N. A. A. G. p. HAITI EXPOSE
/ BEARS NEW FRUIT.
Twenty-four Prominent Lawyers De-
nounce Invasion in Report to Sec.
rotary of State.

The exposure of the conquest Of
Haiti began by the N. A. A. C. p,
has led to a powerful protest by 81
of the most prominent lawyers in
the country, according to announce
mcnt made at N. A. A. c.. p, head
quarters, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York.
Among the lawyers are Moorfield
Storey, former president OF The
American Bar Association and now
national president Of the N. A. Il.
G.. p; Felix Frankfurtcr and Zac-
hariah Chaffec, DR., professor Of law
at Harvard: Louis Marshall of New
York; Nelson S. Spencer, president
of the City Club of New York; Ty-
rcll Williams, dean Of the Washing
ton University Law School at Saint
Louis; Frederick Bausman, former
Judge Of the Supreme Court Of Wash
ington.
The report Of the 81 lawyers says:
The Invasion of the black republic
is Sin violation of our Constitution,
our treaties and of international law"
The lawyers report is accom-
panied by an Address Against the
American Occupant of Haiti, signed
by committee from the National
Popular Government League, consist
lHS VI oHlISNt oClldCOl ltODclU
L. Owen, Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
an others.
This address cites testimony from
the Senate Investigating Committee
bearings, showing that atrocities were
committed by marines in Haiti and
Santo Domingo, including torture by
hot iron and infliction of the "water
cure" and shock by electric wire.
The roads built by the American
Occupation, says the Address, were
largely built by forced labor, and
had the men responsible attempted
any such thing in the United States,
they would have been subject to a
penitentiary sentence"
Both lawyers and signers Of the
Address demand restoration of Haiti
and Dominican Sovereignty over their
own affairs.
