Members of President Roosevelt’s Cabinet have advised him not to serve as arbitrator in the Venezuela crisis, but speculation is already underway that he may have to act in that capacity. If he were to do so, possible associates on whom he might rely include Attorney General Philander C. Knox, Judge George Gray, and Assistant Secretary of State David Jayne Hill. Although arbitration by The Hague Convention has been urged on the country, Venezuela is opposed to such arbitration.
