SummaryResumen

The Key West Citizen reported that Haiti's application for an Export-Import Bank loan remained pending amid growing criticism from local Communists over past American occupation debts. Concurrently, Haitian President Dumarsais Estime moved toward closer ties with Argentina, with President Juan Domingo Peron reportedly extending credit and diplomatic overtures. The report also referenced the neighboring Dominican Republic under President Rafael Trujillo sharing the island of Hispaniola.

El *Key West Citizen* reportó que la petición formulada por Haití para un empréstito ante el Export-Import Bank permanecía irresuelta, en medio del creciente clamor opositor comunista derivado de las deudas financieras acarreadas de la pasada ocupación militar estadounidense. A la par, el gobernante haitiano Dumarsais Estimé procuraba estrechar lazos con Argentina, país cuyo mandatario Juan Domingo Perón le había extendido ofertas crediticias y diplomáticas. La nota aludió además a la condición de vecindad que unía a Haití con la República Dominicana de Rafael Trujillo en el suelo compartido de La Española.
