The U.S. President’s Commission for the Study and Review of Conditions in Haiti, chaired by William Cameron Forbes, submitted its report on 26 March 1930. The report emerged after mass opposition and the 1929 killings, but it framed the crisis through U.S. strategic and financial responsibilities and repeatedly judged Haitian public opinion through an occupation-era lens. It proposed greater Haitianization of state services and gradual troop withdrawal, while maintaining U.S. financial oversight. Its dateable recommendations document how protest forced a change in imperial policy without immediately ending external control.
