HAITIANS OPPOSE
AMERICAN CONTROL
OF CITIZENSHIP
Vigorously Protest the Appointment
By (he American Government of
High Commissioner for
the Islanders.
OPPOSE A $14,000,000 LOAN
Considered as an Adroit Scheme to
Hold Control of Haiti in Perpe
tuity, is Claim of Hr. Hudicourt, |
Haitian Representative
~
Washington, Peb. 24—Pixitesting !
that the appointment hy the Ameri
can government of a high commission
ed in Haiti, as suggested by the spec
ial Senate committee which is invest
igating conditions in that country,
would amount to placing that country ,
under a protectorate, Dr. Pierre Hai'di
court- 'of Port au Prince, told the |
committee at hearings last week that
the Haitians would not recognise the
light of this country to intorMfre with
their independence.
“You delivered Cuba from Spain
and can impose conditions upon her,’’
he assorted. “Hut Haitians have
their own birthright to be free, rfot
won by the sword with the assistance
of the United States.’’
Dr. Hudicourt insisted that the
United States had “destroyed Haitian
freedom” and had “imposed despotism
and terror.” The United States re
r-oenizrd Haitian independence in the
treaty of 1015, he continued, stating
that the treaty had proved a "failure”
and predicting that appointment of
the high commission would also be a
failure.
Oppose $11,000,000 l.oan
The people of Haiti protest against
the proposed loan of $14,000,000
which has been suggested by the Am
erican government, he said, quoting
the President and other officials of
his country as unwilling to place
themselves under the "grip" which
such a loan would give this country.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, Ohio,
suggested that conditions in Haiti
required financing, and Dr. Hudicourt
replied that his country did need out
side captial, but would refuse to ac
cept it under any conditions that
would impose foreign pressure.
The witness read a cablegram print
ed in Haitian newspapers declaring
that unless the Haitian government
consented to a loan the salaries of the
afficials pf that country would be
stopped and stated that the people re
sented such efforts to force them in
to agreements they opposed- Such a
loan would run for more than fortv
years- he explained, and should it be
made, would, in his judgment, give
the United States an excuse for con
tinuing occupation until it was paid.
“This loan is a plan definitely to
hold control of Haiti in perpetuity,”
he declared.
Oppose Military Man
An emphatic protest was lodged
with the committee by Dr. Hudicourt
against the appointment of a military
officer as high commissioner in Haiti.
Tfe stated that the special committee
had recommended the appointment of
a civilian as commissioner and that
the Haitian people, while objecting
to any oemmissioner, were particular
ly opposed to having their affairs
placed in the hands of a military of
ficer. Dr. Hudicourt explained that
he had tieen informed that “a briga
dier-general” was to be appointed.

WANTS AMERICAN
HISTORIANS TO GIVE
CREDIT WHERE DDE
William Pickens Respectfully Calls
Attention to Fact that Part Played
by Race Has Not been Recorded
New York City, Feb. 20.—William
Pickens of the Vk A. A. C- P. ap
peared at an investigation in New
York recently on the rewriting of his
tory' books. The following account
of Mr. Pickens’ testimony before the
commissioner of Accounts of New
York is taken from the New York
World:
William Pickens of the National As
sociation for the Advancement of Col- !
ored People made a plea that the part j
played by Negroes be included in Am- j
erican history.
“I went through public school,” lie
said, “and graduated from Yale and
was a grown man before I ever learn
ed that it was a black man who shot
Major Pitcairn at Bunker Hill, or that
one man out of every ten at the Battle j
of Lake Erie was black, or that in j
the War of 1812 there were many
black men behind the American para
pet of cotton bales, or that George
Washington had hundreds of Colored
soldiers, or that Abraham Lincoln
said that without 200,000 black troops
on the Northern side they never would
have won.
“For the sake*of good feeling be
tween black and white that is es
sential, I want our histories to show
the part that Colored soldiers played
in the great war.’’
The Rev- W. II. W'ilkinsen, mis
sionary of the Nebraska Baptist Con
vention was in the city Sunday from
Norfolk. He preached Sunday morn
ing at Zion Baptist church and at
Council Bluffs in the evening. Ho left
the city Monday for Beatrice, Fair
liury and Hastings.

