Basis OF Trouble.

Action of the Venezuelan president
in relation to the English match and
salt companies, which is looked upon
as likely to be the cause of his fall,
is typical of the high-handed manner
in which he plays the game of govern
ment About two years ago Castro
granted a concession to a company
which represented English capital, to
make matches in Venezuela. While
this company was established under
the laws of Great Britain, with offices
in the home country, a subsidiary
company was formed in Venezuela for
carving on the business. This sub
sidary company was to be subject to
the laws of Venezuela, and it was
agreed that there should be no appeal
to the protection of Great Britain by
the company 1t is an established fact,
however, in international law, that a
citizen of one country cannot cut him.
self off from the protection OF that
country when he is abroad, no matter
whether he declares he will not seek
the protection Of his native land or
not This has been held true in
number of cases.
For granting the concession to the
English company Castro was given
outright SO per cent of the capital
stock. The custom of taking third
interest in company to which he
grants a concession has become
recognized habit with Castro, 1T is
said For his part, Castro guaranteed
that no other company should manu-
facture matches in Venezuela; that
this company should import raw ma
tprial for manufacturing matches
without duty, and that all foreign
matches should be under a prohibi-
tive tax Castro granted this conces-
sion Notwithstanding the laws Of
Venezuela against monopolies

Revokes COmpany's Concession


The English company, of which
George Williams was manager, made
a success of it's venture, and sold fair
ly good matches at a reasonable rate
Castro, however, it is said, was not
satisfied with the interest which he
was deriving from his. share of the
stock. He determined to work a
game which has proved successful in
several other ventures in Venezuela
Without warning, he revoked the con
cession to the company, declaring 1t
was not putting good matches on the
market. He put a high tariff on lhe
raw materials for the manufacture
of matches and reduced the tax on
imported matches to the slight tax
which was charged on domestic mot
ches With such ruinous conditions
staring the British company III the
face, it closed down its factory and
stopped the sale Of matches. Far q
while there was a match famine in
Caracas. and matches which had sold
for a cent a box sold as high as and
10 cents a box
According to the laws of Venezuela,
the supreme court of the country and
not Castro, has the right to revoke a
concession. Meanwhile the stock of
the company had fallen off in value.
Castro quietly purchased some more
of the stock, until he had over 80 per
cent of, the entire stock issue. He
then called upon the manager of the
company toput the company in oper-
alton again But Mr.. Williams refus-
ed to do this, since the corporation
laws of England protect the minority
stockholders in such matters, With
out actually using force Castro was
powerless to carry cut his program,
which would have eventually made
him the owner of the entire com
pany, for he intended, it is said to
buy it in as soon as it had been put
out of business by the. ruinous rates
in force against it.

Monroe Doctrine In.

Such action is taken to mean that
the United States will be drawn into
the affair In the first place the Unit
ed States has the Monroe doctrine to
uphold Then she also has claims to
urge against Venezuela, and cannot
afford to remain behind when other
nations undertake to make Castro pay
the fiddler
Should the United States undertake
to bring Venezuela to terms, she could
do so at a comparatively small ex-
pense, Notwithstanding the boasts OF
Castro that his country could not be
taken. The army of Venezuela is
small, not more than 5000 or 5000
men; the coast defenses insufficient
the navy nil If the whole country
should rise up in arms and bush
whacking maneuvers be started, any
country would have a difficult time
subduing the Venezuelans, on account
of the confguration of the country,
which would lend itself readily to
this kind of war. But it would be pos
sible to take easily the principle ports
of the country, Caracas, La Guayra
and others.
