Santo Domingo, November 29, 1922—noon.
[Received November 30—10 a.m.]

46. Your telegram number 30, November 28, 7 p.m. Cable as received does not show what law is meant. Electoral law not yet promulgated. Commission has been in session at the Legation for the past ten days and the law will probably be in condition for publication within a week or ten days but will not be promulgated by the Provisional Government until the people have had the opportunity to criticise and suggest changes.
