the American high commissioner.

Refuse To Obey “Dictator”

“We retuse to obey this dictator

who is not of our people any longer.

All officials from the president down,

even judges, are nominated and put in

office by the executive power, which

is the high commissioner. President

Borno is only a puppet in the hands

of High Commissioner Russell, and the

council of state serve only as clerks

for Borno. It the council of state

dares to elect a president April 14,

instead of permitting a popular elec

tion, United States machine guns will

sink all Haitians in blood.”

Seymour Pradel, chairman of the

National League for Constitutional

Action, representing 150,000 Haitians,

supported the claims ot his compatri

ot. and also warned the commissioners

that if the Haitians could not elect

their own president, they would not

hesitate to shed their blood in pro

test.

“The people know they cannot re

sist machine guns, but rather than live

under the regime of another council

of state they would not hesitate to

offer their breasts to the guns, with

the responsibility resting on the Unit

ed States.”
