I have heard it said that unless the President is given the authority proposed in the substitute. the United States will be left in a position where it will be unable to place itself on record as being opposed to dictatorships. I frankly do not know whether the Dominican Republic is a dictatorship at this time. Trujillo Is not In power. a reform government is in charge there. Much progress has been made. amnesty has been given to political refugees. opposition parties are operating openly. municipal elections are scheduled for this winter and national elections next spring. These are not the symbols of a dictatorship. But even if the Government of the Dominican Republic were a dictatorship. is not the Government of Cuba an even more intolerable dictatorship?
