Unshacklins San Domingo

Yesterday was tho day set In Ad-
miral Robison's proclamation for the
installation Of native provisional
government In the Dominican Re-
public. The United States, after
seven years Of uniustifled military
Intervention, is turning control Of
their country back to ths Domin-
leans.
Our military regime In the repub-
lie was not particularly harsh. It
has not been attended with geveri-
ties such as have marked our rule in
Haytt. There are not SO many
"cacos" in Ssn Domingo and the
population is not 80 close to primi-
tive barbarism as the Haytian hill
people are.
On the other hand, excuses for
Intervention were less patent in the
case of San Domingo. We had
convention by which we undertook to
supervise the collection of the Donlin-
lean customs and to apu'y Ger,
tain portion Of them to paying off
the republics foreign debt. That
convention, even if it's execution was
hindered, did not warrant President
Wilson and Secretary Daniels in
landing sailors, seizing the capital
and setting up an American pro-
tectorate.
There was q certain amount Of
welfare" work to be done In the
Dominican Republic as we'll as In
Hayti. Our naval representatives
have done it. That is the apology
made for our invasion Of Dominican
sovereignty. But it would have been
better to realize that our function
was merely to gather the insular
revenues and liquidatc a specified
debt, not to our own citizens, but 60
foreign nationals. We never had
commission from anybody to take
political control and administer the
country as q dependency.
The State Department under VII
son shifted responsibility for the
doings in Hayti and San Domingo
to the Navy Department, Under
Harding the problem has been
treated as diplomatic rather than
q military ona. The Administration
