SummaryResumen

The Daily Alaska Empire reported that a Venezuelan White Paper accused Dominican President Rafael Trujillo of stockpiling vast Brazilian arms shipments, transported via his presidential yacht, for potential aggression against Venezuela. Venezuelan authorities highlighted imports of 10,000 rifles and 800 machine guns as exceeding legitimate Dominican defense requirements. While asserting a right to sever diplomatic ties, the Venezuelan government affirmed it would not initiate hostilities unless compelled to defend its sovereignty.

El *Daily Alaska Empire* informó que un Libro Blanco emitido por el gobierno de Venezuela denunció al gobernante dominicano Rafael Trujillo por acopiar voluminosos envíos de material de guerra procedentes del Brasil, trasladados a bordo de su yate oficial de recreo, con propósitos de agresión territorial contra suelo venezolano. La cancillería venezolana remarcó que las compras de 10.000 fusiles y 800 ametralladoras desbordaban con creces las urgencias ordinarias de defensa de la nación caribeña. Pese a arrogarse la prerrogativa de quebrar los tratos bilaterales, el régimen de Caracas aseguró que no desencadenaría hostilidades salvo que se viera forzado a salvaguardar su territorio nacional.

them, the paper charges. One

shipment asserteclly included 10,000

rifles with 30,000,000 rounds of

ammunition and 800 machine guns.

The paper points out that this is

more than is needed for Dominican

defense, and warns gravely that

the situation "should constitute a

serious preoccupation for all the

American Governments.”

"Venezuela within her sovereign

rights could break relations with

the Dominican Government.' the

paper goes on. "but it would be

against the sympathetic ieeling,

the understanding and the friend

ship oi her people towards the

suffering Dominicans But our

Government will not lift a

finger to disturb the peace of the

Dominican Republic, nor do it in

the future unless we are obliged to

defend our own rights, our sover

eignty and our institutions.”
