SummaryResumen

The *Birmingham age-herald* reported that the inauguration of President General Horacio Vasquez ended more than eight years of Dominican struggle to regain national sovereignty following the 1916 military takeover. The report credited persistent Dominican protests and an advocacy campaign started in 1920 by former U.S. Minister Horace G. Knowles with leading to a Senate inquiry and subsequent withdrawal pact. It noted that full sovereignty was restored with the March 15 election, while transports were actively evacuating the remaining 1,800 American marines.

El *Birmingham age-herald* informó que la investidura del presidente, general Horacio Vásquez, puso fin a más de ocho años de lucha dominicana por recuperar la soberanía nacional tras la ocupación militar de 1916. El informe atribuyó a las persistentes protestas dominicanas y a una campaña de defensa iniciada en 1920 por el exministro estadounidense Horace G. Knowles el haber propiciado una investigación en el Senado y el posterior pacto de retirada. Señaló que la plena soberanía quedó restablecida con los comicios del 15 de marzo, mientras buques de transporte evacuaban activamente a los 1 800 infantes de marina estadounidenses restantes.
