OCCUPATION OF
HAITI PROPOSED
Special Senate Investigation
Committee Makes Report
on Conditions.

! WASHINGTON, June 26.-1n-
definite continuance of American
military occupation of Haiti, but
f, with a reduction of the marine
force, was recommended in an un-
animous report presented today
by the special Senate committee
which for months mas been inves-
tigating American administration
in Haiti and Santo Domingo.
The committee deferred an
nouncement of it's findings on
Dominican affairs Tin view of the
negotiations happily begun be-
tween the State Department and
the Dominican leaders looking to
the termination OF military gov
eminent in Santo Domingo
The declaration that early with
t drawal of or drastic reduction in
the American marine occupation
force in Haiti would be followed
certainly by brigandage and rev.
olution was made in the report
signed by Senator Mccormick, Re-
pu blican, Illinois, chairman, and
Senators Oddia, Republican, Ne
vada; Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio,
and Jones, Democrat, New MeXi-
co, who have held protracted hear
ings and recently toured Haiti and
Santo Domingo.
The committee found that on
the whole American administra-
ton in Haiti had been a great ben
eft to- the ,Haitians and was so
regarded, it said, by a vast ma
iority. The American record.
however, was described as one
both of failure and achieve
ment,'' the report stated, adding
that there had been some "blund-
ers" and few instances of cruelty
against natives by members of the
military force.
I'm brief. under the treaty be-
tween Haiti and the United
States the report said, the peace
of the republic, the solvency OF
it's government and the securities
of it's people have been establish
ed for the first time for many
years"
In justification of American in
PREVENTION, the report said that
the chronic anarchy into which
Haiti had fallen, the exception of
its credit, and the threatened in
teryention of the German govern
ment and the actual landing of
the French naval forces, all i'm
periled the Monroe doctrine and
led the government of the United
States. to take successive steps
set forth - to establish
order in Haiti to help institute
government as nearly repre-
sentative as might be and assure
the collaboration of the govern
ments of the United States and
Haiti for the future maintenance
of peace and the development of
the Haitian people,"

Let Unions incorporate.
Then Members Conld Learn What
Becomes OF Their Dues.

To THE New York HERALD; Kindly
allow me 10 make a suggestion which
may help to clear up some misunder-
standing In this matter of seniority
rights There are no rights IN the ques-
ton Seniority is gratuity, not
right.
The men at the head OF these rail-
road unions are professional agitators
stirring up trouble 10 accomplish their
own ulterior motives, a large part of
which concern the check of system. by
which the paymasters of the railroads
may take out of the pay onvelopes the
dues and fines out of which these men
get their salaries. OF course this ne
cessitates a closed shop. which takes out
OF the hands Of the men any choice in
the matter and insures a steady income
for the union and steady salaries for
few men on the inside, who do not have
TO render any account of strike funds.
The remedy is very plain and sim
pie one, namely, compulsory incorpora-
tion. by which the real workinGmen
could be protected from these so-called
leaders. who could be compelled TO stand
up and be counted, and also TO render
regular accounts Of receipts and dis
bursements by competent auditors and
accountants. r. S. B.

From my long association and con-

they are not always safe guides in the

Rural Health Work.

The annual report of the Interna-
feller Foundation remarks with sat
isfaction the extension OF health work
to the country districts of the United
States. The board points out that
the problems created by the conges-
ton of large cities had been receiy-
ing SO much attention that the coun-
try districts had been neglected.
This situation began to be RENE
died when the Southern States un-
dertook to control the hookworm
disease. The fight brought into being
county health organizations for
which the hookworm is now only one
consideration in the general health
program. The value of these organi-
cations soon became apparent and
led to their inception in other States.
The board reports that at the close
of 1921 county programs on a full
time basis were in operation in nearly
United States.
Health work in the cities is now
upon such sound and we'll ordered
basis that every possible stimulus
should be given to its extension into
the country districts. Typhoid fever
is a case in point. In 1920 the rural
death rate for typhoid fever was 9.6
to 100000 of population, as COM
pared with 5.5 in the urban popula-
tion and with 90 in New York city.
The States which have the highest
typhoid fever death rates are uni
formly those with large proportion
of rural population.
The history of the fight against
the hookworm shows plainly what
can. be done toward the improvement
OF health conditions in the rural dis
tricts. The first systematic effort at
control was made in Richmond
county, Virginia, in 1910, with the
help of the Rockefeller Sanitary Com
mission. An infection survey made
that year showed an average infec-
tion of S2.6 per cent. among the
school children. The following year
the infection had dropped to 35.2 per
cent. Last year it was % per cent.
Raising the standards of health in
the rural districts obtains added
Importance from the fact that the
cities are recruited from the country.
There is as much sense in permitting
healthy cities to be surrounded by
unhealthy rural sections as there is
in leaving dozen good apples in
barrel of bad ones.
The New York herald., 1922-08-14
Poe Square and Chatham Street.

Tacitly admitting that the Hub
has not gained in prestige by chang
ing the name of Edgar A. Poe Square
to Matthew. Emmett Ryan Square,
thereby obliterating the sole memo
rial of the fact that an American poet
of worldwide fame was born in Bos-
ton, the Transcript Of that city seeks
consolation in the reflection that
other cities have been guilty of simi-
lar ineptitudes. So far as New York
is concerned the transcripts retort
is, in substance, You're another" in
witness whereof there is an impress
sive specification. The change Of the
name of Chatham street to Park Row
is cited.
The point against New York is we'll
taken. The obliteration OF a street
name associated with our national
history and the substitution there
for of name wholly unnecessary
was an act without justification. The
motives back of the change are of no
particular consequence. One case is
as bad as the other. New York was
bereft of her Chatham street and
saddled with Park Row, which is
not row and which has little asso-
citation with a park. Boston was
bereft of her Edgar A. Poe Square
and saddled with Matthew Emmett
Ryan Square. Neither city wanted
the new names.
And only recently movement was
afoot to wipe the Bowery from the
New York map. That, however, was
going just a little far. The roar Of
protest became too loud and persist
ent to go unheeded. For the time
being at least the Bowery is safe from
meeting the fate of Chatham street.
