§ 68. Major CHRISTOPHER LOWTHERasked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether he is aware that the United States Military Governor of the Republic of Santo Domingo combines for the time being the functions both of President and Congress of that Republic; and whether His Majesty's Government will 878 make representations to the United States Government to allow the Republic of Santo Domingo to again manage its own affairs under the protection of the League of Nations?
§ Sir H. GREENWOODHis Majesty's Government are quite aware that the United States Military Governor is in effective control of the administration of Santo Domingo. His Majesty's Chargé d' Affaires reports that United States intervention was the only means of rescuing the Republic from chaos, and he believes that it is welcome to the better elements of the country. The answer to the last part of the question is that the matter appears to be one which concerns the inhabitants of Santo Domingo rather than His Majesty's Government.
