VENEZUELA PROPOSES
NEUTRALITY CONFERENCE
Dominica Hands Memorandum to
Bryan and Diplomats Of Non
Belligerent Nations Here.

Proposal for d conference in Wash
ington to revise or supplement the
rules of international law respecting
the rights of neutrals in the present
war has been made by Venezuela to
all the neutral countries of Europe,
Asia and the two Americas.
Acting under instructions from his
government, Dr. Santos A. Dominica,
Venezuelan minister to the United
States, has delivered a memorandum to
Secretary Bryan and all the diplomatic
representatives here OF neutral govern
ments in all parts of the globe. outlin-
ing III detail the need for the interna-
tional conference and what il could
accomplish.
The plan provides that the governing
board of the American Union, con-
sisting of the diplomatic representa-
tives of all the American republics.
should draft a program for the con-
ference or congress and that the rules
finally agreed upon by all the neutrals
should in turn be submitted to the bel
ljgerentS.
Rights of Neutrals.
The Venezuelan proposal would seek
not only to define the rights of neutrals
in such questions as the presence of
bellgerent ships in close proximity to
neutral shores, but would embrace the
entire field of contraband, seizures and
detentions, with the idea of reaching a
uniform understanding to protect neu-
tral commerce.
In view of the partial reputation OF
the unratified declaration of London
Of 1909 by the allied powers, and the
announcement of the United States that
it could not accept piecemeal adoption
of the same declaration, but would be
guided by previous rulings in interna-
tional law, neutral nations have been
forced practically to forge their own
codes of law. The lack of uniformity
has led to much controversy and con-
fusion.
Sentiment Favors Proposals.
While the neutral diplomats to whom
the plan has been communicated by the
Venezuelan minister have transmitted
it to their respective governments, no
formal replies have as yet been re-
ceived. DR.. Dominica, who discussed the
matter personally with each diplomat.
said last night that he had found SEN
timent generally favorable to the pro-
posal. In his opinion the congress
could empower their diplomatic repre-
sentatives in Washington to act for
them. The deliberations of the neutrals
could similarly be submitted in Wash
ington to the ambassadors and minis
ters representing the belligerents.
