...first days of THE Revolution had there been such violence on an election day. Heavy gunfire did not begin until nearly noon, when Almazanistas attacked the barricaded building of El Popular, CTM newspaper. Two were killed. Other clashes occurred near the Post Office (four dead) and in Santo Domingo Garden (two dead). So it went until 2 o'clock when, election or no election, Mexicans took their siestas. At 4:30 the shooting began again. Bombs, tear gas, machine guns were brought into play. Federal troops, cavalry, police did their share of killing. Early and decidedly incomplete return...

S. entry into the war, and in The Nation he set out to blast imperialism, war, monopoly, reaction. The Nation campaigned to have U. S. troops recalled from Santo Domingo, Haiti, Nicaragua, denounced the Treaty of Versailles, fulminated against lynching, helped to uncover the Teapot Dome oil scandals...
...hospitality. Along with New York's Republican Representative Hamilton Fish and Democratic Representative Matthew Merritt, Democrat Green was the guest last fortnight of the Dominican Republic's Generalissimo Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina. In Ciudad Trujillo (the General's new name for the venerable city of Santo Domingo), the U. S. delegation looked upon 1) a box (which remained unopened) containing a tiny heap of bone & dust billed as the true "last parts" of Christopher Columbus, and 2) the charm of Trujillo, who wants to improve his press relations...
