Washington, D. c., June 30, The
question Of the removal of Captain
Napoleon B. Marshall from his pres.
emit position at the American Lega-
ton in Port au Prince has been laid
before Under Secretary Of State Phil
lips by Charge d. Affairs James G.
Dunn. The Associated Negro Press
can state on most reliable authority
that there will be nothing done on
the matter until after the most thor
ough investigation.
James c. Dunn is native of New
ark. N. j., and came into the diplo-
matte service under the Wilson adj
ministration. He has seen service In
Havana, Cuba, and other sections OF
the West Indies, and has been In
Port au Prince for little over three
years, first as secretary of the lega-
ton, and at present Charge de- AT
fairs.
While II Is understood that Dunn's
chief complaint is that Marshall is
too able a man to be a mere clerk, T"
and that 1t is desired that just an or
binary person, presumably white,
should succeed Marshall, friends Of
Marshall in the United States wish to
find out WHY MARSHALL WAS
THUS ASSIGNED IN THE FIRST
PLACE AFTER HE HAD BEEN
LEAD TO BELIEVE HIS POSITION
WOULD BE ONE OF AUTHORITY.
WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
MIx-UP, AND WHY? WILL 1T BE
ADJUSTED, AND HOW?
Senator Mccormick Authority.
So far as the whole Haitian situa-
ton is concerned, Senator Mccormick
of Illinois has been the one authority
to whom the people have listened,
and to whom they have turned for
first-hand information. The senator
has always suggested pretentious
program for the island republic. Is
the program. so far as Colored Amer
lea is concerned, to fall fiat?
Technically, Marshall's position is
under the State Department, but the
State Department would naturally
give, respectful consideration to sug-
gestions from the chairman OF the
senatorial committee having to do
with the affairs Of Haiti.
Delegation to Haiti.
One of the subjects popularity dis
cussed a few months ago was the
sending to Haiti, through the State
Department, a delegation, committee,
commission or something of that sort.
to study conditions and recommend a
program of cooperative action.
There was. in the first place, a
hitch over what such group should
be called. It was decided that 1t
would, or could, not not be called a
Commission" as that would require
congressional action. But q rose by
any other name would smell as
sweet and so the name feature
was overlooked.
There has been a tentative agree
ment, in which 1t is understood that
President Harding and the State De-
partment were agreed. together with
Senator Mccormick, that the commit
tee would be. composed Of three:
Robert r. Church of Memphis. repre-
sentirg business interests; DR.. r. r.
Motion, of Tuskegee Institute. repre-
senting agricultural Information. and
DE-. U. g. Daley of Chicago. who
should look into the promotion OF
hospitals. Dr.. Motion could not ac-
cept because Of . tour TO Europe, and
Prof. Williams of Tuskegee Institute
was substituted. DR.. Dailey's name
