HIM 3 STATINTL
To stun it up, who killed Trujillo is not clear, but with his death,
'1'rujilloism does not end, nor does the. struggle of the Dominican
people. "Senator Saatliers and the agents of the Central Intelligence
Agency and Mr. Kennedy must. know that, iit all of this, yet to be heard
is the voice of the martyred a.nd,.hereic people, who cannot be deceived
this time. They have the syugwt'1hy and,, the moral support of all the
peoples of Latin America." For Latin Ame4Ua, Mr. Smathers, the time
has come for the end of both the Trujillos and .u1illoism and,
above all, the timd has. come for national independence-tai' the Latin
American nations and the end forever for what creates tyrannies and
tyrants in Latin America--Yankee imperialism.

("The March of History" by Luis Gomez Wanguemert)
(Suu=ary) The important factors behind the assassination of Dominican
dictator Trujillo are not yet known. It is not known for what reason
General Diaz and his friends ambushed Trujillo. It is not known
whether the plot was motivated by a domestic maneuver to succeed him
in the dictatorship, or whether the assassination was the result of
an intrnational intrigue to free the Caribbean from this sinister
fig-are with'a view to engineering a democratic farce in the
Dominican Republic which would allow its status within the hemisphere
community to be restored.
Of course, there is no doubt that the United States is interested in the
return of the Dominican Republic to the OAS as a member in good standing
in order to guarantee its sugar supply through the control of
Dominican production and by preventing in that wgcy the rise of prices
in the protected market. There is no doubt that the return of the
Dominica,, Republic to the OAS is very beneficial for the North American
investors who have factories, and plants there.
On the other hand, Trujillo had lost much of his usefulness to the
United States. Tru,;illo had become, in fact, an unwelcome associate
capable of producing disagreeable and embarrassing situations as in the
case of professor Gaiindez. Although there are no proofs and(concrete
charges cannot be made, it is not possible to dismiss the likelihood
that the assassination of Trujillo has been planned, organized, and
executed from a distance by the same hands that had engineered and
directed an even worse crime, the armed aggression against Cuba.
There are already indiahtions in the United States that the State
Department and influential members of the capitol are attempting to
take adlantage of the fall of the old dictator in order to create
in the Dominican Republic a situation favorable to North American interests.
