(Ouatomal* Moooow'a Regional Headquarters for taa Americas)
Th* conominiats, at whose ardors Arbens transforms our country faster and fasterre obviously ashamed of their own aamei they bare changed the name of their parly froa Communist Party into "fartldo Quate-aalteoo dal Trnbsjo." Thoy try erery poealble deceipt to convinae you that they are only concerned with the welfare of our people, with tha agrarianwith higher wagee for the workers, with better education for our youth and ao forth. In other worda, they pretend that theyonest, democratic, patriotic Guatemalan party aad by noforeign or internationally con-tJollad"in this case, they would have to be forbidden under Articlef our constitution snd this is obviously tha last thing, Senor Irbens, Moscow's faithful servant, wants to do.
The truth, however, la entirely different. The truth is that tbe KIT, the Communist Party of Guatemala, Is just another of tbeational branches of the world-vide ceamuniat conspiracy which takes its orders froa Moscow,its funds froa Moscow, sends its Isadora to Moscow (or other places behind the Iron Curtain) where they are being trained in tho fine arts of sub-version, civil war, secret police methods, kidnapping,the tricks of tha trade which we have seen thorn practice in our country andfor qui to some years now.
Fortuny, Gutlsrras, Alverado snd the other booses of tha Cotsnmist fortya have repeatedly in the loet two years either travelled to ftuesla orlsewhere (under the disguise ofyouth,"union" or other meetings) and have even received the plenipotentiaries of their Moscow paymasters and superiors in their vary homes snd offices right here, is our oountry.
0atil bwo yeers ego, Moscow's regional headquarters for all the Americas hod been in Cuba. Sow, however, since the Cuban authorities bare made it too difficult for foreign communists to oorne and to go and to ply their nefarious trade on that island, this headquarters haa been transferred to Guatemala. Our embassies and legations abroad finance political oonapiraclea, foment strikes and carry out all the other subversive orders which Arbens lo given by Moscow. Our oountry harbors leftint exile groups from all over Central America who, with the annoy and the arms furnished them by the Arbens regime, plot here for the benefit of Moscow's subversive schemes. Cur country is also th* home base of the Caribbean Legion, Illegal shook troop to perpetuote un-reat in neighboringagain serves the oommunist purposes well.
Conclusive evidence of the prominent role for which our country baa bean singled out by Moscow is the recent foundation of th* SOCIKDADTK-MAla in Panama, to be followed by the establishment of similar societiesin Central and 'outh America. This society was set up last February under th* auspices of ths Communist Party ofartldo dolnd of the comnunitFedoreclon Sindical del'TrsbaJ adores da lo Republica da imaaaa with th* active help of tho Quateaalan Ambassador in Panama, Razd.ro

Still another clear sign of ths pwDrtneut role whlcfi our oountry plays In HaeoowU plana for world-wide eiibveralon and ooocueat la the great eraount of attention which hadlo Noaoow haa been recently paying to all Ouateaalan affairs.
