MR. HAROLD PREECE

lect a debt for Wall street

—a debt that had been

lorced upon the little Ne

gro republic in the first

place. One of the apolo

gists for that disgraceful rape of a

sister republic was the career dip

lomat, Sumner Welles.

The Mr. Welles of that particular

age in human history argued that

the occupation of Haiti was justi

fied because Haitians were Negroes

and therefore “incapable” of gov

erning themselves.

The Mr. Welles of this new age

occupies the same body as the Mr.

Welles of that pirate era when the

Stars and Stripes was planted as

the symbol of "white supremacy'1

on the shores of Haiti, Mexico, Nic

aragua, and the Dominican Repub

lic. But the body seems to have

become endowed with a new soul,

revealed in a new book, “An Intel

ligent America's Guide to the Peace

recently published by Dryden Press

of New York and prepared under

the general editorship of Mr. Welles

Now, I’ve been saying for a long

timein this column that the racism

afflicting many white people is a

disease but not an incurable disease

like arthritis or glioma. Mr. Wel

les proves it. For in this age, the

forces of life are stronger than the

forces of death. The forces of life

are manifest in this book which

tells in warm, human language of

the peoples and the social systems

of SO-odd different countries includ

ing these countries of the Western

Hemisphere which we have come t.>

call the Americas.

No popular book on Latin Amer

ica has recorded the great paper

played by the Negro in the building

of Latin America more sincerely
