More on The Customs ReceivershipMás sobre La receptoría de aduanas

SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that the State Department agreed to terminate the U.S. customs receivership in the Dominican Republic, restoring duty collections of roughly $4,000,000 annually to Dominican authorities. In exchange, the Dominican Republic granted the United States a first lien on its total revenues, estimated at $12,000,000, to guarantee the servicing of $15,400,000 in external debt. The treaty was negotiated in Ciudad Trujillo by U.S. Ambassador Hugh Wilson and Dominican Foreign Minister Arturo Despradel, ending the 1924 convention.

El tratado fue pactado en Ciudad Trujillo por el embajador estadounidense Hugh Wilson y el canciller dominicano Arturo Despradel, poniendo término a la convención de 1924.
