VIGOROUS LANGUAGE USED Solicitor for State Department De- clares the Time Has Come to Pre- sent Demands and to Insist on Their Immediate Acceptance. ‘Washington, April 1—The presi- dent has sent to the senate the Ven- ezuelan correspondence called for by the Lodge resolution. This corre- spondence covers the history of the five American claims which this gov- ernment has so far in vain sought to have President Castro agree to arbi- trate. They are the Jaurett claim, the Orinoco corporation claim, the Orinoco Steamship company claim, the United States and Venezuelan company (com- monly known as the Critchfield) claim and the New York and Bermudez As- phalt company claim. In explanation of the latter the famous “Calhoun” report is for the first time made pub- lic. This does not absolve the as- phalt company from blame for incit- ing the Matos rebellion against Pres- ident Castro. Strong language is used by the solicitor of the state depart- ment in urging a vigorous prosecution of all these claims and he holds that “the time has come for language stronger than that employed in a re- quest. And if the demand be met with procrastination or refusal the dignity of this government would seem to require prompt and vigorous ac- tion.” He also quotes Secretary Fish, saying: “It is useless to attempt to exhaust justice in a country where there is no justice to exhaust.” The solicitor’s presentation abounds in other vigorous expressions of this sort. No suggestion or recommendation is made by either President Roosevelt or Secretary Root in transmitting the correspondence to the senate. Secre- tary Root’s letter enumerates the doc- uments which are transmitted and the president’s letter is simply a for- mal statement that the resolution of Senator Lodge has been complied with.
