SummaryResumen
The *Daily Worker* condemned U.S. support for General Trujillo's regime in the Dominican Republic, noting heavy American capital investments and the use of U.S. currency on the island. Citing declarations from the Caribbean Red Aid, the publication alleged that Dominican authorities arbitrarily arrested workers as vagrants to condemn them to forced labor in brutal prisons. The editorial demanded that U.S. officials apply the same forced-labor import bans to Dominican sugar, cocoa, and tobacco that were imposed against Soviet imports.
El *Daily Worker* condenó el respaldo estadounidense al régimen del general Trujillo en la República Dominicana, resaltando las cuantiosas inversiones de capital norteamericano y el uso de la moneda de Estados Unidos en la isla. Citando declaraciones del Socorro Rojo del Caribe, el diario denunció que las autoridades dominicanas arrestaban arbitrariamente a trabajadores bajo cargos de vagancia para destinarlos a trabajos forzados en prisiones brutales. El editorial exigió a los funcionarios de Washington aplicar al azúcar, cacao y tabaco dominicanos las mismas restricciones de importación por trabajo forzado impuestas a los productos soviéticos.

under General Trujillo set up a year
ago, with which Washington is in
perfect relations.
To show how much an appendix
is Santo Domingo to the U, S. A., we
may merely state the fact that it
has no national money of its own,
and uses United States money. Amer
ican investments a year ago totalled
$29,548,000.
Yet what do we hear about forced
labor—not in the Soviet Union—but
right here at America's doorstep and
under its control?
The workers' defense organization
know’ll as the Caribbean Red Aid, in
a recent statement on conditions in
Santo Domingo, protests at the ter
ror against the Dominican working
class, and says:
“The troops stop and question
workers in the streets of all the cities
of the country and after brief ques
tions and replies declare the passers
by ‘vagrants’ and take them off un
der arrest. Each one of those ar
rested awaits the most terrible prison
regime and FORCED LABOR.”
Perhaps Secretary Mellon of the
U S. Treasury will now put an em
bargo on all sugar, cocoa and tobacco
coming into American ports from
Santo Domingo? Perhaps he will de
cree that “the burden of proof” rests
on the various Yankee imperialist
corporations and the National City
Bank which finances them, to prove
that Dominican sugar, cocoa and ta
bacco are not produced “in whole or
in part by forced labor?”
This is the bar put against Soviet
lumber this last Monday. Ah, how
vigilant the Washington officials are!
They can see “forced labor” in the
distant camps of the Murmansk pen
insula in far-off Soviet Russia. And
their hearts throb with humane pity
