SAN JUAN, P. R.—Martin Tra
vieso, of the Santo Domingo claims
commission of 1917, has recently ar
rived here from San Domingo on
his way to New York and Wash
ington to submit to the United
States Government a memorandum
on conditions in Santo Domingo.
Mr. Travieso, who was formerly
lieutenant-governor of Porto Rico
and is a native of this island, said
he doubted very much whether the
Spanish colony in Santo Domingo
would support the suggestion made
by prominent leaders, deputies, and
senators of Spain that this would
be an opportune time for the United
States to withdraw its troops from
Santo Domingo. It will be recalled
that this suggestion, signed by a
number of leading Spaniards, was
forwarded by the Spanish govern
ment to Washington a few weeks
ago.
Mr. Travieso said he had heard
of the Spanish suggestion while ir
Santo Domingo, but that apparentlj
little was known about it there. “1
have talked with many Spaniard;
in the island." said he, “and theii
(condition is so much better today
owing to the temporary Americav
government, than it was during th<
revolutionary days of the variou:
independent Dominican governments
that 1 am sure they would be op
posed to any change that would ten<
to make their conditions less favor
able than they are today.
“There is one point on which thi
people of Santo Domingo are firm!:
united,” he continued. “They di
not want to be a part of the Unite;
States. They want their countr.
preserved for them until such tim
as the word independence will b.
: synonymous with liberty.”
Mr. Travieso said that the miii
:tary government in many ways ha.
been most successful in Santo Do
mingo and he thought it had taugh
the Dominicans that a governmer.
could be maintained by adequat
military forces. In his opinion th
time has come when a civil govern
ment should be established large!;
among the Dominicans themselves
with the support of the Unite.
States and Americans troops t
maintain order if necessary.
He expressed the opinion that th
United States should declare its in
tentions regarding its future polic;
in the island, and said that Domin
icans now are opposed to militar
occupation because they are uncer
tain when it may be terminated. H
believes the leaders would supper

thusiastically if they could do so
without at the same time being ac
cused of being traitors.
Since the American military oc
cupation in November, 1916, said
i Air. Travieso, revolutions have been
i stopped, order has been established,
land the country is in a more pros
perous condition than ever before.
(Property owners and the more sub
stantial element throughout Santo
Domingo, he declared, are largely
(agreed that it is for the best in
terest of the country for the Ameri
jcan supervision of Dominican af
fairs to be continued until it is safe
to turn the government back to the
! Dominicans themselves, but all Do
* minicans are united in wanting
jtheir independence as a nation main

| LON'DON, Eng. — Premier Lloyd
j George’s announcement of the sus
pension of Board of Trade licens
iing restrictions on the importation
^of American automobiles was the
Jresult of an increasing preference
| on the part of English motorists for
the American cars quite as 'much
as the urgency of increased motor
transport to supplement other means
iof conveyance.
Formerly in England there was
• (considerable prejudice against Am
jerican made motor cars. This preju
( dice is now ascribed either to ig
' ‘noranee of their true worth or to
'snobbery. One contributor to a
I British motor trade journal declare?:
“Quite honestly, there is no bet
' ter value for money in the motor
'world than the average American
car. The point at the moment, how
■*ever. is not exactly one of sheer
I value, but whether, in our own best
■ interests in the long run. we should
: admit the vehicles freely, ration
their import, or bar them altogether.
! "At the present time there is a
■ desperate shortage of motors in this
■ country. Our own manufacturers,
owing chiefly to circumstances over
> which they have no control, are
' unable to meet the demand, and so,
1 to some extent, we benefit immedi
ately by importing motor vehicles
i from the United States.
“At the same time, the fact re
mains that the American factories
■ cannot, for a considerable time, meet
their own demands; yet they are
■ willing to keep their own market
1 short in their attempt to consol
; idate and increase their foreign
■ markets. There is ample food for
thought in this fact."
When questioned by a deputation
of British automobile manufactur
ers. Sir Auckland Geddes, minister
for national service and reconstruc
tion, gave them no hope that n
tariff would be imposed on Ameri
can motor cars.
