SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that Italian consular representative Amadeo Barletta was arrested in Santo Domingo on charges of conspiring against President Rafael Trujillo, though sources alleged the real motive was his refusal to sell his stake in the Dominican Tobacco Company to Trujillo's associates. Barletta's arrest resulted in the government seizure of company revenues that partially belonged to an American firm. Italian and U.S. diplomats conferred in Washington to resolve the dispute without direct Italian intervention in the republic.

San Domingo, the real reason for Bar

i letta's arrest is that he refused to sell

i the Domini' an Tobacco Co. to Tru

jillo's henchmen.

The Dominican President, who al

ready has complete monopoly over

the telephone, the ice and the meat

companies in the republic, wanted to

obtain control over the tobacco com

pany. too. Barletta owns 50 per cent

of the stock and refused to sell iu‘.

Hense the charge that he was plotting

to overthrow Trujillo, which enabled

the authorities of San Domingo to

arrest Barletta.

According to the Dominican laws,

any individual gruilty of conspiring

against the safety of the republic—

and Trujillo is the republic—will be

arrested and his property confiscated.

come of the Dominican Tobacco Co. is

i being paid into the treasury of the

Dominican government. This means

that the Dominican authorities are

confiscating a revenue which belongs

partly to an American concern.

Ambassador Rosso here and his

counsellor, Marquis Rossi Longhi,

have had several conversations with

officials of the State Department try

ing to settle the matter without Italy

having to intervene directly In the

Dominican Republic. They did not

make any official representations, but

merely discussed the matter con

can companies are Involved in this

incident.
