PORT-AU-PRINCE. Haiti.
(AP) While 700 marines, a
large group of American experts
of all kinds, and American busi
ness men await the naming of the
date when" occupation of Haiti by
the United States shall cease
some happily, some with annoy
ance and some with fear Ameri
can officials are compiling a list
of the benefits accruing since the
intervention in 1915.
Haiti is a changed land since
the hectic days of the slaying of
President Guilllame Sam, which,
together with strategic reasons,
caused American intervention.
The changes, say the Americans
are chiefly of the better kind, and
this will be realized by the repub
11c after the last American official
leaves.
When the marines landed after
President Sam had executed near
ly 200 political prisoners and had
himself been butchered, they
outlaw rule in the hinterland, no
roads, disease on all sides, and
chaos in the treasury.
Now, say American officials,
Haiti's public health service ranks
high, roads connect cities and
towns, Haiti's credit is good and
order has been - restored through
oat the island. Educational forc
es are making inroads on the vast
illiteracy and standards of living
have been raised.
Of the various departments
staffed with Americans, the one
which has received the most
praise from the natives is the
Service D'Hygiene, or public
health department. Establish
ment of hospitals and clinics, both
unknown in preoccupation days,
have meant touch to the health
and happiness of the people. Hai
tians are asking the Americai doc
tors to stay. '
Financial order, put into effect
by American experts, also has
caused much satisfaction to Haiti,
though some of the leaders refer
to this department as "dominat
ing" the ministry of finance. At
least one American official must
stay In this department until 1952
when the outstanding bonds are
to be paid off.
The Service Technique, much
attacked by Haitians of all classes
for its expenditures, is the com
bined agricultural - vocational
school with branches all over the
country. Diversification of crops.
Instruction in farming by the imi
tation method, and vocational
training of youth are the chief
objects of the Service Technique
It has received only lukewarm co
operation since established in
1923.
The Bureau des Travaux Pub
lics, or department of public
works, has charge of the building
of roads and similar work. The
main highway connects the capital
with the central and northern
cities on the one hand, and with
the chief southern cities on the
other. New roads are being con-

Ibn Baud and Feisal met on a

also given mementoes to Sir
Francis Humphreys, British high

Abdullah is said to have ex

with the outcome of his brother's
talk with Ibn Saud. His own
tears were . considerably lessened
a few months back when he sign

Great Britain and was accorded a
21 gun salute by the British.
The sons of ex-King Hussein
have much in common. Both dis
tinguished themselves In the
world war when, with Lawrence
of Arabia, they fought the Turks.
Feisal is especially noted as a
horseman and crack shot and as
a strategist. At one time, when
the spirits of his followers was
low, he loaded his almost empty
treasure chests with stones and
ostentatiously packed them on the
backs of camels which gruntingly
protested the heavy burdens. To
day he is a poet, cotton grower
(and aviation enthusiast.
Abdullah, who distinguished
himself by his capture of Talf
from the Turks. Is also wise in
the ways of his people. He has a
new and stately blue and gol
home in Amman called the Pal
ace of Eden, but when he enter

meets them in a great black tent

wife, the daughter of a prince of

of Prince Telal, now at Oxford.
She also has two daughters. She
shares the emir's household with
a second wife who is the mother
