CASTRO GIVES LOTS OF TROUBLE

and the United States & Venezuela Co.,
New Jersey corporation which is
commonly known as the Critchfield
claim. presents a variation to the
monotony of revoked concessions in
volVed in the other cases. This is a
company, according to the state de-
partment, which obtained a conces-
sion to mine and export asphalt, build
a railroad, etc, which entered cnthus-
astcally into the work OF that enter
prise. The contract with the company,
which President Castro himself entered
into, stipulated that only certain du-
ties and taxes would he imposed by the
government on the exports and imports
of the company. The claim arises from
the fact that after the company had
expended 100000 in improvements in
VeneZula and had completed its prep
erations to export ashpalt, the duties
and taxes were greatly increased. The
company refused to go into the Nene-
Zucan courts and appealed directly to
the state department. 1t is admitted
that the case is plainly within the rule
which fOrbids diplomatic action I'M
til the ordinary means of judicial re
lief have been exhausted, but in juSti-
fication of the demand for arbitration

Fish: 1t is useless to attempt to ex-
