SummaryResumen
The *Evening Star* reported that the Dominican Council of State headed by Rafael Bonnelly implemented significant economic reforms, including doubling sugar workers' minimum wages and launching public works. The transitional government confiscated the extensive holdings of the Trujillo family—redistributing an estimated 40 percent of the nation's wealth—while counting on pledged United States assistance for economic recovery.

"Everything is being planned
now for the period of renova- 1
tion."
This careful, step-by-step ap- J
proach is the creed of the new
order. It is the creed of basi
cally conservative men with
social consciences, men who be
lieve in evolution, not revolu
tion. Rather than drama, they
want stability.
They have already raised the
basic wage of sugar workers 100
per cent—to a minimum of
$3.25 per day. These and other
lesser wage increases—plus con
fiscation of the huge Trujillo
noldings—are estimated to have
redistributed 40 per cent of the
wealth of the country already.
An emergency public works pro
gram emphasizing manpower
more than scarce materials is
also making the first minor dent
in widescale unemployment.
“We are open for foreign in-1
vestment.” affirmed Mr. Bon-!
nelly, “and we want it. But
that investment must benefit'
both the Dominican people and
the investors. It will be chan
neled through our new planning
commission.”
U. S. Aid Important
It was a gentle—but clear—
slap at the small trickle of
North American “businessmen”!
who have arrived to speculate;
on the Dominican future. They!
check in at the best hotel in J
town and then pursue new offi
cials with a high-pressure sales
pitch.
But the new leaders are far
more intent on how the United
States Government lives up to
its commitments of all-out aid.
This potential aid is the third
and by far the strongest trump
in government hands. By gen
eral consensus the aid is essen-;
tial to swift economic recovery.
