CRITICISM IS SILENCED. Untrue Treaty Provides' for Friendly Intel vcntlon in Interest of Peace. WASHINGTON, Dec. SO. Inasmuch as certain European publicists have taken exception to the efforts of the United States to bring about arbitration between Venezuela and the allies as a violation of all the traditions and rules of internation al Intercourse, the attention of one of the most eminent "American members of the representatives at Tho Hague conference, one of the men who framed The Hague convention itself, was directed to the crit icisms. He very promptly cleared away the misunderstanding on this point by pointing to article 27 of The Hague con vention as Justification of the attitude of the United States. The article reads: "The signatory powers consider it their duty if a serious dispute threatens to break out between two or more of them, to remind these latter that the permanent court Is" open to them. Consequently they declare that the fact of reminding the. conflicting parties of the provision of the present convention and the advice given to them in the highest interests of peace, to have recourse to the permanent court can only be regarded as friendly action." The paragraph was proposed by France, and singularly enough it was opposed principally by the United States; yet the United States is the first of the nations to avail Itself o.f its provisions. The rea son for the opposition of our delegates was a fear on their part that it would seem to be a bestowal of power upon European countries to intervene In Amer ican affairs, and in a manner an infringe ment of the Monroe Doctrine. The French delegates were exceedingly anxious to carry tho paragraph, however, and they finally succeeded In quieting the opposition- of the United States delegates, through the reservation by the latter of the Tight to deal with American affairs in accordance with our doctrines. This was thought to safeguard the Monroe Doctrine, though it Is held here It only recorded an opinion of the United States delegates, and did not bind The Hague tribunal as a whole.

It Is understood to be the hope and expectation of the President, and his advisers that upon the receipt of President Castro's reply to the arbitra tion proposition the .allies will agree to raise the blockade established by .'them over Venezuelan ports. Such action, in the view of this Government would place the questions. Jn controversy In excel lent, shape for arbitration. Secretary Moody and.
