The Chargé in Haiti (Finley) to the Secretary of State

Port-au-Prince, August 1, 1938—noon.
[Received 1:15 p.m.]

96. President Vincent in a speech to the Garde this morning informed them that the Government had made arrangements to have a small American military mission come to Haiti. Leger states he will give me a note tomorrow confirming the desire of the Haitian Government to receive this mission.

Reaction in the Garde is understood to be favorable for the most part. One or two officers are understood to have contrary views.
