comments: “The Coolidge-Kellogg ad

ministration showed little zeal in wind

ing up the various American military

‘receiverships’ in Latin America. Our

Marines have been 12 years in Haiti

and far too long in Nicaragua. These

episodes have given good arguments to

those who set up the bogey of American

imperialism. They encouraged our

South American neighbors to hate the

‘Gringo’ and laugh at his claims o t

altruism.”

It is the opinion of the New York

Evening Post that the President has

acted firmly and promptly in the pres

ent emergency and that as to the

Haitian responsibility, “if we had not

taken it, if we had dodged it, we might

reasonably have expected to see a land

ing of French instead of American

Marines.” The Post also states: “We

have done pretty well with it. We have

cut short much of the cruelty and op

pression, we have prevented the shang

haiing of the poor blacks. We have

restored order and made life more safe.

We have built roads, a great system of

transportation, where none had existed

before.”

The Jersey City Journal concludes as

to the situation: “In the meantime.

the process costs us money, costs us

lives of Marines, may cost us ill-will

throughout small nations of Latin and

South America, and certainly provides

substantiation for President Hoover’s

plea that Congress name a competent

commission to investigate and report,

and that Congress then attempt to

provide the nation with a better

thought-out program for the future

relations of the United States with

Haiti.”
