FEARS SUPPOSED PLOT.
Vene2ueIa's s Suspicious Prevent Join
ing Pan-1merican Congress.

Advices from Caracas say that Venezuela will
not be represented at the Pan-Amercan Con-
gress at Rio The reason given semi officially
is that General Cipriano Castro. whose "resigna-
ton" from the Presidency has not been accepted
and who will return to office on July ;. fears
that the United States seeks 10 use the con-
gress for the purpose of obtaining control over
the South American republics.
One of the Castro newspapers says:
Venezuela will not take part in the Pan-Amer-
ican Congress at Rio because there is dis
position her part to serve the instrument
of the United States in the latter's sinister de-
signs against the weak republics of South Amer
ica.
The present attitude of the Venezuelan gov
ernment toward the Pan-American Congress re-
calls the action Of President Castro when the
congress convened at Mexico City a few years
ago. It was at the time that Colombia and
Venezuela We're involved in controversies which
threatened TO preciritate war between the two
countries. General Rafael Reyes now President
Of Colombia was one of the delegates from his
country TO Mexico City. and Venezuela also
represented.
The congress cabled to President Castro the
suggestion that these differences be submitted
10 arbitration. Castro. whose aversion to arbi
tration is well known. became veXed at the sug
gestion and replied by cable in manner that
was neither polite diplomatic. His answer
to the Pan-American Congress was, Please
don't meddle in affairs" He also withdrew
VenezueIa's delegate from the congress
This action by Castro caused DIR. Eduardo
Blanco. Minister of Foreign Affairs. to resign
his office
1t is said that venezuela's real reason for not
taking part at Rio is Castro's failure to have
gratihed his desire that the congress meet this
wear at Caracas
