Against the distributors of these

CAL REFUSES DEMAND
OF HAITIANS THAT
MARINES WITHDRAW
Especial to The Daily wOrkerl

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.
White House visitors asked the
president about the possibility Of
an early withdrawal of the Ameri-
can military forces that have oecu-
pied Haiti since 1916. The execu-
tive replied that this was IAN in
teresting question:" the United
States had merely sent in It's ma
rlnes to safeguard lives and proper
ty and to preserve order, and had
recently proposed to withdraw
them, but the government Of Haiti
had urgently requested that the
North American forces be kept
there.
This was astonishing, unless the
request were very confidential one
by the dummy president, Borno,
who is maintained by American
bayonets at Port-au-Prince. Rus
sells annual report as high COM
missioner Of the country, Just made
public at the state department,
gives no hint either Of an American
suggestion of withdrawal or of
6orno's having braved the wrath Of
his countrymen by asking the ma
-rnes to stay.
Cal Mixed on Geography.
The explanation lies in the fact
that the 100 marines in Nicaragua
were ordered to withdraw, some
time ago, and were left there an adj
ditionaI six months at the request
of the Nicaraguan government. MIR.
Coolidge cannot remember Latin
American geography. When asked
about Nicaraguan affairs some
months ago, he described the af-
fairs of Honduras.

perience in the past three years that
everything is improving and getting
better. travelled over 10000 miles
of railways, twice to the Caucasus,
and five times over the Siberian rail-
road to the North and West.
Railways Repaired
Every time go thru conditions are
improved and growing better. You
can eat Crimean apples and grapes on
the shores of Lake Baikal and even
in Vladivostock, over 10000 miles
away, and yet they do not cost much.
You can get a pound of apples in Via
distock for only so kopeks, even in
January or February.
1t is the same way with the prole-
tartan owned railways Of Red Russia.
The Russian railways have improved,
and no longer need the help of the

All the bridges destroyed by the

with one exception-the bridge near

this summer.
