SummaryResumen
A columnist in The News and Views commented on promotional circulars distributed by the Dominican Republic explaining that domestic gambling profits were directed toward cultural programs and public relations. The writer satirically suggested that European debtor nations might follow the Dominican example of using casinos, sports, and tourism revenue to eliminate foreign debt. The article noted Dominican claims of agricultural diversification, industrial expansion, and successful debt-free national development.
