SummaryResumen

The *Dayton Forum* reported that President Trujillo agreed to conciliation over Haitian claims that thousands of its citizens were massacred by Dominican forces along the border, after previously insisting the matter was strictly internal. The article linked the October clashes to seasonal labor migration for the Dominican sugar harvest, where Haitians worked long hours for low daily wages. Historical animosities between the neighboring populations also contributed to tensions surrounding the conflict.

El *Dayton Forum* informó que el presidente Trujillo aceptó someterse a conciliación ante los reclamos de Haití por la masacre de miles de sus conciudadanos a manos de fuerzas dominicanas en la frontera, habiendo insistido previamente en que se trataba de un asunto estrictamente interno. El artículo vinculó los choques de octubre con la migración laboral estacional para la zafra azucarera dominicana, en la que los haitianos realizaban largas jornadas por bajos salarios diarios. Las animosidades históricas entre ambas poblaciones vecinas también alimentaron las tensiones en torno al conflicto.
