Oerll" , Dec. 3.-.rhl.1 publlsbed
statement thot Germany's cJalms

pr.rsons who ha'e seelJ the papers say
tbe total Is altouL 2 million dollars.
President Oastro represents to Germany -
many that Venezuela has little crel1-

which planting and Industry were
partlaJIy ruined and that therefore
no matter how much Venezuela muy

While President Castro's proposals
