A sharp split seemed to be

developing among other foreign

ministers on what to do about

the Venezuelan-Dominican dis

pute. in which Venezuela has

charged the regime of Domini

can Dictator Raphael Trujillo

with masterminding as assassi

nation attempt on Venezuelan

President Romulo Betancourt.

'47 Sanctions Involved

Diplomatic informants said

Venezuela had ready a draft

Yesolutlon asking to invoke all

sanctions in the 1947 Rio

Treaty short of armed inter

vention. The treaty says the

ministers, by a two-thirds vote,

can suspend diplomatic re

lations and impose communi

cations bans, but this has

never happened.

Dominican Foreign Minister

Porflrio Herrera denied the

Venezuelan charges and said

in a news conference late yes

terday he had some surprise

testimony and proof of his own

to submit.

Venezuela’s call for sanctions

is supported in varying degrees

by a substantial number of

Latin-American nations, in

cluding those which have

broken off relations with the

Dominican Republic. Bat a

number of others, including l

Uruguay, Chile, El Salvador;

and the United States, are ad

vising a more cautious ap

proach.

U. S. “Sanction” Cited

One argument against eco

nomic sanctions is expected to

be that the United States, in

effect, already has applied them

by not buying about 300,000

tons of sugar which the Domin

icans could ship as a result of

the cut in Cuba’s quota to the

United States.

Also affecting the situation

is the fact that the ministers

next week are slated to con

sider extra-continental—mean-

kitchen-fresh unci couldn’t taste better!
