GREAT BRITAIN MAY AID
 HOLLAND IN HER DISPUTE

London, Aug. 29.--"It would not be safe to say that Great Britain will not take some action to assist Hoi- land in her present dispute with Pres- ident Castro, of venezuela, as there Is as yet no teffing what turn this mat ter may take" were the carefully weighed words of an official of the foreign office when questioned this morning with regard to the despatch from Rome. setting forth that the powers of Europe were in communi- cation with each other on this sub- ject and that there had been some in- formal references to Venezuela be- tween the British and American dlp- lomatic representatives. No decision. however, the Rome despatch said, had yet been reached as to what action. If any, would be taken.
 Great Britain Is In much the same position as the United States. the for eign .official went on. She has many grievances against President Castro, but she is reluctant to take action now that a smaller power is likely to bring him to account Great Brit ain feels she can support Holland without being accused of bullying a little state. which probably would be the case if she acted individually.
