WARNING TO THE POWERS

cept International Arbitration.
PosTER1oR EVENTS INCIDENTS
Says His Country Is Punctually Pay
ing It's Debts and Fulfilling
All It's Obligations.

CARACAS, Venezuela, Friday, August
(via Port Of Spain. Trinidad. -Deviat-
ing from his usual custom of not spec king
for publication, President Castro granted
an interview today to the Associated
Press concerning Venezuela and her trou-
bles with foreign powers, which have re-
Gently been augmented by his expulsion
from the republic Of the Dutch minister,
NJ De Reus.
II am glad to give the Associated Press
my opinion on this historic moment
said President Castro. II only wish
everybody the peace and harmony that ex-
list with the good commercial relations
which small nations need. To create diplo-
matte agents who humble weak nations is
anomalous counteractive.
Warning to the Powers.
IF the powers will not fulfill the great
idea that the great International tribunal
shall decide disputes by arbitration and
not by force, they commit suicide.
Reason would have acquired prestige
and force would not prevail today If,
when the blockaders used force against
us, friendly nations had adopted peaceful
measures to settle the outstanding ques-
lions. The Incorporation against us of
these nations considered as friends COM
pletely destroyed the right of reason ana
placed all of them in the category of ia
voring force in the solution of difficulties
The question of the use of force in the col
lection of debts was carried before Inc
Hague peace conference, but We weak ma
tions saved our rights there.
I'm spite of all. Venezuela will continue
in peaceful development, because this
question has been settled and poSteriOr
events are only incidents.
I'VE at first paid the blockaders of our
ports because of the dominance Of force.
The decision that terminated this state OF
affairs was that of the high Hague tri-
bunal. Today Venezuela punctually pays
her debts and fulfills all her obligations.
less broke friendly relations with us, but
notwithst anding this fact commercial re-
lations between the United States and
Venezuela continue the same as before the
break occurred. The severance of frienuay
relations between France and Venezuela
has not altered the normal progress OF
this republic.
"Our Just Claims"
Both the American and French govern
ments have made claims against Ven
ezuela which are being paid. Consequent
ly as corporate Interests of those countries
have damaged us 1 assume that an oppor-
tunity will be taken by their governments
to listen to our just ella 5 against those
interests, and that Ct tent tribunals
will decide the amount or these claims.
The Netherlands incident l consider to
have been brought about by NJ. De Reus
(the Dutch minister to Venezuela who re-
Gently was expelled by President Castro)
and the Curacao government.

WOULD SAVE MEN FROM WOMEN
Georgia Legislator Has Bill to Safe.
guard Against AlIurements.


Atlanta, Ga.-Woman's most cher
ished aids to Standardization are
threatened by a bill which has just
been introduced in the state legisla.
ture by George Glenn, representative
for Whitefield county, who seeks to
throw around man all the safeguards
possible against the allurements of
women.
His bill, II passed, will prevent the
establishment so common after mar
riage when the husband discovers that
half of his wife's hair is a rat, her
form made lovelier by the deft use
of pads, and her complexion enriched
by the use of paint and powder.
So long as a woman chooses to re
main single she will, under the Glenn
bill, have a right to use all the aids
to beauty she desires and to exert
her Establishments upon the more sus-
ceptible sex at will.
III she wants to get married, how
ever, she must appear as she really is.
For the measure provides that should
a woman entrap a nan into marriage
through the use Of paints, powder,
cosmetics, artificial teeth, raddings,
drop-stitched hose, high-heeled shoes,
c%orsets, V-cut waists, lingerie or peek
a-boo waists, the marriage will be de-
clared null and void.
The bill was referred by the speak
er to the committee on ways and
means, where it will receive careful
consideration. 1t is understood that
pressure is being brought to bear upon
the members by their wives to amend
the measure considerably.
