SummaryResumen
The Evening Star published a letter from Dominican exile Persio C. Franco criticizing former Secretary of State Cordell Hull for congratulating President Rafael Trujillo on paying off the Dominican foreign debt. Franco condemned Hull's praise as inappropriate, accusing Trujillo of seizing power through treason in 1930 and maintaining control through terror and murder. Franco appealed to democratic nations to support the Dominican people in reclaiming their freedom rather than endorsing the dictatorship.
El *Evening Star* publicó una carta suscrita por el exiliado dominicano Persio C. Franco en la que censuraba al exsecretario de Estado Cordell Hull por extender salutaciones al gobernante Rafael Trujillo con motivo de la cancelación total de la deuda exterior de la república. Franco tildó de imprudente el encomio de Hull, denunciando que Trujillo se entronizó en el poder mediante la traición en 1930 y sojuzgaba a la nación mediante el crimen y el terror estatal. Franco exhortó a los pueblos democráticos del orbe a amparar a la ciudadanía dominicana en su anhelo libertario en lugar de convalidar la tiranía.
