He did not, in his request for a com- mission, define what he wanted to know. He only said that matters were “obscure.” But why should they be “obscure”? Has: not the U. S. been occupying the country for 14 years? Is there any more reason that conditions in Haiti should be “obscure” to Hoover than conditions in North Dakota? None whatever! Does Hoover mean to say that conditions are “obscure” to him because he does not trust the reports of “high commissioner” Brigadier General Russell? Not at all. This despotic ruler of Haiti in the name of the Na- tional City Bank, has the full confidence of Hoover, as shown by Hoover’s ready response to Russell’s call for more troops to massacre the Haitian people. There has been not one word of Hoover to show the slightest lack of faith in Wall Strect’s other minion in Haiti. Rus- sell is murdering and robbing as imperialist interests demand, so why should Hoover raise any question against him? Then why the request for a “commission” to investigate “condi- tions” already known? The answer is that Hoover wishes to deceive the Haitian masses and deceive the workers of the United States into believing that some- thing is going to be done about “freeing” Haiti. The Haitian masses were rising in revolt and, to stop them from taking freedom by force, Hoover had to pretend to be willing to “grant” it voluntarily.

S. of the Kellogg “peace” pact! The “Wall Street Journal” of Dec. 27, speaking about “what to do with Haiti,” settles the matter by putting aside the “humanitarian” bosh, admitting the economic interests and coming out plainly to ex- plain that United States needs Haiti subjected for war purposes. It is a part of a larger scheme of imperialist conquest and werfare grow- ing out of such conquest and conflicts. The “Wall St. Journal” states: “It is a geographical matter and cannot be ignored. Look at the map and it will be seen that the Virgin Islands, San Domin- go, Haiti and Cuba stand as sentinels north and northeast of the Panama Canal. Looking at the map one can understand why Secretary Knox when on a visit to Haiti in 1911 said in a public speech: At a time when the obligations which my country has as- sumed as the agent of the interest of all America and of the world in creating a highway for international commerce is about to be realized, we are impressed with the conviction that the fullest success of our work is, to a notable degree, dependent sang the Internationale, but they seek to minimize the incident. eee The cruiser Emden was camou- flaged by the German militarists seas as a raider on allied ships.

Secretary Knox spoke these words with marvelous foresight in view of the United States invasion of Haiti four years later. To “in- sure peace and stability” the Marines have killed thousands of Haitian people since then. But “peace and stability” are fugitive things, and it may he necessary to stay in Haiti forever and kill all its inhabitants. Thus the “Wall Street Journal” in stating the question remarks: “Shall the United States withdraw from Haiti in 1936, or shall it negotiate a treaty for a further occupation?” An interesting naivete in this is the fact that the U. S. seems to bé@ assumed to have the whole say-so. Haiti’s ideas don’t count, To settle the matter, Hoover is appointing a commission, whose verdict is a foregone conclusion. Some vague promise of future independence, a lot of talk, and the Marines stay there. The “Wall Street Journal” gives its ideas on what kind of im- perialist elements should be on Hoover's “commission” to “investigate Haiti.” It says they should be “judicially minded,” and “impartial,” both of which qualities mean that the commission must look at things as the “Wall Street Journal” does. ‘The Hoover Commission is a fake. If the Haitian masses want freedom, they will have to fight for it. With the help of the masses of oppressed in Latin America; with the aid of the U. S. proletariat; by their own ruthless revolutionary action, the Haitian masses can free themselves. It is the only way they will be freed.

SCIENTISTS HELP WAR MOVES Prof. Millikan Spouts Pacifist Phrases DES MOINES, Iowa Dec. 30—| Dr. Robert A. Millikan, physicist, delivered his presidential address today before the American Associa- tion for the Advancement of Science, and had the gall to declare that science would save mankind from war. Durng the world war, the scien- tists: in the capitalists’ countries were the most rabid upholders of the war and worked frantically for the victory of their capitalist mas- ers. 3 Millikan forgot to mention that under capitalism the scientists are a part of the capitalist machine and just as willingly make more deadly poison gas. as they invent processes to speed-up the workers to the last notch, The whole machinery of science in the capitalist countries are owned outright by the capitalist class, and in spite of their pose of aloofness, the scientists are among the most servile tools of their im- perialist. masters. : In the Soviet Union, science is harnessed to the building of social- ism. . Dr. Growther, in_an article on science in the Soviet Union, which appeared in the Sunday New York Times (Dec. 29), pointed out that the Soviet Government was organ- izing and utilizing the scientific ap- paratus of the country for the bet- terment of the conditions of . the workers and peasants. Professor Millikan’s speech was just a part of the pacifist propa- ganda which has the aim of cover- ing the war preparations of U. S. imperialism. It was also a defense of thé whole system of capitalist rationalization, During the last war, Millikin and his fellow scientists worked over- 'League and America in Tilt for Control of Naval Re-Grouping and Paris reports Geneva show {ably sore at France’s recent pro- jnouncement on its naval demands land refusal to allow the London | naval conference to be the last word on its demands, proposing that the decisions of London should be ap- | proved by the League of Nations— lor rejected by it, of course—is find- jing the League a hard obstacle to |get around in American imperial- ‘ism’s attempt to re-group the world |navies along lines of its own plans |for the coming world war.
