Although arbitration by The Hague Convention has been urged on the country, Venezuela is opposed to such arbitration.

President Roosevelt informs Speaker of the House Cannon about the proper precedence at the upcoming judiciary dinner. Under ordinary circumstances Roosevelt has heard that Attorney General William H. Moody would be glad to have Cannon take precedence over him. However, in the case of the judiciary dinner, Cannon cannot come ahead of the Justices of the Supreme Court because they are all the guests of honor and it would be a slight to the Supreme Court. In a postscript, Roosevelt explains proper precedence at other dinners he has held.
