I have the honor to inform Your Excellency that the offices of
the Financial Adviser and of the Receiver General have not yet
delivered the checks for the July salaries of His Excellency
the President of the Republic, of the secretaries, state
councilors, and palace interpreter, although all other
officials were paid on July 30.
The Secretary of Finance wrote to the Receiver General asking
information on the subject, and was informed that he had not
received the necessary mandates and orders. The fact of the
non-delivery of the checks and the reply of the Receiver
General were then brought to the attention of the Financial
Adviser, who has not yet replied.
In informing your Legation of this situation, I call the
attention of Your Excellency to this new attitude of the
Financial Adviser, a Haitian official, to the President of the
Republic and the other members of the Government, an attitude
which is an insult to the entire nation.
J. BARAU, Secretary of Foreign Affairs.
