It is a mistake to assume that the palace revolution in
Haiti that ousted Eli Lescot from the presidency of the island
was a people’s rebellion. At hand is information that instead
of the long-awaited uprising of the common man, the revolu
tion was strictly a class matter in which differences between
M. Lescot and the Haitian intelligentsia blossomed forth into
violence and armed activity. Lescot
ia now in exile in Montreal, Canada,
after escaping from his country.
Haiti is now under the rule of a six
man military cabinet appointed by
the military Junta which overthrew
the president of the Republic.
What the future portends, no
one knows. It ia known, however,
that the plight of the Haitian
peasant remains the same, thus
linking him with peasantry the
world over, whether Ethiopian,
Liberian, Chlneae, Indiaa, Bur
mese, Mexican, Indonesian or
the black peaaantry of America’s
Southland.
Lescot, like Haile Selassie in
Ethiopia, Chiang Kai-Shek in
China, William V. Tubman in
Liberia, and other rulers in coun
tries composed of dark-skinned
peoples, was far removed from the
poverty, heartaches, and hopeless
ness that characterises the life of
the common man, the peasant.
Ho lived and moved in a world of
gilt-edged glamor; a world of
plenty that provided the highest
typo of education and culture for
his children, which gave him per
sonal opportunities to really enjoy
life. As such, he was akin to a king
like Haile Selassie, whose daily life
does not bring him in close contact
with the millions of underprivileged
