...failure to fulfill campaign promises, and his softness toward Communists; yet had we intervened then rather than now in support of a freely elected constitutional government, no one could accuse us of intervening on the side of a military clique without popular support. If last week's revolt began, as the President says, as "an action dedicated to social justice," why did no word of encouragement come from Washington in the period before the Communists began to infiltrate the rebel ranks? If our foreign policy continues to be mainly "anti" in underdeveloped countries that require drastic social and land...
...adherence of the United States to the Monroe Doctrine may force the United States however reluctantly ... to the exercise of an international police power " Teddy's was the Big Stick.

Another Fidel? Thus, late last week, the Dominican Republic got a loyalist government that could assert its right to govern against the claims of the so-called "constitutionalist" government of Rebel Colonel Francisco Caamaño Deñó, 32, the officer who triggered the revolt on April 24. Caamaño's political background is murky. He is quarrelsome, opportunistic, a plotter who, in the words of one U.S. official, "has the potential of becoming another Fidel Castro." His father, Lieut. General Fausto Caamaño, was boss of Trujillo's secret police, took a leading part...
