Such and to shield the role of imperialism vicious propaganda can only fool in Haiti superficial minds like Congressman This same insincere and superficial La Guardia.

in the Evening Graphic of March 28, These intellectual talk of voodoo April 6, and April 11, proves again huw superficial and ignorant he is of uifairs in Haiti. The American people who are acquainted with the history of Haiti and the Haitian people, with their gailant struggle for liberty and independence, can readily see that the articles of La Guardia are unfounded and absurd. He again in these articles brings forth the theory that the dark races will always be oppressed because they are an inferior race. In his opinion, Haiti especially must be brought under the subjugation of the because she won her independence from France through the extermination of the great, heroic army of Napoleon, under the commandership of Rochanbeau in 1804 in bloody battles.
And our congressman mourns the loss of the Napoleonic army; but has he ever stopped to think of the disaster the marines have brought to the Haitian people through years of peaceful occupation. wish to inform the congressman that if men of the type of Toussaint Louverture, Dessaline, Capoie La Mort, King Henri Christophe and the other beroes responsible for driving out Napoleon army and establishing freedom in Haiti, were alive today, much of the supression and suffering inflicted on the lives of the Haitian people by Generali John Russell, and his southern marines, who have been fighting there for 14 years, would have been avoided. Of course, John Russell would have done like John Waller did in the Philippines a few years ago, where he set fire to the four corners of the capital. Or as the anna is now doing in Nicaragua and Mexico. The question here is which is the stronger oppressor. Napoleon had only this large army, but the Imperialists have aeroplanes and bombs and marines to subjugate colonial peoples. might suggest to the congressman if he insists on writing articles on Haiti, to take a trip there or at Solar least go to the 42nd St. Library and look up some material on Haiti. It will no doubt help hin straighten out some of the foolish and erroneatel dous ideas on the subject: If Mr. La TOP DR ADVERTISE IN THE WORKMAN IT WILL PAY YOU WE OFFER EXCELLENT PRICES FOR AND who were Job Printing Book.

They never take notice of the fact that for five consecutive years the African Equatorial Region has been suffering from the increasing en slavement of the French government, and that the Negroes there are fighting bravely against such op.
pression.
Why does not Mr. La Guardia mention a word about the institution of Jim Crowism in the United States, where lynching of Negroes is a daily occurrence, where the Negro workers are constantly faced with starvation because of race discrimination on the job and elsewhere.
These are important matters that cannot be overlooked. But what is one to expect from a man who has for years been playing on the side of those who had greater advantages to offer, ab CORNER JAVILLO Opposite Guardia Lumber Yard Drink Salad Tea the best for the Tropias
