- 8 -shall be necessary proper communication means to ease the mobility of labor and attenuate to the price fluctuations. These facilities make it possible to decide on the geographic implantation of new industries and on the extent to be given to the development of various zones in line with the all our program.These shall be considered:a) The asphalting or cementing of all main roads; the stonning of all secondary roads, and the construction of new roads.b) The construction of telephonies to join certain commodity-producing centers to urban centers.c) Organization of an adequate railway system.d) Nationalization of general transportation (transport en commun).As for marine transportation, our country has not yet exploited its insular position and its geographic situation. Rather than developing normally, our coasting-vessel is jeopardy for lack of well equiped dry docks, also due to the insufficient technical preparation of our sailors. Yet, the marine way remains the cheapest in internal trade.We shall consider the creation of a Navigation School, the acquisition of a merchant Marine for external trade, and we shall give such facilities as can facilitate the modernization of the coasting-vessels, the opening of new ports for external trades; the construction of a modern and free port in Port-au-Prince to serve as warehousing for goods consigned to certain south-American countries, also the repair and modernization of our existing ports.In the field of air-transportation, these shall be created a national airline to link Port-au-Prince with foreign cities. Shall also be created airports in the large towns of the republic.It is obvious that the success of this program which calls for disbursements amounting to around one billion five hundred millions dollars ($1.500.000.000.-) over 25 years, shall depend largely upon the competence of all engaged in the Public Administration.We shall also concentrate our efforts on the following points:a) Complete autonomy to the Communes. The Council of Notables shall be re-established on new basis in both the Commune and the Village (rural section). Periodic Congress between the Mayors of a same Department and the different officers of this Department shall make possible the preparation of local programs of which the execution shall promote the general plan.

-9-b) Organization of the Administrative career which shall be free from political influence. A law shall fix the status of public officers;c) Remodelling of our different codes to adapt them to the present economic and social conjuncture, and the adoption of each measures as can speed up legal decision;d) Complete emancipation of women who shall be able to fill the same administrative and technical positions as men, inasmuch as they are qualified;e) Technical assistance shall be requested from the following International Institutions: FAC, CEU, BIRD, FMI, and BID towards a complete remodelling of public administration, mainly for the adequate execution of the general plan.f) Remodelling of National Education, for Education is basic for the success of all actions undertaken by the community. The remodelling of our universities and the new orientation to be given to our Primary, Secondary, Superior and Professional Schools shall be in line with the formation of our technicians and our Philosophic of Education;These are, briefly, the various phases of the programs intended to change the social and economic structure of the country.Ever since the conquest of his independence, the Haitian, to-date, has been sufferings morally as the result of an excessive discrimination; physically because of a criminal misunderstanding and a generalized corruption, so much so that the impression remains this corruption, has been made a political system.A new concept is imperative to assure the normal distribution of the National riches. A new concept of which the conoration shall be accomplished by the sound portion of the country jointly with the specialized agencies of the United States Government.

# FRIDAY 24th August 1962CLEMARD JOSEPH CHARLES, a pioneerbyEMMANUEL C.PAULIf the competitive communities are so dynamic and impose by the rate of their cycle of evolution, it is because, to the end, their social struggles result into economic terms through the production of valuable men superior to their consumption.Because we failed to draw up our balance-sheet at each epoch of our life, we do not seem to understand that we are arriving at inverse reports. Our bachvaraness is the result of this negative unbalance between the production and the consumption of our valuable men.We should be concious of the urgency if not to change our method of struggling, at least to come up with superior principles susceptible of making our struggles less nocive and much more profitable to the community. On this point, the example offered by more advanced countries of which we are copying the bad sides can be of service to us. To decrease the rate of consumption of our valuable men in order to increase their production in the course of time is to learn to appreciate, then to utilise and to respect them. We shall, thereby, create the condition that will preserve and fecundate them.We know, indeed, that it is extremely hard to come to this reasoning, it is much more difficult to adopt it as the motto of our collective behavior. We are only a few to grasp this thruth because this phase of our social competitions results into a mass of historic factors. The first effect of our internal divisions generated by colonialism and fed up, afterwards by the old regime of oppression was the creation, at the various levels of our societies of a complex of self destruction, that turned into a social cannibalism. In the production of this event where everyone, without undergoing in any way the influence of a mystic or of a superior principle, is moved while believing he is moving towards his rightful interest, one has the impression that the community is unable to find it was without the help of a trustee, hence the implicite or public acknowledgement of the superiority of the former boss.These truths that are found in filigree thoughout the pages of modern and contingenary history of colonialism should rouse the Haitians' thought in orar that thay may endeavour to increase their national potentiallities and over appreciate and respect their social values..../..

