In official circles it was held that the exclusion of Alexis because of his color was illegal and involved grounds for rsonal court action, since no color ine is existent in France. Even were the Haitien legation to take the matter up, all the government could do would be to express regrets and bring to the attention of the establishment that it was lable to court action for damages if it continued its action. In his letter Alexis complained that he was visiting the Montparnasse es- tablishment for dinner.
