WASHINGTON, May 7.-American
intervention and administration in
Hayti were defended by Robert Ian
sing, former Secretary Of State, in d
letter to Senator Mccormick, Republi-
can, of Illinois, chairman of the Senate
committee investigating Haytian af
fairs. made public to-day.
Establishment Of peace and prosper
ity in Hayti and blocking of German
designs and aggression threatening the
United States and the Monroe Doctrine,
were declared by Mr.. Lansing to be the
motives behind the American policy.
The two dominating ideas Of the Ameri
can procedure, Mr.. Lansing said, were:
a. To terminate the appalling condi-
tons of anarchy, savagery and oppres~
sion, which had been prevalent in Hay
ii for decades, and to undertake the
establishment of domestic peace in the
republic in order that the great bulk
of the population, who had been down
trodden by dictators and the innocent
victims of repeated revolutions, should
enjoy prosperity and an economic and
industrial development to which every
people of an American nation are
entitled.
Foreign Menace Blocked

by q foreign power TO obtain q foothold
on the territory of an American nation
which, If seizure Of customs control
bv such power had occurred, or II
grant Of a coaling station or naval Dase
had been Obtained most certainly
would have been a menace to the peace
of the Western Hemisphere and IN ma
grant defiance of the Monroe Goo
trine."
Landing of American naval forces in
Hayti in 1915, Mr.. Lansing stated, was
an urgent necessity, as, ne sa'o'
"anarchy and revolution were IN 1ull
sway. with Americans imperillcd and
the French Legation violated by a mob
which captured and murdered former
President Sam. If the United states
had not intervened other foreign ma
tions would have done so, Mr.. Lansing
said and to have permitted suc1 tor-
eign Intervention would have meant
abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine.
'The United States had to act and to
act with vigor.' said Mr.. Lansing.
German aggression IN HayQ also "Go
a serious factor and one not generally
known, Secretary Lansing continued
stating that Germany sought naval
base Concession from the haytians at
Mole st. Nicholas. base which would
have threatened the American position
in the Caribbean and also would have
violated the Monroe Doctrine.
German Activities Charged
There was good reason to believe
said Mr.. Lansing, that in the years
1913-'l4 Germany was ready to 60 to
great lengths to secure the exclusive
customs control Of Hayt! and also to
secure q coaling station az Mole 81.

One reason given for the expsct-

is that the dates set for the

Another factor which Is being
taken into consideration 10 the
