that
Premier ROuvier undoubtedly will de-
nand that Venezuela disavow the Of
fensiye action and adopt a course con-
fOrmable with the usual courtesies of
diplomatic intercourse. The Venezue-
Ian authorities are now seeking to
show that their action was directed
against NJ. Taigny personally, and not
against the French government. but
oficieIs here do not accept the distinc-
tor between NJ. Taighy's personal and
official capacity.
The semi-official Temps Friday
printed leading article rejecting the
official sentiment on the subject. It
said that NJ. Taigny has been ordered
to insist on Venezuelas withdrawing
her positive refusal to deal with him,
II the withdrawal is made and Presi-
dent Castro makes an apology, then the
negotiations will continue. If Venezue-
la does not accede it will be unwise to
Immediately break off diplomatic rela-
tions by the withdrawal of M. Taigny
since this would leave French inter
ests unprotected. The best course would
be for France and the United States
to make a joint naval demonstration
similar to that in which Great Britain
Germany and Italy took part. The au-
thorities here say that exchanges will
occur at Washington relative to the
mutual interest involved in the pend
ing controversies
NJ. Jusserand, the French ambassa-
dor to the United States, will sail for
New York.
