PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Nov. B. The American civil administration in Haiti is more oppressive than the military President Dartigenav de- ciared in a 5000 word statement he made today attacking the public serv- ice of Minister Blanchard and John McIlhenny, financial adviser of the black republic.
 The president charged that since American occupation no effective aid had been given Haiti for development of it's agricultural and industrial re- sources as stipulated in the treaty and that no serious measure had been pro- posed with view to replacing Hail trs finances on a treaty solid basis" Mir. McIlhenny is in Washington and the minister declined to be seen.
 The president said that loyal CO., operation, promised by the treaty, should be assured: that peace must be maintained by a national force assur- ing public respect and conscious of it's responsibilities that American mili- tory forces must not intervene in ad- ministrative and Judicial affairs: that the American minister remain within his diplomatic functions and not serve to aid the treaty officials in conflict with the government; that the United States give efficacious aid to develop Haitian resources and put Haitian IT. nances on a solid and durable basis.
 If this program is applied with loy- alty. he added, "the Haitian people Will forget the humiliation brought to all proud people by foreign intervention will accord their confidence, friendship and all their thanks to the great Amer ican people"
 One of the charges made by the president was that a single operation by the financial adviser had cost the neopeI of Haiti the loss of several mill lion francs.
 Lacked Experience
 The functions of adviser, said the president, required great financial ex- perience, which "seems not to have been considered in the choice" and he added:
 "The proof is the unhappy operation of the republics accounts which he conducted last year, despite contrary instructions by the Haitian government he having converted into francs three million American dollars in october 1919, just at the moment when the tendency of the franc to fall was the most marked. at the exchange of nine francs and a fraction for one dollar while shortly afterward the dollar was valued at about 17 francs. This caused us a loss of several million francs"
 Instead of devising 'an adequate sys- tenn of public accountability" as de fined in the treaty. the presiden charged that the adviser brough about the suppression of the chambe of accounts. an old Haitian institu ton.
 sDespite all efforts of the govern ment to re-constitute it in accordanc with the new constitution" he saic "the organ of control had been con stantly refused by the adviser, conse uuently there is no means for the Hai tan people to control their finances taken over entirely by the America officials" A rat killing incident wa mentioned by the president, to sho' hcw Haitian money was spent. AUG the discovery of two cases of plagu at New Orleans, the financial advise in Washington, employed two rs catchers at s25O a month each for Pol An Prince, said the president, whie citv has never known the malady.
 Wasted Millions
 Outside of customs, the presloei said there were no other resourc' left under the treaty to Haiti for fr' disposition toward expenses.
 The financial adviser, aided by II minister and the military authorit s.which on this occasion invoked ma ma tial law. decided that these fun' be remitted to him.
