SummaryResumen
The *Evening Star* profiled General Rafael Trujillo, noting that despite being denounced as a tyrant and accused of the massacre of thousands of Haitians two years earlier, he was recognized for administrative energy and public works. Having taken power in 1930 under the slogan "God and Trujillo," he oversaw road construction, school expansion, and the rebuilding and renaming of the capital before handing the presidency to Dr. Jacinto Bienvenido Peynado. The article noted that Trujillo continued to direct Dominican governance while being celebrated by sympathetic biographers as an inspired leader.

if he is denounced as a tyrant and
accused of the massacre of thou
sands of Haitians two years ago,
during a border struggle along the
boundary between the Dominican
Republic and Haiti, there is no
doubt that he is a forceful leader
with a certain genius in public
finance.
He has an extraordinary concept
of himself as a child of destiny
When he was still a boy, he resolved
to be the president of the Domini
can Republic, where storm and strife
in politics and insecurity of tenure
for presidents was the classical
political situation. He won the post
in 1930, when he was 39, after a
campaign whose slogan was “God
and Trujillo.” He relinquished it
last August to a devoted follower.
Dr. Jacinto Bienvenido Feynado,
who still follows his wishes devotedly.
Gen. Trujillo's biographer suggests
that in his governing he is guided
by an “electric force” from Heaven.

republic, Santo Domingo, after the

his own honor) and enhanced the
lot of those persons in his country
who are willing to accept his leader

biography of him published as a
panegyric is revealing for all its
encomiums.

rapher, has an interesting con
