In this editorial in The Philadelphia Press, Charles Emory Smith notes that the proposal by England and Germany that President Roosevelt should arbitrate their dispute with Venezuela reflects the growing importance of the United States in the world community and should be seriously considered. It might be better that the United States not be an arbitrator of differences, but remain simply an adviser to the other nations of the Americas. However, if it becomes necessary that Roosevelt act, he will do so with strict justice and to the credit of the nation.
