REPORTS HAYTIAN AF-

Says Haytians Have Great De-

New York. N. Y, June 1O.-'T
found conditions in Haiti on account
of the American military occupation
even worse than in the PHILIPPINES
during the ,subjugatlon of those is-
lands: but with the concerted ef-
fort, of the American Negro they can
be bettered."
This was the summing up of a
statement made by James Weldon
Johnson, Field Secretary of the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, to our cor
respondent Mr.. Johnson has just re-
turned from a trip to Haiti, where
he spent six weeks investigating con-
ditions in that country on behalf of
the N. A. A. c. P. Mr.. johnson will
write a series. of articles touching on
conditions and opportunities in Haiti
Il made a comprehensive study of
the political and economic situation"
said Mr.. johnson, and the course
of the next few weeks, ] shall make
public the facts which have collected
through a series of articles and
through public addresses"
Mr.. Johnson continued, IT found
that their social life was that of
most cultured people. 1 looked into
their education and found them max
ing effort to educate themselves and
their children. I found their cities
well built and well kept, and among
the people a desire for good govern
rnent which was not gratified by the
American administration.
THE Haitians expressed a warm
desire for closer relations with the
Colored people of the United States.
They are conscious of their growth
and have a pride in their face. They
look with interest upon the develop
ment of the spirit of civic self-con-
sciousness of the America Negro and
are tremendously interested in any
movements among the Colored people
of the United States which they can
adapt and adopt for their own proper
development. In the same way they
feel that a closer spirit of cooper
alton can be worked out for the mu-
tual advancement of the same race
| in the two countries and they feel
that this must take the form of con-
crete cooperation expressed by means
| Of a congress- or a meeting of minds
| of the leaders of the race both in the
United States and in Haiti. The Hal
tian people would be happy to have
men of their own race. business men,
take advantage of the splendid OPP
portunities for capital and labor now
| being gobbled up by Others"
What Mr.. Johnson will have to say
on the subject of Haiti be most en-
ligtening to the readers of his ar
| ticles and will undoubtedly overturn
many of the current misconceptons
| about this much misunderstood and
little appreciated country.
