838.51/992: Telegram
The Acting Secretary of State to the Minister in Haiti (Bailly-Blanchard)
93. Your 73, October 11, 4 p.m.
Apparently you have misunderstood Department’s wishes as expressed in series of telegrams regarding suspension of salaries of members of the Government. You are instructed to direct definite and final withdrawal of the order suspending salaries so that in the event program be not carried out by Haitian Government by October 20, or even well into November, the subsequent carrying out of the program by the Haitian Government will not in any sense appear to have been as a result of the coercive effect of the suspension order.44
- The Minister replied, Oct. 19, “Instructions complied with.” (File no. 838.51/1009.)↩
