9 Groups Ask Hoover to Withdraw U. S. from Haiti
THREE DEFINITE
ACTS ASKED IN
MEMORIAL TO
EXECUTIVE
NEW YORK, Dec l<i Nine or
ganizations have united in a Memo
rial to President Hoover asking that
U.S. financial domination of Haiti
be ended forthwith, 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Marines be withdrawn, and that a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 behalf
of t'/e 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 I. Israel
Fellowship of Reconciliation, by
J. B. Matthews, secretary.
League for Industrial Democracy,
by Harry W. Laidler. executive di
rector.
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People, by
Walter White, secretary.
National Association of Colored
Women, by Sallie W. Stewart, presi
dent.

Service ( by Winifred Chappell,
secretary.
National Urban League, by L.
Hollingsworth Wood, president

Withdrawal Important
The Memorial, commending the
tens thus far taken to restore Hai
sovereignty, urges further
‘ons saying: “Most important is
withdrawing 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 this
countrv. 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
forced 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 ol
Haiti has repeatedly given assur
ances to the American government
that in the event of war no foreign
power would be permitted 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 Occupation 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 vO aid in collecting debts to
private citizens. To end that Oc
■ upatioi. would be the only 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 tc-
Haiti: ”1. Complete restoration of
financial 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 botn
nations.”
Three Murders

The police car, which was operat
ed by patrolman S. L. Ivy. was
slowed up to avoid a collision.
A chase was continued out Mag

Greensferry avenue and on into

The chase proceeded at a high
rate of speed. When the fleeing

Flees on Foot
One of the inmates leaped Robt
Nelson, 103 Chapel street, from the
wrecked car and fled on foot with
officer Ivey close behind him and
G. O. Jenkins also giving chase.
The officer said he shouted to the
fleeing man several times to stop
but no heed was paid to his com
mand, when he had almost over
taken him the fleeing man sudden
ly came to a halt and turned umm
the patrolman with a knife. The
patrolman fired one shot striking
the man in the chest and coming
out at his side.

' trained pupils. The principal was
spellbound Wednesday evening af
ter listening to such an excellent
program. He asked Mrs. White how
she put over such a good program.

asked ?.Ir Gideons to present three
tokens to three students who had
I i perfect attendance record.

EAST FUINT NEWS
Dear Subscribers:
There comes a time in the course
of all activities when a special es
fort is to be made and that time
has come to me. For almost two
years I have served you wisely and
well. 1 have tried to hold you up
when you were down and out and
now I want you to support me. 1
have never refused to carry you
over for two or three weeks and
even longer than that and as one
good turn deserves another. 1 .am
kindly asking you to do as much
i<> me as I have done for you.
You know well that when ever I
have to carry you over lor a few
weeks the amount carried over is
marked as a balance against me.
Some of you seem to have the
opinion that when you fail to pay
your bill you are cheating the At
lanta World oul of that much but
you are sadly mistaken you don't
owe the company anything tint
you do owe that much to me. and
I can’t get rid of the balance
charged against me unless you pay
me. I am not asking any of you to
pay your bills in advance, but I am
asking all of you to please keep
your bills paid up to date and
please pay them on time, for I can
not pay the company for your pa
per unless you pay me.
I have been in this business for
some time and have always tried
to please you. At times when the
papers were late I know that I
have been talked about, lied about,
cursed discussed, knocked to the
end of the chapter. Tile only rea
son I am still in this bus.ness is to
serve you and to see just what will
turn up next. "If you can't boost,
for my sake, please don’t knock."
Hoping you a Merry Christmas
and a very Happy and Prosperous
New Year. I am
Very cordially
