SummaryResumen
The *Gazette* contrasted the lavish military honors previously accorded to Latin American dictators like Trujillo with the restrained, informal reception given to visiting Haitian President Sténio Vincent in Washington. Despite Vincent being the sitting president of a nation of 2.6 million, he received no 21-gun salute, fanfare, or military parade, meeting only Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles and a small delegation at the station. Critics questioned the appropriateness of celebrating authoritarian figures while giving a chilly welcome to the head of a neighboring constitutional republic.
El *Gazette* contrastó los fastuosos honores militares dispensados con anterioridad a dictadores latinoamericanos como Trujillo con el austero e informal recibimiento ofrecido en Washington al mandatario haitiano Sténio Vincent. A pesar de que Vincent ejercía la presidencia en funciones de un país de 2,6 millones de habitantes, no se le rindieron salvas de 21 cañonazos, fanfarrias ni desfiles de tropas, siendo recibido en la estación ferroviaria únicamente por el subsecretario de Estado Sumner Welles y una reducida comitiva. Quienes criticaron la actitud oficial cuestionaron la idoneidad de exaltar a mandatarios autócratas mientras se brindaba una fría acogida al gobernante de una vecina república constitucional.

President Vincent’s Chilly Official
Reception.
And now by way of contrast: the
reception tendered President Stenio
Vincent of Haiti on his arrival here,
early this month, was painfully in
adequate and restrained. No such
military display as w’as given Ba
tista, Somoza, and Trujillo was given
him, despite the fact that he is a
functioning President of a republic
in satisfactory, diplomatic relations
with our Government, and a part of
the Good Neighbor Society promoted
by the President and the State De
partment. Most informal was the re
ception given the active President of
the Little Black Republic, with a pop
ulation of approximately 2,600,000,
larger by 1,467,000 than Somoza’s
Nicaragua. President Vincent was
greeted at the station by Mr. Sum
ner Welles, under-secretary of state;
the President’s Naval and Military
aides, three representatives of the
State Department, Dr. Leo S. Rowe
of the Pan-American Union, and a

Presidential salute of 21 guns for
him; no fanfare, no military parade,
only the usual Presidential and State
Department luncheons; no gathering

display of any kind, no firemen, no
artillery, no “nothing” in keeping
