The Secretary of State to the High Commissioner in Haiti (Russell)
Washington, December 31, 1929—6
p.m.
79. I am highly gratified that it has been possible to deal with the recent disturbances in Haiti with so little show of force and no more bloodshed. I feel that prompt and firm action was necessary and right in your difficult situation where it would have been entirely easy to have made irretrievable mistakes.
