Dispatches to the State Department
within the week reporting an agree
ment among the various political fac
tions of santo Domingo on the selec-
ton Of Juan Bautista Vicini Burgos
as provisional president of the Do
mipican republic indicate marked
progress IN the negotiations looking
to a final withdrawal of American
troops from the island republic and
the final establishment there of a
constitutional government.
While it will be some time before
the United States retires wholly from
its position as guardian over the af-
fairs Of the republic, the fact that an
factions whose unwillingness or in
ability to reach a common under
standing has accounted in a great
measure for the muddled state of af-
fairs in Santo Domingo shows an
important step forward toward the
proclamation officially announcing
the selection of Mr.. Burgos is ex-
pected within few days.
Satisfaction is expressed here over
the general progress which has been
made in settling the Dominican ques-
chief Of the Latin American division
of the State Department, was sent
there on special mission during the
summer. He apparently has been
helpful in bringing about the first
move toward carrying out the pro-
gram entertained by the State De
partment for the evacuation of troops
from the republic. Whether he will
remain there to assist in further pre-
liminaries is not known.
The New Executive.
Butgos, happily to say, is not an
active politician. nor has he been
identified particularly with any one
faction One of the best known men
in Santo Domingo, he has made his
reputation as a business administra-
tor and has accumulated a comfort
able fortune. The fact that he is not
a politician as well as his business
ability probably account for Eis Sc
lection as the man who must play a
large part in leading his people out
or the wilderness. Economic. and
government and the administration
of the expenditures, which must in
crease, will have to be carefully
planned in view of the republics de-
Tcreased revenues. Investments and
new enterprises will be slow in com.
ability to manage it's own AFFAIRS,
and with economic difficulties similar
to those which have prevailed every
where in the last few years, the situ-
alton in Santo Domingo will require
steady and experienced hand at
the wheel
The next step toward making Santo
Domingo Independent will be the ap-
pointment by the provisional presi-
dent of a cabinet which will head
the executive departments of the pro-
visional government. The admins
tration of the republics affairs, how
ever. will continue to be a half-and
half proposition. Ofhcials now in
charge of the executive departments
of the military government will as
sist the provisional cabinet members
in the exercise OF their duties. Nc
expenditures will be made by the
provisional government outside OF
those provided for in the national
| budget. except in cases of emergency
and with the consent of the mill.
