Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

The *Daily Worker* reported that following the marine withdrawal, Dominican President Vásquez assumed dictatorial powers that facilitated American corporate control of over 300,000 acres of sugar plantations. The article cited Charles G. Dawes's 1928 mission to structure the Dominican budget for repayments to the National City Bank under the customs treaty. It further claimed that High Commissioner Russell in Haiti feared the Dominican rebellion would inspire Haitian peasants to revolt against President Borno's administration.

ment aided the American imperial

ists to exploit the masses. The peas

ants have been deprived of their

land and are forced to work for the

American sugar centrals at starva

rations own over 300,000 acres of

Santo Domingo properties, and have

an investment of over $30,000,000

in the islands.

The masses are mainly Negro, In

dian and Spanish peasants.

In 1928 Charles G. Dawes went

to Santo Domingo to work out a
