Published in Papers Before
President Had Seen 1t,
Is Assertion.
SCORCHIN3 NOTE ISSUED
Message Also in Error
Says Secretary Early
in Statement.
By United Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-
Indications point to publicity
purposes" behind the tele-
gram of Colonel Charles A.
Lindbergh to President RooSe-
welt protesting cancellation of
air mail contracts, it was said
at the White House today.
The making public of the Lind
bergh telegram in New York City
before it had been seen by President
Roosevelt brought forth today from
Stephen T. Early, White House Sec
rotary, a formal statement.
Mr. Early cited the method en-
ployed in making public the mes
sage from the flier and added that
it would be referred to Postmaster
General James A. Farley and Sec
rotary of Commerce Daniel G.
Roper.
Statement Is Issued
Mr.. Early's statement:
Except when the senders of tele-
grams or other communications act
primarily for publicity purposes,
the common practice is to allow the
President, when he is addressed by
them, the courtesy of receiving and
reading their communications be-
fore they are read by others than
the person addressed.
In this instance the giving out
of telegram which bears the name
of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, by
his attorney and legal adviser,
Colonel Henry Breckenridge, would
indicate the message obviously was
sent for publicity purposes-at least,
it was published before it was re-
ceived by the President.
1.-THE Presidents executive order
under date of Feb. 9 was issued
after the postmaster-gener advised
the President that all domestic air
mail contracts for carrying the
mails have been annulled.' The
postmaster general annulled these
contracts.
Telegram in Error
Colonel Lindberghs telegram is in
error in that it states the President
ordered the cancellation of all air
mail contracts.
Colonel Lindbergh's telegram will
be referred to the poStmaSter-gen-
eral and to the secretary of COM
merce for consideration and action"
A check-up revealed that the
Lindbergh telegram was not received
at the White House until 1915
o'clock last night. The message,
however, had appeared in news
papers, editions of which came out
about that time, indicating that it
was made public some time before
from the office of Breckenridge.
Officials continued with speedy
preparations for operation of the
air mail by the army.
Roper to Report Later
The inter departmental aviation
committee recently created by
President Roosevelt met to go over
the arrangements. Chairman Roper
will report later to President Roose-
welt.
Major General Benjamin Foulois,
chief of the air corps, conferred
with Edward j. Hamilton, Wash
ington representative of the Air
Mail Pilots Association, on plans
for army employment of pilots who
may be dropped by the private
lines.
The war department said 1900
flying officers were on active duty,
$500 more are on the reserve rolls
and can be called to active service,
and in addition there are 375 pilots
in the national guard.

NINETEEN YEARSOF
AMERICAN OCCUPATION

AMID impressive m with the smart
" dressed Haitian Garde aligned on the one side
and the World famous u. s. Marines on the other
the American Flag, the symbol of occupatio and
Protectorate was slowly lowered and in itsplace
was hoisted the National flag Of Haiti. Booming
from Fort National came a 81 gun salute in
honor Of the United States. Marine bugles
sound the Star Spangled Banner. The Haiti
an National anthem rode in with it's cho. The
u. S. Marines paraded back to their barracks on
this bright 18th day Of August, 1884. The evac-
uation of Haiti by the United States Government
was finished Haiti was once again a free, sover-
iegn, Independent and self governing nation. Or
er had been brought out of choas and the Sun of
liberty and orderly government shines once more
on the Island Republic.
Haiti and Haitians during those nineteen
years Of American occupation have chafed under
American rule. Bloodshed and strife, apparent
ly unnecessary, as view from a distance, has be
en- experienced by the Island under the crushing
military heel Of the U. S. Marines. However,
looking back to 1915, the time of American entry
into the Island, this garden spot was torn
by revolt and bloodshed. Rebellion ragged through
out the Island. The foundation of national Sc
curity was gradually giving way. Civilization
and cultural advancement was at a standstill. The
Island Republic was in a state af retrOgressiOn.
American occupation may have been too harsh
at times and Of too long duration by a few months
or years, but Haiti sees a brighter day than she
did nineteen years ago.
The mother blesses the kidnapper who
returns her baby safe and unframed. SO Haitians
in their joy may bless the United States and as
compensation for the scars left from those nine
teen years of occupation receive back an orderly
and firmly established govYnment where every
individual is guaranteed andis secured in his in
alien right to life, liberty and the pursuit of hu-
man happiness America %rejoices in this Island
nations happiness. Haiti is master Of her fate.
