The Chargé in Haiti (Woodward) to the Secretary of State
[Received 1:15 p.m.]
107. Leading article in today’s Matin refers to the recent departure for the United States of Haitian Government officials now in New York and goes on to say in effect that the adjournment of the bank question by the Senate is leading to new and favorable consideration on the part of the American Government concerning financial control “which may even bring about the withdrawal of the Fiscal Representative shortly”.
President Vincent is greatly annoyed by the article and has asked me to issue a denial if possible. If the Department has no objection I will issue a statement to the effect that the Matin article is without foundation.85
- By telegram No. 82, October 3, 1934, 6 p.m., the Department authorized the Chargé in Haiti to make the statement.↩
