THE MAILED FIST IX HAITI In July, 1914, Germany made a proposition for customs control in Haiti. The note from the German embassy pointed out that, even though the American government be lived it inadvisable to have Interested European Powers participate in the control of Haitian customs, neverthe less the Imperial government must give heed to public opinion in Ger- I many. The German note went so far as to state that the simplest solution of the difficulty would be to include Germany, and that Germany would not understand any other arrange ment Our State Department's answer to this extraordinary German document was emphatic. In the most unequi vocal terms It stated that its policy was not subject to any variation; that neither foreign mercantile interests nor any other interests proceeding from outside of the American hemi sphere could be so extended as even to constitute a joint control in whole or In part of the government or ad ministration of any independent American State. Within a month of this corsepon dence the European war broke out and since then we have established a protectorate over Haiti. —The March World's Work.
