More on The Trujillo EraMás sobre La era de Trujillo

SummaryResumen

*The Indianapolis Times* quoted an observer named Morales describing the fear of citizens who avoid listening to anti-Trujillo broadcasts lest neighbors report them with fatal consequences, and noting that Trujillo made his five-year-old son a full colonel. Morales stated that Trujillo, who rose from constabulary sergeant during the U.S. Marine occupation to seize power via a 1930 coup, had eliminated all other political parties and won unanimous reelection. Morales argued that while the "Old Deal" installed Trujillo, the United States' non-interventionist "Good Neighbor" policy effectively kept the dictator in power.

*The Indianapolis Times* citó a un observador de apellido Morales, quien describió el temor de los ciudadanos que evitaban escuchar transmisiones radiales contrarias a Trujillo por miedo a ser delatados por sus vecinos con consecuencias fatales, e indicó que Trujillo había nombrado coronel de pleno derecho a su hijo de cinco años. Morales afirmó que Trujillo, quien ascendió desde sargento de la policía nacional durante la ocupación de los marines estadounidenses hasta tomar el poder mediante el golpe de 1930, había liquidado a todos los demás partidos políticos y ganado una reelección unánime. Morales sostuvo que si bien el «Old Deal» instaló a Trujillo, la política no intervencionista del «Buen Vecino» de Estados Unidos mantenía efectivamente al dictador en el poder.

"It isn't that they are fond of the

dictator. They arc afraid neigh

bors or passer-by might hear an

anti-Trujillo speech coming out of

the house and report its inmates as

enemies. And that might bring

fatal consequences.

"The dictator is the law of the

land. He has a 5-year-old son

named after him. Trujillo made

him a full-fledged colonel of the

army or constabulary—not just an

honorary colonel such as the Czar

and junior officers click their heels

and salute him.”

Made One President

President Trujillo rose from ob

scurity. He was a sergeant of con

stabulary when -the. American

Marines were in occupation. Later

he rose to captain, colonel, and

second in command. In lf3o, by a

coup d'etat, he put a temporary

president in office, then held an

election and made himself chief of

state.

There are no longer any political

parlies in Santo Domingo." said i

Morales. "There is only one party

and that is Trujillo’s. So, when.

Trujillo ran for re-election last

year, no one else received a vote.;

He was re-elected unanimously. He

doubtless will continue to be, every

four years hereafter.

•It was the ‘Old Deal’ that put

Trujillo in power. But it is the

•New Deal* that keeps him there.

The American policy of ‘th, good

neighbor’ is splendid. But in this

particular case Washington's de

termination not to intervene in any

way is playing into the hands of a
