BY PROBE REPORT
Native Leaders Are Satisfied
by Commission Policy

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, March 90
Haitian leaders in general expressed
much Subtraction today at the report
of the Hoover Commission and with
the fact that the American President
had accepted the report as the basis
for a new policy in dealing with Haiti
All sides responded with new
enthusiasm to the work of taking over
the government by the Haitian people
in accordance with the commissions
plans.
Despite various rumors of the last
week, indications on both the Govern
ment and opposition sides were that
the election of Eugene Roy as temper
airy president would take place accord
ing to plan and that a peaceful politi-
cal campaign would follow during the
Summer. A-~number of American
civilian employees in various depart
mentS, believing that evacuation of the
island will follow shortly, are preparing
to leave.
Set Great Store in Future.
There was some dissatisfaction among
Haitian leaders over failure to with
draw the Marines Immediately but the
belief was generally expressed that the
new Haitian policy Of the United States
based on the report would mean much
for the future welfare, happiness and
prosperity of the republic. The hope
was expressed that the withdrawal of
the Marines would take place soon.
The section of the Hoover report
dealing with the replacement of
Brig. Gen. John H. Russell. American
high commissioner, by civilian, caused
some mystifiication as he is not serv-
ing any specific term but can be re-
moved any time that President Hoover
desires.
The recommendation of the commits
sion regarding the Office of high COM
missioner suggested that the Office be
abolished at the close of the tour of
duty" of Gen. Russell. The generals
term Of once Is at the discretion of
the President or until the expiration
OF the treaty in 1885. Some State
Department officials indicated that
abandonment of the Office of high COM
missioner would likely be in October
or November, after a duly elected presi-
dent to succeed temporary President
Roy had been inaugurated.
Leger Lauds Report.
George N. Leger, legal adviser to the
federated patriots group, comprising
what Is known as the opposition,
PRAISED the report nlBnly IN general
but criticized the failure to take the
Marines away now.
II am certain the political situation
will be such as to warrant an end to
American supervision in a very short
while" he said. II am very glad to
see the commission follow the indica-
ton given previously to have the mill
tary high commission replaced by a
civilian. was also well pleased to
have the fact mentioned again on
cially that Eugene Roy will be recog-
ntzed by President Hoover as temper
airy president, following his election

evolved by the commission and ap-
proved by President Hoover. I am
certain the elections next Fall will be

GERMAN CENTR|ST
CABINET FORMED
Nationalist Are Stronger in
New GoVernment-0Id
Members Remain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 29.-After more
inter-party wrangling than had been at
first expected, DR.. Heinrich Bruenllng,
Centrist party leader in the Reichstag,
today got together a new coalition
government to succeed that of Heinrich
Mueller. who resigned this week.
The list of ministers submitted by the
new chancellor to President Won Hin
denburg shows a definite shift toward
the right of the Reichstag.
Though the political center of gravity
in the government now is nearer the
Nationalist, the retention of DR.. Julius
Curtius at the ministry of foreign
affairs gave assurance that Germany's
foreign policy would not be changed
from that inaugurated by the late
Gustav Stresehnann.
In addition to Chancellor Bruening,
there are only three new faces in Ger
manys new government. All the other
ministers served with ex-Chancellor
Mueller.
Martin Schiele, minister of the in
terror In 1925 and of agriculture IN 1927,
will have the agriculture post IN the
Bruening coalition. His inclusion is re-
garded as an important tactical victory
for the chancellor.
The other two changes from the
Mueller cabinet are Johannes Brett, who
takes the ministry of justice, and
Gottfried Treviranus, who will serve as
minister without portfolio.
There are now four Centrists, two
Populists and one representative apiece
from the Democrats, Peoples Conserva-
tive party, Nationalist, Bavarians and
the Economic party.
Chancellor Bruening is credited with
great diplomatic clevernesS in managing
TO satisfy the friends of the Conservate
Treyiranus, who was commander of a
torpedo boat during the war and has
been identified with the Nationalist,
without giving him either the ministry
of foreign affairs or the ministry of the
interior.
