Washington, June 2o.-No Official information mas
been received here Of the mooted Intervention VI
European Powers in Haytan affairs The fact can
not be disguised that the situation in that disturbed
republic is watched with apprehension by TINS GOV
srnmeht but there is still strong belief thaV the
Haytians will be able To restore order without OUTSIDE
Interference As 10 the attitude OF the United states
Government toward the reported contemplated con-
certed action of European nations nothing eau DC
predicted until il is definitely known what shape THIS
action viii assume.
1t is recognized as a fact here that strong
Government is about the only Government that can
maintain order in the small serni-tropica republics
and that unless the ruler adopts the most vigorous
repressve measures his of office and the reign
OF internal peace are apt to be short Consequently
the Government of the United States Is not likely 10
view with unmixed satisfaction the interterepce OF
European Powers in the domestic affairs OF us small
sister republics even when the conduct Of their rueTs
IS repugnant to It's own ideas of fair dealing aho
eomty But II il should be true that the present
uler of Hayt is mentally irresponsible. and mas IN
Justly visited his wrath upon foreign residents OF the
country it is unlikely that the Monroe doctrine viii
be invoked 10 protect him from the consequences OF
his acts II was never maintained that this doctrine
set aside the fundamental right OF nation u pro.
ecf lis subjects from mareatment and the ABUSE OF
their property rights when residing IN another country
and II the proposed European action IL limited 10 the
discharge of duty ii is improbable that any logical
protest could or would be made by the Government OF
Inc United States.
