Today those ''unrighteous" and foolhardy organs have ceased to ex- ist, by government order, and now there is no break in the pleasant chorus of laudation that arises from the morning and afternoon dailies.
 Already there is serious friction in the cabinet that has divided 1t into two fac tions-one headed by Baptista, is as re- actionary in it's tendencies as ever was Castro, and the other by Alcantara, for mer graduate of our own West Point Mill itary academy, who sees the political fu- ture of Venezuela sluggishly sinking back into the stupidities of the greedy, graft ing dictatorships of the past decades. AL cantara today is probably the most lm- portant and powerful Venezuelan next to Baptista.

The settlement that Gomez accepted in this matter cost the Venezuelan government $4,940 900, for they accepted s60,00o In lieu of the court award of $5,0O0.000 for damage resulting from a filibustering revolution.
 In the streets of CaracasNt today the topic of conversation is no longer the new pros perity. but instead one hears the charges of graft, bribery, favoritism and corrup- ton, that recall the palmy days of Guz- man Blanco, the Belshazzar of Venezuela.
 Castro Still Menace.
 From the standpoint of present Pres ident Gomez and his partisans, Castro is still menace. The partIsans of Castro are not dead, nor are they scattered They are still in Venezulea, and they are simply out of office and without salary, waiting for their turn of the wheel to come again. That Castro has a strong faction outside of the mere officeholders what one might almost call public senti- ment is also true, TOT he must have had a very substantial sentiment back of him in order to retain his absolute hold for nine consecutive years upon the gov ernment and people of the country. Once let there be an open rupture between these connictlng elements, united Dy Gonz for the time solely on the basis of their common hatred of Castro, and there will be a dozen revolutions, heaSed by as many revolutonaries in the field. That will be Castr0> opportunity, for Castro Is shrewd able, fearless, and master Lem politician.

 Venezuela has tried her reform" and found it as greedy, as arrogant, and more selfish and more stupid than the regime from which she fancied she had freed herself. The situation is, of course, made peculiarly interesting by the fact that, when Castro finally stepped from the op- erating table to return to his own coun- try in the personal capacity of private citizen. or an indicted criminal submit
