Haitian people and the massacres
past, present and to come of Haitian
workers and peasants.
Borah states: at does seem to
me that if we are going to stay in
Haiti, the least we could do is to
compel the government of Haiti to
be Just and merciful to these I'M
fortunate people" Borah by this,
clearly endorses staying in Haiti,
and cannot plead ignorance of the
fact that the so-called government
of "President" Luis Borno would not
last twenty-four hours if the U. 5.
marines were to be removed, that
the Haitian people never elected Bor-
no, but that he was forced upon the
republic by armed compulsion of the
U, S. marines. Hence all Borah's
crocodile tears about "these unfor-
tunate people" is the dirtiest hypo-
crisy possible, and is deliberately de-
lgned to support the war being
ade at present on the Haitian
I,ople,
This unspeakable Borah is the
same who protested" at marines be-
ing sent to Nicaragua, but after they
were there not only ceased to "pro-
test" but has supported their mas
sacres on the Nicaraguan workers
and peasants. Of a like type are the
hypocritical "oppositionists" among
the fake "progressives" such as
Wheeler of Montana, Blaine 1A~Wis-
consin and all the tribe of t So
called Farm Bloc" Another =
Senator King of Utah, who y on
the last whitewashing comm. !"
that investigated" Haiti five vars
ago, even "criticizes" American oc-
cupation. But King and his kind
have, for all that, allowed occupation
to continue during those five years,
and now King says, II shall support
the recommendations of the Presi-
dent" And the president sends
more marines to commit more muir
ders of the Haitian workers and
peasants!
The Battle at Aux Cages
Only last January, the customary
lying report of Brigadier General
Russell, who rules Haiti with ma
rines under the typically imperialist
title of High Commissioner" stated
that "the ignorant peasant no longer
lacks upon the intervention with dis
lust, but now rather regards it as
II friend" This after the Haitian
Calm that the marines have killed
some $500 Haitian people!
The state department, disappoint-
ed in the effort, so far, Of making
war on the Soviet Union behind
the fuss about maintaining peace
with the Kellogg Pact" gave out
statement admitting that war was
being made on workers and peasants
Of Haiti.
The fact that the cruiser Gal
weston was ordered from Cuba to
Jacmel, together with the report
that arms were reported being
struggled at Jacmel, Haiti, indicates
ttat American Imperialism is trying
to forestall arms being landed In
HAITI from the only neighboring
island not already ruled by the U.
S.. British Jamaica, less than 100
miles away, though reports state
that arms came from Guatemala.
The battle at Aux Cages, as re-
lhrted, shows that while the puppet
orno's officials naturally are aid
the marines against the people,
and that bourgeois elements are
wavering, the peasantry are seeth-
with revolt and ready to fight
with supreme heroism out the
Yankee oppressors, who have robbed
and impoverished them for ID years,
The native magistrate at Aux
Caves, an underling of president"
Borno, informed the marines there
that the countryside was in open
