mnn. and Senators Oddle, Republican,
Nevada; Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio,
and Jones. Democrat, New Mexico,
who have held protracted bearings and
who recently toured Haytl and Santo
Domingo.
Tlie committee found that, on tlie
whole, American administration In
Haytl had been of great benellt to
the Iluytinns and was so regarded, by
a vast majority. Tlie American rec
ord, however, was described tm one
bPtb of “failure" and achievement."
There had been some “blunder*" |nri
a few Instances of cruelty against ha
tlves by members of the military force.
“In brief, under the treaty between
Hayti and the United States,” the re

the solvency of Its government and the
■security of its people have been estab

years."

chronic anarchy Into which Hayti had
fallen, the exhaustion of its credit,
the threatened Intervention of the Ger
man government and the actual land
ing of the French naval forces, all im
periled tlie Monroe doctrine and led
the government of the United States
to take the successive steps set forth
to establish order in Hayti, to help
iifetitute a government as nearly rep
resentative ns might be, and to assure
the collaboration of the governments
yf the United States and Hayti for
the future maintenance of peace and
the development of the Huytian
people."
