riedly and entails so many important
questions that it probably will have to
await a formal meeting between Prem
Ter Clemenceau and the members of
the cabinet, many Of whom are now
absent from the city.
Although France has practically
dropped the question of her relations
with Venezuela, since President Gas.
tro refused to allow Brazil to take
over French interests, attention has
boon attracted to the matter anew, by
the sensational condemnation of the
French cable company by the Venezu-
elan courts, to pay damages for alleg-
ed completely in the Mates contro-
versy Of 1903 to the amount of $5,OO0,-
600. In fact. this judgment, from the
French standpoint, has re-opened the
entire matter.
At the same time the action Of the
Venezuelan courts explains, according
to the opinion held in well informed
circles, here, why President Castro
did not permit Brazil to represent
France in Venezuela, 1t being held
that Castro wished to make 1t impos-
sible for Brazil to demonstrate against
this verdict, which is regarded here
as absurd.
In unofficial circles there is some
disposition to point out that France,
whose minister was literally driven
from Caracas, as well as Holland, the
other countries interested, are placed
in an embarrassing position on account
Of the inaction of the United States
with regard to this South American
republic. It is generally admitted that
America has a 9reater right to take
the initiative in anything pertaining
to Venezuela than any other country
concerned.
