known to the world the truth of the
happenings in Santo Domingo before
and after American occupation.
La Manund quotes the erstwhile
President as saying the isolation OF the
Dominican Republic is so great that not
even in official circles in the United
States are known the details Of the
situation, which he Is convinced has
been brought about without the consent
of the American people and against
their democratic sentiments"

functionaries in direct contact with the
Navy Department" he continues, pos
sess knowledge on the question, which
they try not to divulge. II 1t were not

President-elect Harding the tombstone
OF silence would still weigh on the Do
minican people,"
The former President and his nephew
assert that reports of the Ill treatment
Of Dominicans by United States marines
are absolutely true" They make nd
merous other charges against the oc-
cupation forces, but say they are COLI
