FINANCIAL DICTATORSHIP
AMERICA AND HAITI.
WASHINGTON, Friday
The Haitian Foreign Minister, charging the United States with maintaining on the island “a financial dictatorship which is a constant source of difficulties and grave uneasiness,” has requested the State Department to permit either the establishment of a new fiscal agency for the payment of Haitian loans from American investors or steps “for refunding the loan before it is due.” The Haitian foreign debt totals fifteen million dollars. The United States placed marines in Haiti in 1915, following the assassination of President Theodore. A treay was recently concluded relaxing American control of a majority of Haiti’s civil services, but the United States asked the marines to remain to safeguard the interests of American investors.
