SummaryResumen

The Evening Star reported that an inter-American peace committee urged Dominican President Rafael Trujillo to refrain from force unless attacked, citing commitments under the Rio Mutual Defense Treaty. Dominican Secretary of State Virgilio Diaz Ordonez defended the government's stance against alleged invasion preparations in Cuba but expressed readiness to accept conciliatory recommendations. The committee's ongoing efforts followed repeated crises involving the 1947 Cayo Confites expedition, a failed airborne invasion in 1949, and recurring friction with Haiti.

El *Evening Star* informó que una comisión interamericana de paz instó al presidente dominicano Rafael Trujillo a abstenerse de usar la fuerza a menos que fuera atacado, citando los compromisos contraídos bajo el Tratado de Asistencia Recíproca de Río.

The move was directed to Cuba

where Mr. Trupillo charged a new

attempt to mount an invasion of

the Dominican Republic is going

on. This was strongly denied by

Cuba.

The committee’s note asked Mr.

Trujillo not to use force unless

under armed attack in accordance

with terms of the Rio mutual

defense treaty.

In reply, Dominican Secretary

of State Virgilio Diaz Ordonez

said “no other country or govern

way as we are doing now.” But

he added that the republic

would respond to any conciliatory

gesture to end the "abnormality

with which we are confronted.”

His note added the government

is ready to receive recommenda
