SummaryResumen

The Birmingham Age-Herald reported testimony by Walter W. Vick alleging that Minister James M. Sullivan secretly solicited a $500,000 loan from Dominican banks, falsely claiming U.S. approval to raise the republic's debt limit.

fitness of James M. Sullivan to be min

ister to the Dominican republic. His

testimony today was offered to show

tliat Sullivan, without the knowledge of

the government at Washington and

without the approval of the Dominican

congress, had endeavored to pave the

way for negotitions of a $500,000 loan

for the Dominican government through

banks in the republic.

Vick asserted that W. W. Smith, sec

retary of legation, first told him of the

proposed loan, and that later a Domin

ican banker showed him a letter from

Sullivan which was sent to the three

banks in San Domingo city seeking to

open negotiations for the loan. A copy

of this letter was placed in the record.

It set forth that Sullivan had been in

structed by his government to arrange

the loan, that Dominican bonds would

bo issued to repay it and that the

United States w'ould agree to an ex

tension of the legal limit of the Domin

ican debt to cover the amount. The re

cent revolution brought the entire mat

ter to a close, Vick said.

Vick denied charges as to his per

sonal conduct made by H. S. Dickey and

supported by an affidavit of two Do

minicans. He discussed at length various

charges made against him in the course

of the hearings and denies that a min

ing scheme with which he was once

connected had “swindled fhe public out

of $6,000,000.