Of course in the political, military and intellectual domain we have had real stars. However, our economic and social history is rathor poor on a certain point of view. This means that very few are those who, in spite of numerous obstacles, have succeeded by notably increasing the national economy and improving the living condition of our people. Our understanding of the "Benevolent State" requires that this objective be its main job.There have been numerous attempts, indeed. Comes to our memory Pantaléon Quilbaud, the tobacco king during the time of our youth, but at last! just fugitive attempts! If this is the case and of we really love this country we wish to be fully ours, our duty is to tie up the old man binding us, and meaning hatred, seanness, above all, envy. Then we will limit the consumption of our valuable sen.Hot so long ago, we have written an article about Dr.Day when his laboratory was consumed by fire. We did it then because in our opinion, for tro generations, this nane stood as the sunbol of continsity for the community. In the same spirit, we would like to evoke a new name, another social value who deserves admiration. This name is Clonard Joseph CHARLES.This emersion dates back from yesterday, and yet, he is already a pioneer. Dark, average in size. Quick yes under a boad forehead which is already graved by a prema- ture baldness. This is his phisical stature in brief. Still young, only 39 years of age. Clenard Joseph CHARLES was born in Gonaives in April 1923 and is proud of his peasant origin. It was in this town that he received bis primary and secundary educa- tien, at the "Frères de l'Instruction Chrétienne" and the "Lycée Geffrard" Schools. It was also in this Artibonite that he began the struggle for life, first as a rural teacher. His father's death in 1939 marked a stage in his life. He had to take over the heavy responsibility of meeting his family needs. Charles then proved to be a disciplined man and became successively craftsman, plantation supervisor, without giving up intellectual studies; he ventured in journalism as an amateur. As a progres- sivenind, he strongly believes in the value of effort. From one activity, he goes to another and is never discouraged by obstacles. He is a man who searches his way and is determined to find it. In 1947, be, was General Controller of the Banana Industry in the south and the year after, he was appointed General Agent for a Corporation. Hie numerous contacte gave him at this time sufficient business experience for his te undertake his own businase. In 1943, he settled se Manufacturer's Agent and dealt in import-Export.

-3-teacher of the year 1939 is already well know as an experienced businessman, andhis relations overseas are such that in 1953, he was appointed as a member of anEcononio Mission sent to London by the Government. Ed did so well that one year la-ter, he vas enousted by the Government with the mission of negociating a contrastwith the General Electric of Coventry for the improvement and extension of our tele-communiostion system. In 1957, as a member of another mission, he took past in theInternational Conference in Brussels. In the meantime, Clemard Joseph CHARLES devo-ted himself to various commercial and industrial activities. His life is sharedbetween his office in the Capital City and numerous trips in the country where hekept inquiring on possibilities of investment. Whenever you happen to meet him, hespeakes of new projects for the development of the country. His waiting-room isalways full of people either awaiting instructions for the countries, or agents,also of other people asking for credit. Among his enterprises we note the UniversalEnterprise Co. (USACO) the National Deutsch Associates, The Cotton Industry in theSouth and Charles-Kews & Co., without mensionning the branches of his store, AllThese activities do not hinder an from representing the General Electpic Co., Ltd.of London and the Siemens Sohukert Werke Co.But the masterpiece of his life as a businessman was the creation in 1960 ofthe Commercial Bank of Haiti, a project he had long been dreaming ofi His initiativeranks him as a great Pioneer. The Commercial Bank of Haiti is the first private Hai-tian Bank. When one reals that the National Bank was redeemed only in 1949 to beco-ne property of the Haitian State, then one will realise the amount of daring throughs,tenacity and broadness of view it took Clemard Joseph CHARLES in such a place tomaterialise this creation that will have a part in the Roonomic History of our coun-try. Clenard Joseph CHARLES is the image of a new type of businessaan we did notknow before. He broke up with the low customs of tradesmen, these brokers who findthemselves selfishly satisfied with profit margins which the accumulate in banksabroad and who begin again the routine each year. The reason for the backvardnessof sur masass is that they do not have the support of an enterprising bourgeoisiecreating welfare opportunities. Charles believes that it should not be left to theState alone the duty of promoting the economic development of the country. He ivell avare of his alssion and he knows that he must give a hand to the less fortuna-te enes to help thoir evolution. Therefore, this Commercial Bank that has met withso sual succese in so short a time is the conter of multiple activities profitableto many people with low pay. If we do not loose faith in this country and that vebelieve in its potentialition, then we believe that a Pioneer as Clemard JosephCHARLES ought to be better known in order to be better understood and encouraged..../..

The files of another Office of this Agency contain the following pertinent information regarding Subject more recent than that contained in EDCSDB-315/00977-64 dated 9 October 1964, subject: Inquiries Regarding the Possibility of Buying Aircraft for Haiti.2. According to an unevaluated report dated 14 April 1966, from a United States national with forty years' experience in the tobacco industry who makes frequent trips to Latin America and who is considered a shrewd observer, which contained biographic information, concerning Subject, CHARLES was specifically referred to as President DUVALIER's banker and financial manager. Subject was regarded by Source as being "very close to the Palace" and as having ready access to DUVALIER. Source described Subject as a "crook and poor liar; in other words, truly a Haitian political character and not to be trusted under any conditions." Subject had mentioned to Source his activity in 1954 as a negotiator on behalf of the Haitian Government with the General Electric Company of England for modernization of Haiti's telecommunications system. As a result of this contract, Haiti experienced one of its greatest political scandals, for the contract was for 4 million dollars, and the actual delivery of products was only 1 million dollars. Source observed that CHARLES was president of the Haitian Banana Corporation which was originally operated by Eric TIMSIT and Colonal FROGER, and subsequently went bankrupt because of financial mismanagement. Further, Subject had headed the Essential Oils Company since the death of Senator Louis DEJOIE. Source was satisfied that those companies headed by Subject were actually owned and/or controlled for the benefit of DUVALIER. At the time of the report's CHARLES' principal assistant in the tobacco industry was Henry ABCLAIN, who.FILE IN 201-357022SECRETNO FOREIGN DISSEMUS COPY 201-357029
