THE SPRINGFIELD WEEKLY REPUBLICAN: SPRINGFIELD, MASS.: THURSDAY, JANUARY 30, 1930

‘drive their high-powered automo

‘biles over those highways.”

Senator King of Utah, who has

introduced a resolution demanding

withdrawal of the marines and the

calling of a constitutional conven

tion by the Haitians, wants to have

Brig-Gen John H. Russell, the pres

ent high commissioner, recalled and

a civilian appointed in his place. He

stated in an interview the other day

that he believed we are in Haiti

under an illegal treaty and, while

he would not oppose the President's

proposal of a commission of in

quiry, he did not think the commis

sion would find out any facts of im

portance about the situation while

the present military regime exists.

In addition to this testimony and

other items of similar import, there

is the testimony of less colorful wit

nesses to the effect that the Ameri

can administration in Haiti has effi

ciently managed the republic’s

finances and preserved order; that

the courts, administered by the

Haitians, are deplorably inefficient;

that the legislative system, domi

nated by Americans, affords little

opportunity for development of

capacity for self-government; that

the Haitians as a whole are not

sufficiently impressed with the dig

nity of labor, and that agriculture

and industry are suffering for in

sufficient funds for development

There are indeed volumes of tes

timony, not to say evidence, regard

ing the situation in Haiti, and a

good many facts may be accepted as

virtually established, but even Mr

Blaine would be put to it to. formu
