SummaryResumen

The *Chicago whip* reported on continued resistance to the U.S. occupation of Haiti, mocking claims of mutual devotion between Haitians and military authorities while officials acknowledged that ending martial law would spark immediate revolt. The paper published a statement by Haitian Hague delegate Pierre Hudicourt, who traveled to Washington to formally protest the occupation before the Senate. Hudicourt condemned the invasion as an assault on national sovereignty driven by foreign commercial interests and urged the American public to demand military withdrawal.

El *Chicago whip* informó sobre la continuada resistencia a la ocupación estadounidense de Haití, ridiculizando las afirmaciones de afecto mutuo entre haitianos y autoridades militares cuando los propios oficiales reconocían que el fin de la ley marcial desataría una revuelta inmediata. El periódico publicó una declaración del delegado haitiano ante La Haya, Pierre Hudicourt, quien viajó a Washington para protestar formalmente contra la ocupación ante el Senado. Hudicourt condenó la invasión como un atentado a la soberanía nacional impulsado por intereses comerciales extranjeros e instó a la opinión pública estadounidense a exigir la retirada militar.

Haitians who in turn love their mili

tary masters; and that were it not for

a small band of agitators the love

Would be unanimous. Asked whether

martial law could be lifted from the

“simple, kindly, gentle, and generous"

people, as Senator McCormick rails

them in his preliminary report, these

Senators answer, echoing the military I

men, “By no means, there would he

instant uprisings against us." How

completely this proves the mutual de

votion of Haitians and Dominicans

and their armed custodians!'1

Delegate to Hague Denounces

Invasion

The Association made public a

statement by M. Pierre Hudicourt,

Haiti’s delegate to the Second Hagus

Conference and former head of the

bar association in Haiti's capital city.

Port au Prince. M. Hudicourt, who

is in New* York on his way to Wash

ington to make additional protest to

the United States Senate against

American occupation of his country,

made the following statement:

"In my capacity as Haitian delegate

to the second conference at (he Hague,

where I signed all the conventions

there adopted. I am obliged to pro

test against the had faith of the Amer

ican government which, under pres

sure of financiers and business men

decided to invade Haitian territory

and to destroy our national independ

ence. Our independence, like that of

America, was conquered at the price

of our best blood and the greatest

sacrifice' My hope is to move the

America people as profoundly as

possible to decide their government

to accomplish the only possible art of

justice to Haiti, which is to retire
