Already American corporations have acquired large tracts of land for the cultivation of pineapples. sugar. and other products. Its effect upon the morale of the people is most depressing and has contributed to the great exodus to Cuba and Santo Domingo of nativeborn Haitians. More than 30.000 Haitian laborers are emigrating every year to Cuba and Santo Domingo owing to the economic conditions in Haiti and in part due to the occupation by American military forces and the control of their country by a foreign power. Many welladvised persons contend that the material. moral. and intellectual condition of the Haitian people has not improved under Ameritan occupation. The general condition is one of poverty and the migration of Haitians tends to reduce agriculture to a condition of decay and disorganization.
