Haytian Crisis is Threatening
Monroe Doctrine and May Make
Trouble With Foreign Countries

threatening If it were not for Ger
many. The kaiSer's steamship COM
panies will use the Panama canal
more than any other nation.
Not long ago Germany thought she
would get the good harbOr of Mole
st. Nicholas, twelve hours sail from
the American naval base OF Guam
tanamo. 1t was only by great effort
that Uncle sam prevented the kaiser
from Selling this desirable lit OF
windward passage. 1t was a bitter
disappointment to German sailors,
who are in great need of a coaling
station on the Caribbean.
Then the German bankers placed
two loans with Hayti at frightful rates
of interest. These loans this spring
were on terms so eXtOrtionate that
Wall st. money kings would have been
denounced If they had made them.
Now the Berlin uSurerS are asking the
German government to force payment
and the kaiser's diplomatists are re-
Questing the United States to perform
this service.
the case OF San Domingo crops up
and one that is threatening to the
very life OF the Monroe doctrine.
Germany-and Great Britain and
the other creditor nations back her up
thinks Europe should have a voice
In running the dirty little republic.
She is not willing that the United
States take over the customs house,
as in San Domingo. withhold enough
of the duties to meet bond payments
and then turn the rest To whatever
government is in power. She con-
tends that the United States has no
greater interest in running Hayti than
the great shipping nations of Europe.
That is the situation the United
States faces. 1t is worrying Pres. Will
son and Secy. Of State Bryan and the
two foreign committees Of the house
and senate exceedingly.
A receivership by the United states
isn't such an ideal state either. In
lSO5-O1 the United states put Di-
mlngo through international bank
ruptCy and since then has admin
istered the customs. Presidents have
come and presidents have gone-but
the American marines have kept the
customs houses inviolate. AS a re-
suit the customs receipts leaped
nightly for a while-and the amount
going 10 the government after bond
payment increased. This has had the
effect OF making the supreme control
something more worth while lighting
FOR and presidential regimes have
been short. Instead Of one revolu-
ton. as in Hayti. san Domingo has
six today and plenty OF atesmen"
ready 20 start new ones on few old
rifles and a gunbOat
But the United States had 10 take
over this receivership or see Europe
do IL. Still less would Pres. Wilson
like 10 have German and English
custom officers in Port au Prince, the
capital OF Hayti. 50 disastrous would
such an outcome be considered that
the United States does not wish even
20 have the proposal presented. In
creasing German influence in Hayt IS
viewed with lively apprehension.
The present cycle OF revolution in
Hayti-which is pure black-started
with a revolution last winter against
Pres. Oreste by Sen. Davilmar TheO-
dore and Charles Oreste ZamOr. The
United States supported the Oreste
South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1914-08-05

government but not strongly enough.
Oreste lost heart and abdicated.
American, British and German ma
rines are landed at Port au Prince to
preserve order. Then, as Huerta
turned on Felix Diaz at the end OF
the "decena tragica" Of Mexico City
the Zamor brothers routed the forces
OF Sen. Theodore. OreSte ZamoT
compelled the congress to elect him
president and appointed his brother
minister OF the interior. Sen. Theo-
dOre has continued his revolt" ever
since and the cocos are so numerous
that the operation Of railroads or the
conduct of industries of any sort is
practically impossible.
Meanwhile the United State-aI-
though II refused to recognize Huerta
is supporting Zamor. 1t hopes the
ZamOr government Will get to such
pass that 1t will ask the United
States TO step in and take charge.
Secy. Bryan desires TO have the re-
quest come from Hayti-he would
hate to have to order the marines in
without Hayti's consent.
Conditions in San Domingo just at
present with six revolts against Pres.
Bordas in progress are scarcely bet
ter than in Hayti. The island is one
Of the richest in the world In natural
resources and was a land of plenty
under the Spanish and French. But
now San Domingo has been laid waste
until revenues threaten TO fall below
the amount Il Cessary for the inter
est on gOvernn ent bonds. If this oc-
ours the United States Will have to
step in with a stronger hand
The United States has been I'M
fortunate. to say the least, in its
minister at Hayti, James Mark Sui
Ivan. He's unpopular because he has
consistently supported Pres. BOrdas.
The people OF San Domingo say Bor-
das has never carried out any Of the
promises he made when he came into
power and that sullivan should have
allowed the revolutionists to turn him
out.
