THE VENEZUELAN DISPUTE
ANGLO-GERMAN ACTION. SPEECH BY PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. THE MONROE DOCTRINE. By Telegraph.Press Association.Copyright. (Received April 5, 5.30 p.m.) New York, April 3. The Venezuelan Congress refused to consider the British, German, and Italian protocols, because they had been signed by the Venezuelan representative under compulsion from the Powers. Congress, however, empowered President Castro to comply with the conditions specified in the protocols. President Roosevelt, speaking at Chicago, said he had refrained from objecting to Anglo-German action in South America, inasmuch as no acquisition of territory was contemplated. He said the Monroe Doctrine was not an international law, although it might become so, but this course was unnecessary if the Doctrine remained a cardinal V feature of American policy and there was sufficient strength to make it effective. No foreign Power would quarrel over the Monroe Doctrine if America continued building up a navy.
