Hoiti's President
Leads Island to
Higher Standards
BY LUCILLE SELF

" hAAS many NOhhLA ASo III luG
world are having their internal
troubles and political unrest, there
is one country that is having a
quiet "bloodless revolution" 1t is
the Republic Of Haiti.
This West Indies island of 10, 700
square miles, with a population of
about 254 persons per square mile,
a density greater than that of any
other republic in the Americas, is
now enjoying a better standard of
living than ever before.
One man has been responsible
for leading his country on the
road TO prosperity and democracy.
He is President Dumarsais Es-
time.
Forty-six years old and former
attorney, Mr.. Estime was elected
Is months ago to head the govern
ment for a six-year term.
Due to the Presidents new
term" program, social reforms,
public health and education have
been stepped up in Haiti's national
life. This country's economic and
commercial situation has never
been better than it is today.
Haiti's level of exports for the
fiscal year 1856 were $22, 800, 900
and her imports were $15,90O,OOO.
Only in 1919 were her exports
higher, according to an official re-
port.
Even though the full amount
Of the United States loan has
been prepaid, Haiti would like to
be liberated from certain financial
obligations from the United
States, according to official
spOkesmen from Haiti.
Joseph d. Charles, ambassador to
Washington and chairman of the
Haitian delegation to the United
Nations General Assembly, said in
his statement to the press that
trade with the United States can
be increased if the United States
lowers its trade barriers.
Haiti hopes to sign a new COM
mercial agreement with the United
States which will normalize our
trade balance" Charles said.
His report went on to say that
many of Haiti's exports, such as
rum, tomatoes, laces and embrOi-
derry, could find a steady market
here but are hampered by pref
erential tariffs given some Euro
pean countries, Cuba and Puerto
Rico.
Many new agricultural products
have been added to the list Of ex.
ports in the past IL years, includ.
ing bananas and sisal, the report
stated. New plants for cotton have
been established, as well as for the
making of plastics and chocolate
the report showed.
Along with their economic re-
forms Haitians have buried their
party differences. There is homo
geneity in Haiti's political life.
This was expressed the other day
in an interview by Antonio l.
Vieux, former under secretary of
Justice and vice chairman of the
Haitian delegation to the United
Nations General Assembly. when
he said:
IAN the political parties, eve
the Communist party, in spite O
their theoretical differences, agre
because they recognize the effort
put forth by the Presidents pre-
gram and because Of the delicat
world situation"

It's High Time and the President
has taken proper, if belated, steps
to remove Communists from public
pay rolls. He has ordered that all
government and that those whose
EMPLOYEES of the Government shall

loyalty may be found reasonably
suspicious shall be separated from
the public service. That will include,
besides actual communists, all COM

control say is to believed There is
only one party; disagreement even

revoked, he starves and so does
his family. OF course he doesn't dis

Disagree with the Government, do

SUIT IS FILED
 AGAINST UCC
 IN ANCHORAGE
Ask Judgment Declaring Credit Maintenance
 Act Invalid

Suit has been filed in the Anch- orage District Court of Judge An thony J. Dimond, according to word received in Juneau, in an at tempt to have Chapter "A, Session Laws of Alaska, l947 Senate Bill lO5), declared null and void
 Senate Bill 105 set up a system for determining Unemployment Compensation tax credits to en- ployers who have maintained a con- stant level of employment over a period of years.
 Felton H. Griffin, president of the Alaska Territorial Federation of Labor, filed the suit through Steve McCutcheon.
 Defendants in the action are R. E. Sheldon, as Executive Director, Unemployment Compensation Com mission of Alaska, and the members of the Commission.
 Listed as co-defendants with Sheldon are Ernest F. lessen, pub fisher of the Fairbanks lessen s Weekly; Anthony zorich, CIO union official of Ketchikan; and
 George Vaara of Anchorage, the three appointed members of the Commission.
 The suit asks judgment from the court enjoining and restraining the defendants from issuing credit
 notices or otherwise establishing
 credits for employers, and declaring null and void Chapter "A of the
 Session Laws for the last Terri torial Legislative session. | Arguments given by the plaintiff are several. The first reason is that one of the effects of the bill
 will be to reduce payments to the
 Alaska Unemployment Compensa- tion Fund in the approximate
 amount of one-half million dollars i a year.
 1 The complaint also objects to the reduction in the waiting period for !, unemployment compensation from , two weeks to one week. Griffin also contends that the act is invalid because the Senate
 Bill 105 as titled does not conform to the Organic Act, which requires
 every bill to contain in it's title a complete statement of it's provis- ions.
 The suit also charges that the
 bill was not given three separate readings nor any final vote in the lower House.
 Further, Griffin's suit alleges: That Senate Bill 105) was vetoed

 Portland's 20-hit assault gave ancient Ad Liska the nightcap vic- tory over Seattle and kept the Bea- vers one jump ahead of the Stars. Seattle won the opener when pitch CT Bill Posedel drove in three runs with a smash normally good for a double in the second inning, but twisted his leg rounding first base. Walt Dubiel went the rest of the way to will. Posedel was sent to Seattle for treatment.
 The Rainiers advanced their ser ies margin to 5-2, with five games yet to be played in the elongated set
