United States we're good or
that those Of Mr.. Castro,
forming his forces in the
nearby Sierra Maestro Noun
tains, were hostile. He in
structed his delegate at the
U. N. to follow the United
States lead in voting. His
public statements were en-
phatic in support Of the
United States. Although Mr..
Dejoie continued to plot
against him, DR.. Duvalier
gave him an amnesty. Later
in 1858 Mr.. Dejoie financed
a small invasion that was led
from Florida by four Ameri-
can citizens, who were killed
after a battle in the palace
courtyard.
Although suspicious that
the State Department had
abetted this conspiracy and
chagrined that no apology
was made in Washington, DR..
Duvalier continued to profess
his friendship. Asked in 1853
to oust a Castro unit that
was training in Haiti, he
complied.
DR.. Duvalier undertook to
communicate his eagerness
for good relations through
private channels to the White
House. Impressed by claims
that the Haitian was being
underrated by the profess
sional diplomats, Sherman
Adams secured two favors
for him-the dispatch of a
contingent of Marines to train
the Haitian army and the
grant of a So million loan to
assist a budgetary crisis. But
the White House had more
important blems than
Haiti and custody Of the
dwindling relationship was
left in the end to the Depart
ment.
Victim of Bad Advice
The case against DR.. Du-
Waller gained validity with the
passage of time. In 1859 he
seemed a hopeful figure,
shuffling his cabinet against
corruption and struggling to
preserve constitutional gov
ernment. But the forces Of
disillusionment and of primi-
tive politics proved too pow
erful for the country doctor.
He succumbed increasingly to
bad advice, reached for the
security of tyranny, and
broke with the man he had
picked as his successor, Gle
ment Barbot. His friends
maintain that published re-
ports of his misdeeds have
been sensationalized, but
they do not deny the pattern
of despotism since 1860.
1t is not clear whether DR..
Duvalier's early aspirations to
be a good president might
have been realized if he had
enjoyed a benefit of close and
wise diplomatic support from
the beginning. 1t is clear,
however, that diplomatic hos
tility, stirred by considera-
tions of internal politics,
made an enemy of a govern
ment that desired to be
friendly.
The first misjudgment led
to the second-an assumption
that DR.. Duvalier would
swiftly fall when his term ex-
pired on May is. The United
States relied too heavily once
again upon the testimony Of
the Haitian presidents OPP
position and is left now to
face the consequences.

FOCUS ON THE NEWS
BY CHARLES BARTLETT
WishfuI Thinking on Dictotors

President Francois Duva-
lier is proving to everyone's
embarrassment to be a dura-
BILE resident Of the Presidents
Palace in Haiti-the State
Department has made the
classical error Of underesti-
mating his strength and over
estimating his opposition.
II am the permanent presi-
dent Of Haiti" DR.. Duvalier
told an American friend re-
Gently. "They need a strong
man and I'm a strong man
and I'm going to stay here"
Unless this determination
is refuted shortly by an as
sassin's bullet, DR.. Duvalier
will have handed the depart
ment a new lesson in the
futility Of wishful thinking as
a policy against dictatorS.
He also presents a troubling
dilemma-the United States
is under attack by Latin lib
erals for not doing enough to
get rid Of him and by the
African leaders assembled in
Adds Ababa for working
openly to destroy the only
black head of state in the
western Hemisphere. No
course Of action seems capa-
BILE at this time of covering
the awkwardness of the stu
alton.
The basic misjudgments on
DR.. Duvalier we're a product
Of the same period of ideal
istic dogmatism in Washing
ton and unskilled diplomacy
on the spot which facilitated
Fidel Castro's seizure of
power in Cuba. 1t was the pc
riod between 1858 and 1860
when William Wieland, berd-
ing perhaps too stiffly to the
opinions of Romulo Betan-
court Of Venezuela and
Munoz Marin Of Puerto Rico,
had charge Of Caribbean af-
fairs.
Turning Point
Paul Magloire was a benign
dictator Of Haiti between
1850 and 1857 and his be-
nignancy permitted his ene-
mics, greedy for the rewards
of power, to oust him. His de-
parture stirred seven months
Of turmoil before DR.. Du-
Waller was elected as presi-
dent over a mulatto candi-
date, Louis Dejoie. This was
a turning point in Haitian
affairs-it marked the emer-
gence Of black control de-
spite the bitter opposition OF
the Catholic Church and the
mulattos, who number one
tenth of the population ano
had long dominated the po-
litical and social life.
In a visit to the American
embassy in Port-au-Princt
before he came to power, DR.
Duvalier seemed to Ambas-
sador Roy TaSco Davis to be
a kindly old country doctor
whose reputation was gooC
but whose strength might
not pc equal TO the hazards
of political life. Mr.. Davi.

