Severe opposition had arisen in the Dominican Congress and among the public, with opponents threatening lawmakers and alleging the treaty would give the United States an unshakable grip on the nation. The article argued that the treaty would protect Dominican independence and curb revolutionists, hoping the Dominican Congress would ultimately approve it.
