During a recent tour of the
Caribbean area found that the
.HaitianS want to work. They have
land and water but no means of
financing their first crops.
Haiti is a land of coffee, cotton,
sugar, sisal, bananas and caeao.
There are many raw materials
and minerals also, but the first
hope of the present regime is in
agriculture. Haiti could be a
tourists paradise
/, Haiti Wants 20 Million
! FaitianS cannot understand
why the United States has been
SO slow in granting them a loan
of 20 million dollars. Actually, al
though a Haitian delegation has
been discussing a loan here for
two months or more, formal APP
-plication to the EXport-Import
Bank was made only on Feb. 90.
Normal time for KIM" to inves-
tigate a loan request is three or
four months.
An aggressive Communist front,
which could not muster enough
strength to take command after
the revolution, is supporting
President Dumarsias Estime be-
cause he is "a Democrat and d
man of the people"
United States delay in offering
a loan is but one of the argu-
mcnts upon which the Commun-
lists base dcnlnciation of the Good
Nclghbor policy as "the most
cruel policy" in the world.
In 1922, during the American
occupation. Haiti borrowed %
million dollars from private Unit
ed States sources at 6 per cent
interest. Communists AS we'll as
men in the government, assert
that although Haiti has repaid
30 million dollars in principal and
interest, she still owes seven mil
lion dollars on that account. Haiti
also owes the u. S. more than
seven million on later loans to-
falling ten million.
Argentina Movinu In
President EStimc says Argcn-
tina and Haiti arc to exchange
ambassadors shortly. That indi-
Gates that President Juan Do
mingo Peron of Argentina is in

individuals say that Argentina
has offered loan in furthcrancc
of the commercial policy of that
nation.
An Argentine cruiser visited
Port au Prince, the Haitian CAPT
tai, recently. Even the sailors
who throngcd shops. their hands
filled with US. dollar bills, prov
led good ambassadors.
President Rafael Trujillo of the
Dominican Republic, which occu-
pies the remaining tWo-thirds Of
the Island of Hispaniola, has sent
his foreign minister to Haiti as
ambassador. This surprise move
was interpreted as an attempt to
improve relations and rally the
forces against Communism in the
Caribbean. Trujillo'S nation is out
of debt.

Discovered by Expedition
By the Associated Press


LITTLE AMERICA, Feb. 6-The
Navy's South Polar expedition, fill
ing in gaps in the map of Ant
arctica, has discovered a new 1000
mile coast line and explored 125, ,000
square miles of previously unknown
continental area.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd
expedition commander, made this
announcement in summarizing
news conference yesterday as prep
arations went forward for an early
departure northward before the
Antarctic winter sets in.
Admiral Byrd also told of dis
coveries of four bays, about 20
islands, three peninsulas and 75,00C
square miles of previously unex-
plored ocean area in American
Antarctic regions. The discoveries
were made by Mariner planes on
some Is flights.
The admiral said the expedition
sent to study how to conquer the
polar elements, had learned a great
deal in the face of difficult condi-
tions.
There are great resources here
and it is possible to go after them,
he said. He explained that me-
chanized units with long track!
could travel the snow, planes coule
land anywhere and you could drill
through the ice for OIL"
Coast Line Photographed.
Detailing the explorations, Admira
Byrd said that in addition to thu
new coast line, planes had found ant
photographed 500 miles of coast lin
which had not been known in 1t
entirety. He said he was givinl
conservative estimates In nautica
miles. The planes were from tn
