For more than a hundred years the Haitians main
tanned their independence and their government sus-
tanned diplomatic relations with the leading countries
Of the world including the United States. All nations
respected the independence OF Haiti and no attempts
were made 10 invade her territory or interfere with her
internal and domestic affairs.
Haiti was recognized as a sovereign and indepen-
dent state and took part in international conferences
and furnished one or more judges for The Hague Tri-
bunal. Many OF her people were educated in France
and a considerable portion Of the Haitians attained a
high state Of culture.
Like many Of the Latin American states revolutions
occurred. They were usually, however, unimportan:
and frequently ~bloodless.
Prior to 1914 some American banking interests and
capitalists had acquired interests in Haiti. and dis
putes arose concerning certain contracts for the con-
struction Of railroads by American capitalists.
The United States, in 1914 and early in 1915. sent
a number Of persons to Haiti proposing treaties which.
in effect, would have deprived Haiti of her indepen-
dence and subjected her to American rule. The Haitian
government r~epulsed these proposals, declaring tina:
the Haitian people would not place themselves under
the control Of any country.
IN the summer Of 1916, the United. States sent war
vessels to Haitian ports and landed n large force az
marines upon Haitian soil. Possession was taken by
military force Of the country; the Haitian government
was overthrown; martial law was declared; the Hal
tian constitution a~brogated; the two legislative bodies
Of Haiti driven from their chambers by American bay
onets and a new constitution, prepared in the United
States, proclaimed and a treaty forced upon the Hal
tian people.
These proceedings of the United States, in my opin-
ion, were wholly without justification and the over
throw Of the Haitian government and the subsection
Of Of the Haitian people to American military rule
constitute a fragrant wrong and an unjustifiable at
tack upon a weak nd struggling people.
The so-called treaty was forced upon the Haitians
by the superior military power Of the United States.
Under its provisions as interpreted by the United
States, Haitian independence was lost and Haiti be-
came subject to American military rule.
There were more Haitians killed by the armed forces
of the United States during the period OF occupation
than were killed during most of the revolutions which
have occurred in Haiti during the period OF a hundred
years.
