Passage summaryResumen del pasaje

The *Evening star* reported that Dr. Francisco Henriquez y Carvajal rejected assertions that the United States exercised a protectorate over the Dominican Republic, declaring that no treaty akin to the Platt Amendment existed. Henriquez explained that the 1907 convention was limited strictly to customs administration for debt repayment and, as President Roosevelt affirmed, conferred no authority for military intervention. He maintained that the agreement was temporary and would naturally expire once the foreign debt was fully discharged.

Henríquez explicó que la convención de 1907 se limitaba estrictamente a la administración aduanera para el pago de la deuda y que, como afirmó el presidente Roosevelt, no confería autoridad para una intervención militar. Sostuvo que el acuerdo era temporal y que expiraría de manera natural una vez que la deuda externa quedara totalmente saldada.

Republic under some sort of a

treaty. He declares there is no such

treaty and that he would not favor

any treaty similar to that with Cuba

under the Piatt amendment.

"The financial convention of 1907

between the United States and Santo

Domingo," Dr. HenriqMez said, "concerns

only the collection of revenue

for the payment of the public debt,

which is supervised by both American

and Dominican officials. Mr

Roosevelt more than once referred to

this convention, pointing to the fact

that it does not imply any right of

intervention in Santo Domingo. The

interference of our government is

minimized,' said Mr. Roosevelt, when

recommending the treaty to the Senate,

'so that we shall only act in

conjunction with the Santo Domingo

authorities to secure the proper administration

of the customs, and,

therefore, to secure the payment of

Just debts.' That convention is transitory,

and shall end when the foreign

debt of Santo Domingo is totally

paid, which will be a few years

hence."

thunderclap, will kill many hundreds

of them.
