SummaryResumen
The *Washington Daily News* published a chronology of Representative Hamilton Fish's connections to General Rafael Trujillo, including a 1939 goodwill tour of the Dominican Republic. At a New York banquet that year, Fish praised Trujillo as a builder greater than Spanish conquistadores, even as protesters outside condemned the Dominican generalissimo. The paper noted that $25,000 was deposited to Fish's account as part of a $300,000 credit established for Trujillo through the Dominican Legation before Fish sailed for Europe.
*The Washington Daily News* insertó una cronología sobre las vinculaciones del legislador Hamilton Fish con el general Rafael Trujillo, recordando su periplo de acercamiento a la República Dominicana realizado en 1939. Durante un banquete en Nueva York aquel año, Fish encumbró a Trujillo ponderándolo como un constructor superior a los conquistadores españoles, al paso que en la vía pública manifestantes fustigaban al generalísimo quisqueyano. El rotativo hizo notar que se giraron 25.000 dólares a la cuenta corriente de Fish mediante una partida de 300.000 dólares habilitada para Trujillo por conducto de la Legación dominicana antes de su viaje a Europa.
