The Minister in the Dominican Republic (Schoenfeld) to the Secretary of State
[Received 5:42 p.m.]
37. My telegram No. 35, September 6, 1 p.m. I asked the Minister for Foreign Affairs today when the Government might be expected to take a decision regarding a remittance from surplus in the emergency fund for amortization on the funded debt. The Minister told me that a decision would probably be taken in the next day or two. He added that the Dominican Minister to the United States, who arrived here this morning by air, had brought with him a financial plan which Minister for Foreign Affairs said had received the personal approval of the Secretary of State at Washington. The Minister for Foreign Affairs was not informed as to the details of this plan as he had not yet seen Despradel who was in conference with the President but he mentioned that a telegram had recently been received from Newman, Financial Adviser, to the effect that all “desiderata” of the Dominican Government had been obtained.
