< Previous | Home | Next >

Published march 26 1930, 15 years through the occupation- Cameron Forbes chairman
page 6: "..it was not until the disastrous financial situation could be straightened out by the flotation of the loan of 1922 that a constructive policy could be carried out.." Translation: the occupation used Haiti's own money and resources to rebuild Haiti not their own money.

page 7: "...peace was secured by the elimination of banditry.

Peace and order were restored by the Marines by 1920 and road building was begun under Marine auspices." Translation: kill dam niggers, build roads to make it easier
page 7 "...road between Port-au-Prince and Cap-Haitian was practically impassable except on horseback.

Now it is done in six hours by automobile." Translation:PaP & Cap are linked for greater control
page 7 "...

an efficient constabulary has been organized and trained and has maintained peace and order." Translation: a police force who will become a mecernary army at our disposal for future oppression of the Haitian people.

page 7: "...Under the treaty of 1915 the assistance of the United States was not provided for in the matter of education..." Translation: you dam black people don't need any education, do you! ya need bullets and some rice.
page 8: "...commission disappointed at the evidence it received of lack of appreciation on the part of the educated Haitians..." Translation: the Haitian elite is anti-occupation since it could no longer manipulate and mislead.

page 19: "...These bandit gangs have been broken up and disappeared under American rule, but the social forces that created them still remain - poverty, ignorance, and the lack of a tradition or desire for free government." Translation: although we havent tackled any or resolved none of Haiti's fundamental underlying problems, we're leaving anyway.
