On Top of it All Treatment Of

London, Aug. 31-The reply of the
Netherlands government to President
Castro's last note will, it is under
stood, be in substance that The Dutcn
cruiser Gelderland did not salute the
Venezuelan flag upon entering La Gu
aire because, under International naval
practice war, a vessel does not salute
flag in a foreign port if it Tad en-
tered that port and saluted within a
year. The Gelderland had done this.
Not Accepted as Consul.
AS for the alleged insults to the
Venezuelan consul at Willems .ad. ISL
and of Curacao, the gentleman SO en-
titled, it is stated, was never accepted
by the Netherlands government as
consul, hence he could not officially be
styled consul, and was in Curacao sim-
ply as a citizen of Venezuela.

In conclusion, it is said, the treat
Caracas, who was expelled by Presi-
dent Castro. was irregular, according
to international etiquette, as Castro,
instead of sending De Reus his pass
ports. expelling him from the country,
should have informed the Netherlands
government that its minister was no
longer a persona grata, and should
have requested his recall. The method
Castro preferred to follow was often
sive and in violation to diplomatic pro-
cedure

Bryan said in part:
The democratic platform makes re.

republican platform is silent on the
subject and naturally so. To have
promised economy would have been
mockery To have defended the ap-
preparations made by the last congress
would have been impossible.
