SummaryResumen

The *Evening Star* reported that Oliver P. Newman, representing a Dominican bondholders committee, informed President Roosevelt of full Dominican cooperation with the United States regarding Caribbean defense. Newman stated that Dominican customs receipts over the past year had successfully serviced government bonds and provided an extra distribution to coupon holders, while an American relief committee in the republic had raised $15,000 for wartime aid. However, Newman warned that maritime shipping shortages were causing serious difficulties for the island's domestic economy and trade.

El *Evening Star* informó que Oliver P. Newman, en representación del comité de bonistas dominicanos, transmitió al presidente Roosevelt la plena adhesión dominicana a los planes de defensa naval estadounidense en el Caribe. Newman aseveró que los aforos aduaneros del último ejercicio fiscal cubrieron holgadamente el servicio de los títulos del Estado y arrojaron dividendos extraordinarios para los tenedores, al paso que un comité de socorro estadounidense en el país recaudó 15.000 dólares en víveres y pertrechos de auxilio para el esfuerzo bélico. Sin embargo, Newman alertó de que el agudo déficit de bodega y transporte de cabotaje generaba graves estrangulamientos en la vida comercial interna de la isla.

Former District Commissioner

Oliver P. Newman, now representing

a Dominican Republic bondholders

committee, reported to President

Roosevelt today that there is com

plete co-operation by the Dominican

Republic with the United States in

defense of the Caribbean area.

An old friend of the President,

Mr. Newman is in Washington on a

month's furlough. He was a mem

ber of the Board of Commissioners

here from 1913 to 1917.

As he was leaving the White

House, Mr. Newman told reporters

the American War Relief Committee

in the little island territory has

raised $15,000 for contribution to

the Red Cross and allied agencies.

Mr. Newman said that Dominican

customs collections In the last year

have been enough to service the

government bonds and to make a

small extra payment to coupon

holders. He emphasized, however,

that the shipping problem is a seri

ous one for the ordinary commerce

and economy of the island.
