SETTLEMENT OF THE
VENEZUELANiCLAIMS
French Foreign,Office la Con
cerned at Allies’ Action.
INTEREST OF OTHER COUNTRIES.
Rejection by Allies of Proposal That
France and Other Claimants Re
ceive Equal Treatment In Venezue
lan Settlement Causes Conceit.
Paris, Jan. 30.—The foreign office
here received today lengthy* official
advices giving details of the rejection
by the allies of the proposal that
France and other countries receive
equal treatment in the Venezuelan
settlement. The French officials had
not doubted that equal treatment
would be recognized ami this unex
pected turn of events has caimed much
surprise and concern.
For the present it does not appear
to be the purpose of the French au
thorities to assume a persistent posi
tion, but they put forth that
they regard the manifest equities of
the French position with the view to
Induce Ms further consideration and
acceptance. After conferring with
those chief in authority, the officials
said that the French position is based
on two essential principles.
The first is that a pacific settlement
between two sovereign nations Is en
titled at least to equal treatment with
a war settlement. If not, a precodent
would* be established, the officials
eay, which would be an Incentive to
war as a method to enforce claims,
as this would he recognized as su
perior rights as a means of settlement.
This view is strongly held hero that
tie United States, France and Bel
gium are In effect pacific allies, as
they did not resort to force against
Venezuela. It Is Insisted that the
present attitude of the allies tends
not only to prejudice the right of the
pacific allies, but also establishes the
dangerous principle that a resort to
war le preferable to efforts to main
tain peace. ,
Tie second principle of the French
position Is that the Fnanco-Vcnezue-
lan settlement Is In the form of a
treaty which entitles It to internation
al recognition. This was formally
executed prior to the adoption of force
toy the allies and while Venezuela
retained full Independence in the ex
ercise of her sovereign right to make
a treaty. Therefore. It is maintain
ed that this antedates rights arising
from a resort to force. It Is not in
sisted, however, that this prior treaty
settlement entitles France to prior
ity In Jhe division of the customs re
ceipts, as the officials hold that all
the powers having claims should re
ceive equal treatment. It was at first
supposed that Great Britain, Germany
and Italy favored this view, and that
the opposition came from the person
al attitude of their representative. But
the latest advices indicate the sym
pathetic attitude of the British am
bassador at Washington. Sir Michnol
Herbert, the German charge d’affaires,
Count Von Quadt, and the Italian am
bassador, Signor Mayor des Blanches,
who are restricted by their instruc
tions. Full recognition Is given of
the evident fairness of Minister Bow
en.
