MARINES leave
HAITI BY FALL
OF NEXT YEAR
Haiti Signs Treaty
With Washington
For Removal

Washington ID. Can agreement
to withdraw the 500 u. S. Marines
from Haiti within Is months was
made by the American Government
Monday. in treaty with the island
republic. by Minister Norman
Armour. II marks the climax of the
long struggle OF the Haitian people
to gain ultimate freedom from the
rule of American Marines, who
have occupied the island for is
years. and under whose iron regi-
me many natives have been i'm
prisoned and not a few shot down
by machine guns.
Treaty Second Proposed
The treaty just signed was the
second proposed 10 Haiti within
a year. for ending the occupation
OF the island by U. S. forces. The
first. signed in September, 1892,
was rejected by the Haitian Con-
gress, which contended II left
withdrawal OF the Marines IN
doubt and did not improve Haiti's
situation sufficiently
L. y. Loan Not Wanted
American Marines first went to
Haiti I'm 1915, following the reyolu-
ton in which President Guillame
Sam was dragged from the French
Legation and torn to pieces by a
mob infuriated by assassination Of
imprisoned political prisoners.
At that time treaty was signed
! followed by a protocol in 1919
which formed the basis for loan
in 1922. Since then Hatians have
insisted upon revision of the terms
to free their financial administra
ton from American control an
, their country from the foreig
force.
Al About $15.OO0.00O of the Haitia
!, bvds are outstanding. hut Il
Haitian Government has been pa
Ing principal and interest on II
loan. made through the Nations
City Bank. Haitians testified be
fore n Senate committee last yea
that the money was forced upoI
Haiti. which did not wish to Dor
row IL from this Country.
BY the terms of the agreement
signed today, the United States
would turn over the Haitian
"Garde" to native officers by Oct.
l, 1884, and withdraw the marine
brigade of approximately 500 men
within 30 days afterward.
Gen. Smedley Butler, colorful
marine commander. was in charge
of the first occupation by tho
marines.

secretary, presided in the absence
of President M l.. Walker. The in
terview continued for nearly an
hour, all persons present taking
part in the discussion.
In opening the meeting, Mr..
Blount said:
"Mr. Walker, the president OF
fths organization. is out of the city,
and asked me to come in his place.
This meeting hinges on the ques-
ton, was there any discrimination
against this colored boy?"
Mr.. Wall replied, mo. II was not
n matter of discrimination. We put
the proposition up to his mother
and told her. This boy can go IL
he wants to, but there are two in
fluences we want to put before
you. All the other boys are white.
He can go with them, but he may
be lonely" also the econo-
mic condition being as it is today,
would you rather him go. or accept
the money 1t would take to send
him."
When asked how many boys
won? Mr.. Wall said $50 boys
won; 149 went"
After the various representa-
tives of the N. A. A. c. p, and the
Tribune had argued the different
phases of the question, Mr. Wall
finally confessed that he and his
company had acted unwisely In
offering the fifty dollars to the
colored winner. and expressed the
conviction that II would have been
better had the boy gone on the
trip to the worlds Fair with the
white boys
