El *Evening Star* reprodujo una entrevista concedida por el presidente Rafael Trujillo en la cual hizo pública su intención de promover un sistema bipartidista o tripartidista con sufragio irrestricto en el marco del 450.º aniversario de Santo Domingo. Trujillo negó tachaduras de autócrata sosteniendo que sus detractores obedecían a móviles inconfesables, y prometió conceder indulto y amnistía general a los refugiados políticos para garantizar su retorno al terruño. Afirmó enfáticamente que el país gozaba de sosiego institucional ante las elecciones presidenciales convocadas para el 16 de mayo de 1947.
