839.00 Revolutions/20: Telegram

The Minister in the Dominican Republic ( Curtis ) to the Acting Secretary of State

[Paraphrase]

22. In spite of the solemn assurances given to my predecessor6 and to the authorities, it is now absolutely clear that General Trujillo conspired with the revolutionary leaders and has repeatedly betrayed the Government. For this reason it appears highly desirable that [Page 705] General Trujillo be not named on the list of any party. It is furthermore necessary that General Trujillo and Colonel Díaz, who has likewise been unfaithful, be removed from the Army, but this will hardly be accomplished without the assistance of the Legation.

Curtis
  1. Reported in despatch No. 1549, December 25, 1929, from the Minister in the Dominican Republic; not printed (839.00/3340).
