SummaryResumen
The *Brownsville Herald* reported that Joseph E. Davies secured President Roosevelt's intervention to ease the terms of the Dominican Republic's foreign debt after the State Department objected to the proposal. In return for adjusting the debt, Davies was promised a $450,000 fee from the Dominican government, of which he had collected $250,000 while Trujillo retained the remainder. The article noted that Davies had also been expected to obtain a new loan for Trujillo, but failed to do so.
