SummaryResumen
The *Evening Star* assessed the military vulnerabilities of Hispaniola, noting that the island's extensive coastline could offer bases to enemy forces threatening U.S. naval installations at Guantanamo Bay and Puerto Rico. While the Dominican Republic possessed a larger army than Haiti, it lacked airplanes, anti-aircraft weaponry, and artillery capable of resisting naval or aerial invasion. The article highlighted substantial pro-Axis sentiment in Santo Domingo, with British diplomats estimating that 75 percent of the populace favored Germany, though American observers believed sympathies were evenly divided.
El *Evening Star* evaluó las flaquezas castrenses y estratégicas de La Española, subrayando que su dilatado litoral brindaba fondeaderos idóneos para que fuerzas hostiles amagaran las bases navales de EE. UU. en Guantánamo y Puerto Rico. Aunque la República Dominicana contaba con un ejército más numeroso que Haití, adolecía de aviación bélica, cañones antiaéreos y artillería costera para repeler incursiones navales o bombardeos aéreos. El reportaje puso de relieve un arraigado sentir favorable al Eje en Santo Domingo, calculando los diplomáticos británicos que un 75 por ciento simpatizaba con Alemania, mientras que observadores estadounidenses estimaban dividida la opinión pública.

No other republic in this part of the
world has worked out Its plans in such

The coastline is extensive. There are
numerous bays and inlets and it could be
valuable as a base for an enemy force

Navy based at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba,
or to raid the defense base at Puerto
Rico.
The Haitians aren't trained strategists.
Uncle Sam's experts say the establish
ments in Cuba and Puerto Rico effec

Domingo from attack. The Haitians feel
no such assurance. They have a little
army, equipped with rifles and a small
cannon or two.
At the other end of the island the
Dominican Republic has a larger army

In Santo Domingo, as a matter of
fact, the pro-Axis element is large, much
more so than in Haiti, where the link
