WASHINGTON. December o7.-vene-
zuela has formally proposed to all the
neutral governments of Europe, Asia
and the two Americas that conference
be held in Washington to revise or
supplement the rules of international
law respecting the rights OF neutrals.
The plan provides that the govern

consisting of the diplomatic represen-
draft program for the conference.
and that the rules finally agreed upon
by II should be submitted later to the
bcllgerents
The proposal would seek, not only to
dthne the rights of neutrals in such
questions as the presence of belIiCer-
cnt ships in close proximity to neutral
shores. but would embrace the entire
field of contraband seizures and deter
tons, with the idea of reaching a uni
form understanding to protect neutral
commerce.
In view OF the partial reputation of
the Declaration of London OF 1903 by
the allied powers, and the announce
ment OF the United States that IL could
not accept II because 1t had not been
ratified by all the nations concerned

ings In international law. neutral ma

the various governments could en-

in Washington to act for them. He
said, however. none of the powers adj
dressed had formally replied.

coming business, but, as the two ella sses

buildings, there was no actual way of
comparing them"
While parcels are the big thing dur

also exceedingly heavy, particularly In
