Bermudese Asphalt Case
Not International.
WON'T ARBITRATE
Not IT Your Whole American Navy and
Army Come Hammering at My
Doors That's II or Words TO
That Effect. His Reply
Reaches Washington.

(Correspondence of Associated Press
Caracas. venzuela, April 2.-"Presi-
dent Castro will not withdraw the New
York and Bermudese Asphalt Com
pany case from the Venezuelan courts
and will not re-submit the olcott ease
to arbitration If the whole American
army and navy come TO Venezuela" ="
This emphatic statement of General
Barra. the Venezuelan secretary for
foreign affairs, reflects the spirit of
the reply which President Castro
made TO the recent proposal of the
American State Department for the
arbitration of the Bermudese and OIL
colt cases.
Ii was generally rumored through
out Venezuela that the demand of the
United States was little less than an
ultimatum TO General Castro, and the
reply OF the Venezuelan president was
awaited with interest. Predictions OF
Intervention from the refusal of Cas-
tro To yield were freely made. and
there was much uneasiness when IL
was announced that the Venezuelan
government had not only refused the
demand To arbitrate the case, but
had supplemented its refusal with a
request that the United States declare
whether il has any respect for the
sovereignty and the courts OF Nene-
zuela.
Nearly two weeks have passed since
Castro made his reply, and as no ac-
tion has been taken by the United
States and no further demands have
been made. the last demand of the
United States has gone the way of
many previous requests for arbitra-
tion and the incident is practically
closed as far as its discussion in
Caracas is concerned.
President Castro and his advisers
claim that TO reopen the Oloott case
would be an insult TO Holland, as Mr.
Barge, who acted as umpire, is well
known Dutch diplomat. They alsc
hold that as Venezuela was denied
the right to have the arbitration of the
Belgian water-works case re-opened
none of the other cases settled under
the Washington protocols shall be re-
considered.
1t is emphatically denied in the re-
ply of President Castro, that there
are any claims pending between the
United States and Venezuela. He
again reiterates that the New York
and Bermudese asphalt case now in
the NeHtIuClau CpuINS IL Il ildAAOtiei
and not an international one.
President Castro and the members
of his cabinet take the ground tha
while the government stands for this
general principle of arbitration II will
not have a case wreSted from It's
courts to be carried before a board
of arbitration.
The charges that Venezuela is not
paying it's obligations to creditor ma
tions under the Washington protocols
are denied by administration officials

the death last Thursday, at little
