An offprint from the "New York Commercial", International Weekly Section, April 20, 1906. Citing the many advantages of Santo Domingo & benefits of trade with the United States, the New York Board of Trade and Transportation firmly embraces the adoption of the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine in which the United States prohibited European powers from collecting by force debts owed by Latin American nations. Initially by Executive Order, later by treaty (1907), the United States assumed responsibility for Dominican customs house collections & disbursement of 55% of receipts to pay outstanding foreign debt obligations, with the balance for governmental purposes. In 1916, of course, the United States occupied the Domincan Republic & remained until 1924. Quite uncommon, OCLC locates 5 copies under two accession numbers.
