SummaryResumen
The *Washington Daily News* addressed reports from Puerto Rican exiles that General Rafael Trujillo had negotiated with Germany to lease Samaná Bay as a submarine base, dismissing the claims as improbable. The writer argued that Trujillo sought friendly relations with the United States and would view leasing the bay to Nazi Germany as an act of hostility. The piece asserted that in any emergency, Trujillo would likely grant the U.S. Navy use of Samaná Bay and other Dominican ports.
El *Washington Daily News* abordó las versiones de exiliados puertorriqueños que sostenían que el general Rafael Trujillo había negociado con Alemania el arrendamiento de la bahía de Samaná como apostadero para submarinos, catalogando las afirmaciones de improbables. El editorialista razonó que Trujillo procuraba cultivar lazos cordiales con Estados Unidos y consideraría la cesión de la bahía a la Alemania nazi como una provocación hostil. El artículo aseguraba que, ante cualquier contingencia, era más probable que Trujillo concediera a la Armada estadounidense el uso de la bahía de Samaná y de otros puertos dominicanos.

ANENT SAMANA BAY
Now, once more anent Samana Bay.
The other day it was reported that
Gen. Trujillo had negotiated with Ger
many for the lease of that strategic
body of water as a submarine base.
The report emanated from Puerto Rico,
where there are a number of exiled
enemies of the Generalissimo. It does
seem that in view of the fact the
General desires only the friendliest re
lations with this country, he would be
smarter than to enter into any such
negotiations. Especially when he had
so recently entertained a number of
prominent Americans in his own house.
The lease of the bay to the Nazis
would not only be an unfriendly act
to the United States, but a hostile one.
And, also in view of this same friend
liness, it is certain that at any emer
gency the General would permit the
United States Navy the use of Samana
Bay or any other Dominican port, as a
submarine base or any other military
faculty.
These aren’t direct quotes from the
Generalissimo, but they are very defi
nitely the impression received during
our visit. The General knows that we
are friendly to his country, but he also
knows that we expect him to play ball
with us.
SOME MORE ITEMS
Here are just a few more facts about
our visit. The General was the best
of hosts. For young Ham Fish and
young Dick Chatfield-Taylor, he ar
ranged endless amusement. The night
before we left Trujillo City he asked
the boys if they’d like to see a Wild
West movie. Such fun. But little did
the boys know, until they arrived at
