Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

The *Norwich bulletin* reported that the Senate investigating committee characterized the U.S. occupation of Haiti as a blend of failure and achievement, acknowledging military blunders and instances of cruelty against natives. The report justified the intervention as necessary to protect the Monroe Doctrine against German influence and French troop landings following the collapse of Haitian credit. However, the committee admitted that U.S. authorities had made mistakes in selecting personnel and defining administrative responsibilities.

El *Norwich bulletin* informó que la comisión investigadora del Senado caracterizó la ocupación estadounidense de Haití como una mezcla de fracasos y logros, reconociendo torpezas militares y casos de crueldad contra los naturales del país.

No obstante, la comisión admitió que las autoridades estadounidenses habían cometido errores en la selección de personal y en la definición de las responsabilidades administrativas.

"In brief under the. treaty between

Haiti and the United States," the report

said, "the peace of the republic, the solv

ency of Its government and the security

of its people have been established for

the first time in many years."

-In justification- of American interven

tion; the report said that "the chronic

anarchy-into which Haiti had fallen, the

exhaustion of its credit, the threatened in
