New Features of Treaty Are Received

With Appreciation Concessions

New York, Oct. 2.--The concessions
the modified convention recently signed
by the Haitien foreign secretary and
B. r. Davis. American charge d'affaires
in Port Au Prince, give the island gov
eminent a larger voice In the appoint
ment of important oficials. and more
opportunity to act in conjunction with
the U. s. The text of he new treaty
given out today by Ernest Chauvet
Informal envoy Of his government now
in this country, shows that the United
States has seen At to comply with the
request of tho Haitiens that the treaty
be less distatorial IN form and fact"
The principal innovation in the new
convention Is an entirely new article
set at the beginning OF the document
which declares:
The United State. government will
help the government OF Haiti to ef-
fectively develop it's agricultural. min
ing and commercial resources and will
aid 1t in establishing its finances on a
solid basis"
This new addition to the treaty, Mr..
chauvet points out. Ii warmly well
coined by the Haitien people, inasmuch
as they believe that with permanent
order insured in Haiti with the assis-
lance of the United States a new COM
mercial era will be opened In the Is
land 1t is MFR. Chauvet's opinion that
the United States could give the Hal
tien people a splendid proof of its
sincerity in intervening in the island
by following up its military occupation
with an offer of assistance in working
out It's very important agricultural and
commercial problems and by encourag-
ing the investment Of American capital
there to that end.
The most important alteration In the
administration regulations is that in
stead Of the President of the United
States appointing the receiver general
and the financial counsellor. these two
officials will be appointed by the presi-
dent of Haiti on the recommendation
OF the President Of the United States.
The text Of the new treaty specifies
that the financial counsellor, instead
trolIers as provided by the old treaty.
will make known to the secretary of
finance such recommends tons. which
may be Judged necessary for the pros
perity OF Haiti"
These alterations. points out Mr..
Chauvef. though they may not seem
important to Americans and do not

the Haittens to be very important
