Gen. Castro has found it convenient to
forget much of the policy he then an
nounced. He has created for the enrich
ment Of himself and his satellites all
care as to how they might affect either
the commerce Of the country or the well
fare of its citizens.
One of the most infamous of these adj
ministrative monopo!ies is that which
controls the beef product, which has

Il cents a pound, in county one OF the

come his motto. Nor does he hesitate
to avow that the ruin of these foreign
corporations is his ann.
Castro's recent policy toward the New
York and Bermudez Asphalt company,
in expelling its representatives and SEEK
Ing to attach it's assets, is no exceptional
case. Three years ago reputable New
York concern operated line of vessels
on the Orinoco river. For this privilege
they paid into President Castro's cof-
fers 100000. Gen. Castro, after accept
ing the price, seized upon some pretext.
coerced the courts to his will, and re-
voked the concession. thereby running
the company.
Germany, too, has been conspicuous
sufferer. The Great Venezuelan railway,
which connects Caracas with Valencia
and which had cost Krupp, the famous
gunmaker of Essen, $4,000, 900, had the
business Of transporting all the cattle
belonging to Castro and his associates.
But by Castro's manipulation the road
has become unremunerative.
The Central railway, running from
Caracas to Santa Lucia, is British cor
poration. 1t had the misfortune to lose
II miles of its trackage by an inundation,
and it was thereupon menaced by the
dictator with an annulment of its char
ter, and later an offer of purchase at q
rldiculously low figure was made.
(: Not dissimilar was the experience of
the Carenero railroad, French corpor-
alton. It was threatened with destruc-
ton and subsequently received an offer
Of purchase under analogous conditions.
And individual foreigners have been
no less unfortunate than foreign cor.
porations.
All these grievances and injustice are
as so many foci for the revolutionary
propaganda, and the sufferers are living
only in the hope of seeing Castro over
thrown. Something is bound to happen
ere long.
