W ar with the I'n lted States over
fifty miles of awarup land Is predicted
by leading Venezuelan officials
The
strip was under control o f the asphalt
trust until the beginning o f the iocg
series o f difficulties that now may end
in a contest with America.
All the turmoil, bloodshed, revolution
and Internationa) controversies have
their origin In this speck o f territory.
I ’ pon Its proper development depends
the wealth o f the nation; for It Is the
natural outlet fo r ail the resources of a
goutitry so rich in the earth's treasures
that the dreams o f a Plzarro might be
realized.
It was granted to the as­
phalt trust with the agreement that It
would be developed. Canola were to be
dug so th«*t the hosts oopld sail up th«*
river to the gold mines, the stiver
mines, the oil walls and the rich coffee
plantations.
Railroads were to have
been built. One o f the Venezuelan gov­
ernment’s principal complaints against
the American asphalt trust Is that It
never fulfilled any o f these promises.
All the trust did was to push its own
boats Into the pitch lakes, load them
and take away the valuable natural
product.
The dlatrlet has remained Impover
Isbed because undeveloped. Ita 3,uou,-
000 people were poor because they could
not get their wealth sold
The rail­
roads and the canal» promised never
materialized Into anything better than
mule caravans and canoes
The <-us
toms which rauip«»s«d the chief Income
to the national treasury fell off, for the
asphalt was free o f duty.
Then the temper o f this mixed rai-e
of Spanish, negroes, and natives reach­
ed the boiling point They hated these
4.000 white men and their trust greed.
They made life dangerous for the for­
eigners. Suits were tiled In the shaky
court* o f the country to try to get back
the asphalt wealth given away, Castro
found he was fighting the most exj>ert
trust lawyers, men who knew other
trleks besides those o f the courts. Revo­
lutionary leaders took advantage of the
turmoil to start Internal troubles. Ev­
erybody In Venezuela believes that the
Matas rebellion was flnaneed by the
trust- -and all Venezuelans Insist that
It was Castro’s duty to the people to
dispossess the trust.
Meanwhile this land o f wonderful
wealth lira like a shining diamond In a
hill o f sand,
its lin izil wood, coral
trees, indigo, rubtor. bananas remain
In the forest. Its gold and silver and
copp-r and marble and granite are still
In the earth, valueless to Venezuela and
the commercial world.
that be bud abort spaces of rest. I bad
been wandering around, and at last
found myself close to the main en­
trance
Soon I saw a common soldier
come up to the hall. He was an ex
.'eedlnglr rough looking specimen
Hla
clothes were worn and soiled, hla boots
outside hit trousers, dirty beyond de­
gree. You could hardly conceive a n o r*
I
unfit person to enter that great crowd.
He evidently bad a great desire to see
the President, hut knew hla unfitness to
enter. But it was not long before be
mustered courage to push hla way un­
der tbe cover o f others well Into the
hall.
Noting the anxious yearning look on
hla face. I became Interested to watch
hla movement» and note tbe result, it
w a» to t very long before I observed
that Mr. Lincoln had i a eye on him,
as be chanced to come near the door o f
the reception room
Once and again I
saw bis eye search out this soiled and
tmspattered auldler with the most ten­
der look. Then came a more vacant
apace between the two
At length Mr.
Lincoln, with an eic-r,u«7us stride and
a long outreachlng arm, advanced,
ttrasped this soldier by the hand, with a
greeting that must have been seen and
heard to be fully understood : ’’Come
forward, my frie n d ; we are all equal
here.”
With thla hand grasp and welcome
Mr. Lincoln’s attention was turned else­
where but I can remember no other In­
cident that thrilled me as did that lit­
tle scene
And tbe effect o f It upon
that soldier —It seemed to transform
him In a moment. What a new manli­
ness It put Into bis face and attitude.
In a few momenta he waa gone, but tt
was plsln that from that hour Mr Lin ­
coln had at least one man In bis army
who was ready to give hla life to help
Mr i.lii-oln save the rauae for which
both o f them were tolling and sacri­
ficing