Sages have said that a city
set upon a hill cannot hide

are set on a hill in that all
eyes look to them. Many cit
les are sick with a surfeit
of people-but still they
come. Why? There are many
reasons. There is that mys-
terious pull called "oppor-
tunity." There is more life in
the city, recreation, enter

said. London and New York

There is a collision Of mind,

No Place To Cut

Few Americans will find comfort or
reinsurance in our aid program for Latin
America when they consider that two OF
the loudest and most earnest supporters
of large spending below the border have
been Earl Browder, leader of the Com
munists in the u. S., and Fidel Castro.
Brig. Gen. Bonner Fellers, national
chairman of the Citizens Foreign Aid
Committee, in the latest issue of his
"Facts on Foreign Aid' series, declares
flatly that it was Browder who, sin 1914,
drew the blueprint for our foreign aid
program. In his text on the subject,
s'Teheran, Our Path in War and Peace,
the US Communist Boss said:
"The US must take the lead in pro-
posing a common program of economic
development of the Latin American
countries. Instead of hundreds of mil
lions of dollars in industrial efforts to
Latin America, we must plan for thou
sands of million annually"
In 1856 lesser light, Max Weiss, writ
ing in the Communist Party publication
in the US, 'Political Affairs Magazine"
advised: we single out for major
attention and activity the following: the
fight for disarmament; the fight to re-
store normal trade relations between our
country Che means the USAD and the
Socialist world; the fight for policy of
large scale economic aid, without strings,
to the so-called 'underdeveloped' coun-
tries of Asia, Africa and Latin America;

Not A Bad Idea

Edwin P. Neilan, the new president of
the Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, believes that the average bust
nessman "has become soft and is taking
things little easy; he needs to buckle
down."
When he calls businessmen "soft''
Neilan, former semipro football player,
means that they are not taking the ini-
tiative to mobilize local talent and re-
sources to solve local problems.
He is convinced that arevival OF
grass roots initiative and a sense OF re-
sponsibility is badly needed. He says,
"our cities and counties are being ma
tionalized right out from under us"
Neilan is president and chairman OF
the board of the Bank of Delaware at
Wilmington. He took office May as

president of the Chamber He is deter
mined to intensity Chamber programs to
encourage businessmen to help their
communities solve their own problems
Government must be kept at home as
much as possible" Neilan says. "When
it gets as far away as Washington, you
just can't control it."
For the steady growth of the federal
government and the budget, Neilan Gre
dts the career servants.
"Never quote me as blaming the Ken
nedy or Eisenhower Administration for
the big budget" Neilan says. The crea-
tors of the budget are the career policy
makers. They lose in one session OF Con-
gress = or one year of an Administration
= and they get it all back the next year" !"

We Are AstonIshed

It's astonishing to us to find that the
people we send to Washington to repre-
sent us think it's astonishing" because
we're capable of thinking for ourselves.
In the wheat vote, the farmers appar-
emily didn't like what they saw. The
same holds true for the cattlemen along
the proposed road linking the two sec
tions of the park. They saw the loss OF
valuable hay and feed lands and spoke
their piece at the Medora hearing.
That's just what this country needs
right now. More astonished lawmakers
in Washington. There's getting to be
quite a few who think the people back

Dear Editor:
l am submitting to you for
publication a tear sheet from
the Congressional record of
May 81, 1868, which included
Senator Quintin Burdick's
new bill S.1618 which he has
introduced in the U. S. Senate
to replace his Roosevelt Park
way bill S.786 which recently
met with such widespread OPP
position from all the ranch
people, the businessmen and
Chamber of Commerce from
all the towns surrounding the
Little Missouri country, termin-
ating at a meeting at Medora,
N. Oak on May 16.
Most of your readers have
heard the arguments pro and
con about this proposed park
way and some may be a little
confused as to why the ranch
ers objected to the Parkway" ;"
Objections were spanked by
the method provided in the
bill for acquiring the land for
this road and by the absence
of any provision for compen-
sation to the people for land
taken from them. Also by the
location of the road which q
map made by the Park Service
showed would cross many pri.
vate owned ranch headquarters
and in some cases, right thru
their yards, would traverse

road and that their map didn

qualifying for the "whopper" class.
Our perils started the second day out
when our guide decided we should go up
the Churchill River to Devils Lake for
the big ones. What he failed to tell us
was that it was necessary to "shoot"
series of rapids to reach the lake. Now
normally, the guide would take the boats
up and down the rapids and let the ang-
lers walk the bank beyond each set OF
rapids. But not our guide. We managed
to make the first one and from there on
he took each boat up. After reaching the
lake we caught couple 10 Founders and
under and then decided to go back to
the big lake.
"We1l all go through the first rapids
and then I'll take it from there" he said.
There were three boats and we brought

halfway through and the rapids took

they nursed was an appetite for lots of
