SummaryResumen
The Nome Nugget reported on widespread regional and American protests after the Dominican congress granted President Rafael Trujillo authority to declare war on nations harboring hostile forces. Trujillo frequently accused Cuba, Guatemala, and Venezuela of sponsoring plots against his government while state-controlled Dominican media publicized invasion rumors. Observers questioned whether the legislation foreshadowed foreign aggression or merely served as domestic propaganda to justify military expenditures.
El *Nome Nugget* informó sobre las amplias protestas regionales y estadounidenses surgidas luego de que el congreso dominicano otorgara al presidente Rafael Trujillo autorización para declarar la guerra a las naciones que albergaran fuerzas hostiles. Trujillo acusaba con frecuencia a Cuba, Guatemala y Venezuela de patrocinar complots contra su gobierno, mientras los medios estatales dominicanos difundían rumores de invasión. Los observadores cuestionaban si la legislación presagiaba una agresión exterior o si servía simplemente como propaganda interna para justificar gastos militares.

demanded that his congress vote him authority to de
clare war on any country that “knowingly tolerates or
protects” forces hostile to his country.
When the law was passed there were protests from
the United States and from countries throughout the
Caribbean area. President Trujilo has frequently ac
cused Cuba, Guatemala, Venezuela and other nations of
harboring enemies and plotting attacks upon his regime.
The Dominican press, which is not at all free, often pub
lishes reports of alleged mobilizations designed for the
invasion of the republic.
Just why the dictator wanted his congress to pass
such a law is uncertain. Whether it means a possible
attack on some other nation or represents nothing but
propaganda to justify heavy expenditures for Trujilo’s
army is not known.
WHAT EXPLAINS SUCCESS?
An idea seems to be spreading throughout the land
that men and women achieve success through the opera
tion of government rather than by their own patient
persistence in honest endeavor.
The readers of the NUGGET, especially young (men
and women, should not be misled in this respect. They
should realize that worthwhile success in life is
achieved almost exclusively through personal endeavor.
After all is said and done, the vast majority of busi
ness successes owe their growth to one or more rare in
dividuals who give to the enterprise a contribution that
includes, not only physical effort, but superior intelli
gence and the wisdom that arises from the intangible
thing that we call “character”.
