Abstract
The International Review mentioned last month that, thanks to the joint initiative of Mr. Pierre Jequier, delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and the Dominican Red Cross, a truce was concluded in Santo Domingo, and was able to be prolonged, thus putting an end to the fighting which had caused so much loss in human lives and material. These efforts on the part of the Red Cross were supported by the United Nations and the Organization of American States.
