exhaustively in all it's phases, the cabi-
net dispersed shortly after midnight
last night. and Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs Van Swinderen proceeded to the
royal chateau at Het Loo to acquaint
Queen Wilhelmina with the result of
the council.
The terms of The Netherlands as to
the letter Of President Castro of Vene-
zuela were fully discussed, and it is
understood that the actual text as well
as broad lines of action drawn up to
meet any possible eventualities were
agreed upon.
In diplomatic circles here the view
is entertained that the present difficulty
between Holland and Venezuela is not
of a nature to be settled by arbitra-
tion, and in explanation it is pointed
out that the dispute is not of a private
commercial character like the Difficult
ties that have arisen between Vene-
zuela and Germany or America
In these cases the governments in
question sought satisfaction for claims,
but Holland has no claim on Venezuela.
1t is maintained that the present ques-
ton is rather one of national honor a
matter which is not SO susceptible of
solution by arbitration.
