SUPPORTING HOLLAND.
Moral influence of The Powers in Ven
ezuelan Affairs.

The Hague, Dec. GA yellow book,
which has just been issued on Venez-
uelan affairs states that all the pow
ers swsth which the Netherlands gov
cTnment has been in communication,
without exception, have notified the
government Of their agreement with its
line of action. The Dutch government
has not asked for any active assist
nnce, being convinced of it's own ability
to bring about a settlement Of the diff
fcultY with Venezuela, but will rely
entirely upon it's own forces. Neverthe-
less it has received the moral support
of all the powers, particularly the
United States which made the declara-
svM sul3oop soIuoW oqa leg1 uoq
not opposed to armed action on the
part Of the Netherlands, nor even the
Temporary occupation of Venezuelan
territory.
The yellow book states that notwith-
standing the acute character of the
present situation, the Dutch govern
ment still is ready to enter upon ser
ious negotiations, provided Venezuela
comedies what Holland regards as in
dispensible, the withdrawal Of the de-
cree of May IA. Further, the yellow
book declares that arbitration would
have meant the acceptance of the state
of affairs created by President Castro
and the prolongstion of the sufferings
of the people of Curacao, while pre-
vious experiences with Venezuela gave
ground for the belief that arbitration
would have but problematic advan-
tage 70 far as the Netherlands was
