EXECUTIVE
NEW YORK, Dec 16.-—-Nine or
vanizations have united in a Memo
rial to President Hoover asking that
U.S. financial domination of Haiti
be ended iforthwith, that the US.
Marines be withdrawn, and that a
new treaty be negotiated with the
consent of the legislatures of both
nations.
The text of the Memorial has been
sent to President Hoover in behall
of te signing organizations, by
Walter White. secretary of the N.A.
A.C.P., the signers being as follows:
American Civil Liberties Union,
by Roger Baldwin.
Central Conference of Jewish
Rabbis. by Rabbi Edward L. Israel
Fellowship of Reconciliation, by
J. B. Matthews, secretary.
League for Industrial Democracy.
by Harry W. Laidler, executive di
rector.

Women, by Sallie W. Stewart. presi

Service( by Winifred Chappell.

Withdrawal Important
The Memorial, commending the
tanc thus far taken to restore Hai
ian Sovereigntw urges further
tans saying: “Most important is
vithdrawing financial control and
‘he armed forces of the United
States. It is obvious that no genu
ine sovereignty can be exercised by
Haiti as long as these two most vital
functions of government are In
American hands.
“At present the Haitian govern
ment cannot appropriate a dollar
for any purpose without the con
sent of our financial adviser. On
October 26, 1931, the Financial Ad
visor in conjunction with the Unit
ed States Minister even dared to
try to force the government of Hai
ti to accept their dictation by with
holding all Haitian salaries. We
urge that control of the financial
of the Republic of Haiti, including
‘he customs, be restored without
delay to the Haitian government.”
The Memorial recites that the en
tire foreign debt of Haiti to tnis
country, privately floated through
the National City Bank, is but 15
million dollars, on which all inter
est and amortisation payments have
been promptly made. Financial su
pervision over Haiti until the ex
piration’ of the loan in 1952 “was
‘orced upon Haiti by the Occupa
tion.” says the Memorial.
Not Needed
The Occupation is not needed to
protect the Panama Canal, says the
Memorial, since “the Republic of
Haiti has repeatedly given assur
ances to the American governmenl
that in the event of war no foreign
power would be permitied to es
tablish air or naval bases or coaling
stations in Haiti,”
Treaty “Forced”
The present treaty was “forced”
on Haiti in 1916 and “renewed un
der compulsion to run until 1936."
The Haitian Congress has ‘‘unani
mously repudiated this treaty un
der which the American Occupa
tion has continued, on the ground
that it was never ratified by the
Congresses of the United Staates
and Haiti.”
The present Occupaiion of Haiti
is “charged against us as the chief
evidence of the imperialistic pur
poses of the United States in the
sense that our armed forces are
used o aid in collecting debts to
private citizens. To end that Oc
cupatior. would be the onily effec
ive answer to such a charge which
mpairs greatly our relations with
all Latin-America.”
In conclusion, the Memorial asks
three definite acts with regard to
ITaiti: “1. Complete restoration of
dnancial and political autonomy to
Haiti: 2 Withdrawal of the U. S
Marines now stationed in Haiti; 3.
Negotiation of a new treaty con
stitutionally negotiated with the
consent of the legislatures of botnh
nations.”

car striking his bumver and tear
ing it loose, The driver of the car,
no doubt in experienced, lost con
trol of the car and swerved into a

he worked and when police dis
covered that the new car was his
own mcb violence almost follow

The yuletide spirit was certainly
felt Tuesday evening, We thank
our many visitors. All the senior
high classes had appropraite pro
srams in their rooms which filleg
the air with Yoy and happiness.
Their exhibits were excellent. The
11th grade seemed a bit sad be
cause their lovable teacher had to
be in Nashvillee We hope Mrs.
Stanton will hurry and return to
us. Our Tenth grade has certainly
missed their president, Mr. Mclver,
who is sick. Sadness was cast over
the 10th grade this week over the
loss of one of our best students.
Mrs. Allie Jackson, ons of our lov
able teachers, has certainly work
ed hard with us. The public was
well pleased with our exhibits,
What would Washington Evening

to sce Mr. Gideons smile after (ook

Miss Quarterman, teacher, had one
of the best programs in the school.
Her program was so interesting that
her students would not leave the
room. Her exhibits in geography
were excelent. Her color schemes
were so pretty. Several of our vis:-|
tors spoke to the principal about

terman, because she has a sweet
smile to give us. After our program !
we presented Mr. Gideons with a
lovely gift. Our fifth grade, Miss
Butler, teacher, sent for our prin
cipal to come to our room to hear
sur male quartett. After we sang
for Mr. Gideons he gave an inter

Miss Rubie Wide, popular city

was presented a bheautiful cake,
The exhibits in our sewing clas

Mrs. Moreland. We are proud of
these ladies.
The 7th and 8th and 9th grades
under Mr. Chapman, Mr. Day and
