charges against the marines is

“evasive humbug” is apparently a

rough way of suggesting that the

report does not reach below the

surface to the real issue of method

inquiry desirable.

In a strict sense it seems to be

the fact that Gen Barnett, who in

‘than a hundred years tranquility

‘and security of life and property

‘may be said to prevail in Haiti,” says
