Fresh perplexity therefore faced

President Hoover and the state de

partment, who have met obstacle

eiter obstacle in their quest of world

harmony.

Among the President’s expressed

wishes was the withdrawal, if pos

sible, of at least some of the United

States marines protecting American

interests in Haiti and China, Hut to

day nine women and eight children—

all American citizens—had to be

taken to Port Au Prince because of

the danger of further clashes between

marines and Haitian peasants at Aux

Caycs.

Protection In China

And ?3 out of J30 Americans in

Nanking wore landed at shanghai

because conditions wore such that

martial law had to bo declared in the

strlle-tom Chinese capital.

Instead of possibly withdrawing the

marines from Haiti after an Investi

gation in the Negro republic, as he

suggested) the President was forced to

order additional "devil-dogs” to the

island. Hie general belief is that the

United States will not wish to end its

occupation of Haiti now until there

is some new guarantee that the is

land can remain peaceful on its own.

This implies the setting up of a rep

resentative constitutional government

instead of th# marine oligarchy

which has maintained the present

president, Louts Borno, in power

since 1033.

As for China, the new disturbances

threatening the very heart of the

Nationalist government may cause a

temporary delay in Mr. Hoover’s plan

to withdraw marine forces. Marines

performed good service in protecting

Americans gathered at Shanghai two

year# ago, and it appears they are

needed again.
