coulQnt do anything but pass new
laws against the press, and arrest
those natives and put them in Jail
without any loyal or legal reasons.
Whereupon Borne, Russell and
Freeman threatened DR.. Millspaugh
and expressed a wich that Mr.. Cum
berland were there. To which DR..
Millspaugh said:
Concerning DR.. Cumberland, my
proud predecessor, we all know that
his millions were made in Haiti with
the rest of you. Don't forget that
he signed the loan of $30,000,000 for
Haiti from he National City Bank,
and he was the first one that took
control of the Haitian custom houses,
the only financial income source of
this republic.
"The Haitian people are still pro-
testing against the millions of dol
lars invested in your so-called
bridges for quick transportation,
which you have put across with the
aid Of DR.. Cumberland. No bride
Ioffers will make me sign. l think it
below my dignity and against my
will. You have said that you will do
all you can to have me lose my job.
/ do not believe that the department
of state, with Secretary Kellogg, will
remove me because of my honesty
because l refuse to sign graft bill,
when I know and every Haitian
knows the existence of such graft.
"But, if am removed, and when
return TO the United States, ii | do
not find some satisfactory consider
alton, I will expose you so that you
viii be sorry, by a detailed report
on the financial and economic situa-
ton Of. Haiti. This report viii
submit to my bosses and the state
department. | also intend to write
book entitled Two Years Expert
cnce with the United States Repre-
sentatives in Haiti"
Mr.. Millspaugh took his silk hat
and walked out.
We, the Haitian Nationalist Pa
triotic Workers and Peasants, that
are the only losers, were anticipat-
ing the end of the entire case. We
wish to inform the American people
that we always have such scandals
in Haiti, which sometimes result in
open fights among the United
States representatives. and the mem
bers of President Borno's admins
tration. The grafters fight among
themselves; each one warts more,
and the result is that the general
public finds out what is doing.
In the case of DR.. Miiispaugh, we
notice that it is the most scandalous
case since United States intervention
in Haiti on July q, 1925. In this
case the highest officials in Haiti,
including the president, are involved,
together with the state department
in Washington. There is nothing to
be said, except that DR.. A. c. Mills
paugh was recalled, that General J.
w. Russell's motion was passed, that
DR.. A. Freeman is still happy and
that President J. L. Borno has moth
ing more to say.
Millspaugh was recalled and ap-
POINTED to be Economic Adviser to
the state department in Washing
ton, D. c., which, of course, proves
that the state department fixed the
matter UP so that no more be said
about it. But we remember the
words of Russell, Freeman and
Rorno, when they said that they
would spend all the money they
made in 1929 to remove Mills
raugh from his job as United States
financial adviser in Haiti, because
he refused to sign the graft report
Russeli's report on Haiti to the
state department is full of lies, while
discriminating accounts, which would
tell of millions of dollars spent use
lessly by the U. S. officials and the
Haitian government, were left out
4 new United States financial ad
wiser, says the Haitian, Raiclas, Wi
soon be sent tr Haiti in Millspaugh
job, with instructions to be quiz
about all that happens and simr
get his part when the graft goes b.
to leave Borno, Russell and Ere
man alone, and to be as good {
DIR. w. Cumberland, who RENAME
in Haiti from 1916 to 1927 and who
has a similar job in Nicaragua
where the marines are killing the
natives to take their money and
lands. .'..i.s.
