United States To Be 'sIts Broth
er's Keeper in Haiti.
Idea viii Set Side by Side With
Monroe Doctrine.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Establish-
lnent by the United States of a new
cardinal principle in international re-
lations, one which will take its place
alongside the Monroe doctrine and the
doctrine of the open door, was seen in
officials circles here today in the new
program from Haiti, formulated by
the special senate COMMITTEES which
has just returned from the Island re-
public.
1.-THE United States is its brothers
keeper when that brother has demon
strated its needs for a keeper That
is the moral maxim underlying the
new program.
It lays down the rule that when a
small neighboring nation after having
its own for a century or more, has
shown itself incapable of working out
its own salvation, the United States
has the right to step in as the .'his
brother" nation and esta blish, with
firm hand modern government based
on modern social and economici
system. -
The new policy, which the commit
tee announced after a conference with
Secretary of State Hughes and Secrer
tary of the Navy DENLY would estab-
fish the United State indefinitely as
guardian and permanently as the pro-
tector of Haiti
The committee suggested that "a
high commissioner be sent to Haiti.
The new policy would have to be rati=
fled by congress.

IS MORE CANCERIIN new PRINCIPLE
Government Figures Show
$4,000 Deaths in 1920.
South Fewer Than North-NO
Difference in Races.

Washington, Dec. 27-Deaths from
cancer in the death registration area
of the United States in 1920 tOtalled
approximately $4,000, according to a
report today by the census bureau
which, on a basis, of proportional
population. estimated the total OF
deaths for the entire country at
$4,000, or an increase of five thousand
from the estimate for 1919.
The upward trend of the cancer
death rate, the report said, is accu-
rately shown by the increase to s3.4
per 100000 population in the regis
tration area in 1920 from a rate OF
sos per 100, 600 in 1913.
Using an adjusted rate for state
and sectional comparisons of cancer
mortality, calculated on an allowance
for difference in average age and sex
distribution of the population, the re-
port concluded that the northern
states have a comparatively high ana
the southern states a comparatively
low cancer mortality"
ATaehg states IN the registration
area, Massachusetts showed the high

while the rate of 459 for South Caro-
lima was the lowest.
Race comparisons for various sec
tions under the adjusted rates, the re-
port said. show the white and negro
races to be equally susceptible to the
