HAITIAN CH|DES
= BUTLER ANEW
ON MEDAL
BeIlegarde Quotes From His
Book; Award Termed Cheap
Gesture by Government

Dantes Bellegarde, Haitian min
liter to the United States, ap-
parently is headed toward a
head-on collision with the Ameri-
can Government that may result
in his recall from the local Diplo-
matte Corps.
Just at the nome; when the
State Department was ready to
call his title when Gen. Smedley
Butler a closed incident, Belle.
garde yesterday threw more fuel
into the flames of the Fort Riviere
controversy.
Quotes Book He Wrote
The manner in which he did it
was devious, however. He referred
to a book which he wrote in 1929,
had his secretary translate some
of its passages for the benefit of
newspaper men, and developed
the allegation that the preSenta,
tiOn of a medal by the Haitian
government to General Butler was
merely a cheap gesture on the
part of his government.
After it had been presented to
the general. President Darti-
guenave is described as bursting
out laughing" and thus explaining
matters to his cabinet:
"Well, what is the matter?
The liberty of the gold impOrta-
ton (which Haiti was hoping to
get from the United States) is
worth a medal. General Butler
will not carry back to the State
Department anything but this
toy. Let us hope that will be
sufficient"
Cabinet "Scandalized"
The Haitian cabinet was "sur-
prised and scandalized" by the
award, Minister Bellegarde says in
his book. The citation was given
to General Butler merely because
the President of the Republic
hoped it would have the effect of
removing American pressure upon
Haiti to pass a law prohibiting
gold importation into that country.
In the meantime numerous ad-
ditional witnesses are coming to
the fore to substantiate the fact
that Fort Riviere did exist and
was captured by Marine force
I1ndeT. General R11tler
No representations have been
made by the State Department
to the Haitian Minister so far.
But it seems certain that some
will be made in view of the
