The Acting Secretary of State to the Chargé in Haiti (Belden)
26. Referring to Article 15 of the Contract of the Retrait the Government of the United States feels strongly that the obligation of the Haitian Government formally established in this article, to prohibit importation and exportation of non-Haitian currency except such as may be necessary to meet the requirements of commerce in the judgment of the Financial Advisor, may not further be ignored and should at once be put in operation. It is the desire of the Department that you place this matter as strongly as possible before the Haitian Government and obtain the issuance of an arrêté carrying out the provisions of the contract.
