 It is thought probable that before withdrawing it's forces the United States government will renew it's cf- forts to negotiate a treaty with Haiti for the administration of the customs as in San Domingo with a provision Incorporated similar to the Platt amendment in the Cuban treaty whereby the United States would have the right to interevent in the event of disorders Previous efforts to that end undertaken by Paul Fuller, per- sonal emissary of President Wilson to Haiti, failed because he said Pres ident Guillaume would rise against him if he signed the treaty.
