The Military Representative in Haiti (Knapp) to the Secretary of State and the Secretary of the Navy

[Paraphrase]

0101. Have appointment tomorrow with Moravia,41 with whom I exchanged calls today. Unless otherwise directed, American Minister and I agree that no mandate should be issued for pay of Haitian President, Secretaries of State, and Councilors of State for September until required program is put through. None has been issued as yet. No message in the premises has been sent to Council of State even yet, although 10 days have been allowed to pass, which does not seem to indicate a very earnest spirit of accommodation. No promise to pay was made in conversation of September 20, except that the order to suspend salaries would be withdrawn when program entirely accomplished. No other news. 1850.

  1. Charles Moravia, Haitian Minister accredited to the United States.
