The Acting Secretary of State to the High Commissioner in Haiti (Russell)
[Paraphrase]
Washington, April 11, 1930—6
p.m.
43. The Department has just received your 60, April 11, 9 a.m. The Government of the United States is prepared to take such steps as may prove necessary to have Eugene Roy installed as temporary [Page 246] President of Haiti to carry out the Commission’s plan on May 15, and is prepared, therefore, to disregard any action of the Council of State which is in violation of the provisions of the plan.
The above is for your information and discreet use.
