The High Commissioner in Haiti (Russell) to the Secretary of State
[Received 4:35 p.m.]
123. All quiet; Damien medical and law students still on strike. Director General of Public Health Service has recommended that the medical school be closed until October 1930. Only a few rural farm and industrial schools operating but expect number will be largely increased after the Christmas holidays.
The garde, which has been operating as a regiment of the brigade, has this date been returned to its independent function. This action places the military situation in Haiti in the condition it was in prior to December 4, 1929. The opposition press are still publishing their papers with the usual articles.
