Little Haiti Joins Allies in War Against Huns

tions, but to grow sugar cane requires
time, and II is not certain that there
could be any appreciable addition to
the worlds supply during the remain
der Of the great war. Increased acre
age in sugar cane would, however. be
another guaranty of peaceful prosper
ity in the employment that would be
given to the population.
Germany in the past has taken part
of the Haitian coffee crop. as well as
of the logwood and other tropical
products. This commerce ceased
when the allies established the block
ade which shut of Hamburg from the
trade Of the world. Part Of 1t was
lines. which had theif headquarters
on the Atlantic coast. Some of the
coffee that Germany previously had
taken was absorbed by the United
States, while France increased her I'M
ports. The merchandise which Ger
many had been sending to Haiti was
absorbed largely by this country.
This Haitian commerce is one OF the
economic factors which concerns Ger
many after the war. 1t is true that
Haiti did not furnish raw material
such as copper and iron ore. but herr
tropical products afforded business to
the German steamship hines and also
assured return cargoes of GermaH
merchandise. While Berlin may sneer
at Haiti as military factor and may
affect to forget that she is the twen-
ty-second nation to declare war, her
trade is not SO Insignificant that IL
can be eliminated from the German
calculations concerning world trade
after the war. The German general
staff may not be thinking at all of
Haiti, but the economic staff of the
German empire. which was formed
for the purpose of taking care Of
trade after the war, Is far from ig-
noring the black republic of the West
indies.
The usual question which arises
when q new country enters the war
against Germany Is raised in regard
to Haiti. This relates to her status
in the peace negotiations. Having
declared war. her government will ex-
pect to be consulted in regard to peace
terms. and will be consulted, at least
in SO far as they concern Haiti. The
fiscal protectorate Of the United States
does not affect her standing inter-
nationally. But, as with others Of the
smaller countries on the western
hemisphere. 1t may be assumed that
Haiti will be found in thorough SYM
pathy with the United States. In the
meantime. tho fact that she has for
mally declared war upon Germany Is
not to be ignored in the steady align.
ment Of the nations of the world, big
and little, against Germany.
