The Minister in Haiti ( Mayer ) to the Secretary of State
[Received 1:29 p.m.]
95. Reference my despatches 564 and 566 of July 5th and July 8th.9 Press continues to publish almost daily articles and editorials in line with the statements in President Vincent’s new book published in the press of July 4. Eulogy of the United States and pro-American-phrased articles are appearing not only in Vincent’s own newspaper, the Haiti Journal, but also in Le Matin and the Nouvelliste, both of which have been anything but pro-American, especially the Nouvel-liste. These articles give every evidence of being part of a press campaign. They are undoubtedly inspired if not prepared in collaboration with President Vincent. They are increasingly frank as to the “geographical realities” in the Caribbean, the necessity for a mutual assistance pact and its concrete defensive consequence.
