May Resume Aid

Some United States authori

ties foresaw a struggle for

power, both within the Trujillo

group and between it and the

large elements of Dominican

society persecuted during the

dictator’s 31-year rule. A con

tinued harsh right-wing regime

without Gen. Trujillo’s per

sonal leadership, they reasoned,

would set off revolt—perhaps

pro-Castro the next time.

The United States had sev

eral lures to attract Gen. Tru

jillo’s successors down the dem

ocratic path, a main aim of

Mr. Kennedy’s “Alliance for

Progress” Latin American pro

gram.

One is resumption of United

States aid, cut off when Wash

ington joined the other Ameri

can republics last year in

breaking diplomatic relations

and normal commercial ties

with Gen. Trujillo. Another

is an increase in United States

sugar purchases. The Do

minican economy has been

sagging.

The United States also could

take a leading role in a move

by the hemisphere organiza

tion, the Organization of Amer

ican States, in readmitting a

progressive Dominican regime

to the American family.