STRONGHOLDS OF ILLITERACY
Educational Opportunities Greatly
Limited—-Traveling School Only
Means of Carrying Education
—Newspapers Scarce.
Washington, Feb. 24.--Over one
millihn Negroes live in the mountains
nf North Carolina, West Virginia and
Tennessee, declared Prof- Harrison
Hough, of Morgan College, before the
Industrial Educational ssociation.
“It is most fitting,” said Prof.
Hough, “that a discussion of the
mountaineer should take place on this
•lay—the day when the world pays
homage to one of the greatest men
who ever lived. Abraham Lincoln—
the rrbuntaineer of Kentucy.
“I have talked with and worked
among hundreds of mountain Negroes.
I have found them to be truly Ameri
cans- Rut they have not the facilities
for culture and education that is ne
cessary to the highest development.
I have seen handsome young men and
beautiful young women. 18, 25 and 30
years of age who could neither read
nor write their own names.
There are Negroes in the moun
tains who have never seen a news
paper; have never hoard the names of
Dr. DuRois, Kelly Miller, Booker T.
Washington or Paul l^awrence Dun
bar. There are Negroes in the moun
tains who cannot tell you the name of
the President of the United States or
the Governor of their respective states.
Rut I have found them to be kind
hearted, generous and eager to get
information and knowledge.
No where will you find a more hope
ful group than the mountain Negro.
They are willing to help themselves
but thev don't know how. It is up to
us to show them the way and to aid
them while they are struggling to
muster the fundamentals of a modem
civilization.
“The same stuff that was in Lin
coln is in some of our mountain Ne
groes. We may yet have to turn to
another mountaineer- this time a Ne
gro, to bring about the second eman
cipation, the fruits of which shall be
the New Freedom
Professor Hough described the trav
eling school of Miss Mary Moore lo
cated at Hidnight, North Carolina.
The main building, he said, is located
in a small town, hut the three teach
ers go out on foot and horseback to
teach small groups in all of the sur
rounding country.

LEADERS PLEDGE BIG GAIN
Friends of Measure More Powerful
Than its Foes, Presaging Its
Speedy Passage by the
Upper House
New York, Feb. 24.—Leading Re
publican Senators have promised their

In a letter to the Advancement

“I have always been in favor of do
| ing everything possible to put an end
| to the lawless and hideous business
| of lynching and expect of course to
support the anti-lynching bill when it

“I wish to say that as Chairman on

PATCHING UP KING’S SPEECH
—
Serious Omission Recently Gave Brit
ish Parliamentary Authorities a
“Bad Fifteen Minutes.”
William Gobbett, who used ty com
plain of the bad grammar and the In
different English of tlie king's
speeches to parliament, surely never
! contemplated the omission which
I marked tlie king's speech at the open
I iug of the recent session. The speech
itself was remarkably short—139
words all told—und it came to a sud
den stop without the usual Invocation
of God’s blessing on tlie labors of par
liament. When tlie king had departed,
the officials were horrified at the
omission ; and hastily sent up a verbal
addition to the press. Some of the
newspapers used it and some did not.
Nor was this all, for when the lord
chancellor in the house of lords and
the speaker In the house of commons
read out the speech at the afternoon
sitting, the invocation was there, but
the words were different from those
supplied earlier in the day. The se
cret history of all these changes
would make Interesting matter for •
modern I*epys.
Future Monarch Reared Simply,
In an article describing the train
ing of tlie fourteen-year-old prince of
the Asturias, King Alfonso's heir, the
Madrid Heraldo says he is being
brought up in the atmosphere of home
life that Ids parents love. Queen
Victoria, as well as King Alfonso, dis
likes all forms of ceremonial, and
the prince Is being trained as simply
as possible. He has many tutors with
whom he visits factories, dockyards,
engineering works, newspaper offices,
museums and all centers of culture
and activity. The customs of the
Spanish court have prevented him
from entering n university or military
college, hut he will probably he sent
later on to a military academy.
The prince is fair with blue eyes,
and for tills reason he has the ap
pearance of a "foreigner,” for Spain
i* a country of dark-eyed people. Hut
those who s|ieak of his foreign ap
pearance maintain that he Is thorough
ly Siinlsh. He speaks English and
| (Trench fluently and takes an active
Interest In science and art.—London
I Dally Mai).
