AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECCRDER, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 6, 1903. 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. ALASKAN BOUNDARY TREATY. ARE YOU A OOM3NG MOTHER 7 ARE YOU EXPECTANT ?
