SummaryResumen
The *Evening Star* reported that the Dominican Republic suspended principal amortization payments on its foreign debt while maintaining interest payments, diverting customs revenues to internal operational expenses. Officials viewed the move as a breach of the 1924 treaty governing the American customs receivership, which required U.S. consent for debt modifications. The article noted that American private investments totaled nearly $70,000,000 alongside over $17,000,000 in Dominican government bonds.
El *Evening Star* informó que la República Dominicana suspendió los pagos de amortización del capital de su deuda externa aunque mantuvo los pagos por concepto de intereses, desviando las rentas aduaneras hacia gastos operativos internos. Funcionarios consideraron la medida como una violación del tratado de 1924 que regía la receptoría general de aduanas estadounidense, el cual exigía el consentimiento de Estados Unidos para cualquier modificación de la deuda. El artículo señaló que las inversiones privadas norteamericanas sumaban cerca de 70 000 000 de dólares, además de más de 17 000 000 de dólares en bonos del Estado dominicano.
