Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

The Salt Lake Tribune reviewed the origin of the 1905 Dominican modus vivendi, crediting former American Minister Thomas C. Dawson with devising the administrative revenue plan. Put into effect on April 1, 1905, the agreement placed customs collection under American officials who distributed funds between the government and foreign creditors. The article observed that civil conflicts ceased almost immediately once revolutionists were unable to seize customs houses and revenues.

The Salt Lake Tribune examinó el origen del modus vivendi dominicano de 1905, reconociendo al exministro estadounidense Thomas C. Dawson la concepción del plan administrativo de recaudación. Puesto en vigor el 1 de abril de 1905, el acuerdo confió el cobro aduanero a funcionarios estadounidenses que distribuían los fondos entre el gobierno y los acreedores extranjeros. El artículo observó que las guerras civiles cesaron casi de inmediato una vez que los revolucionarios se vieron impedidos de apoderarse de las aduanas y de sus caudales.
