REFORMAHDO LA REFJRKA AGSARlA
I have no intention of trying to write thle piece or any of the similar onesouldhisatter for prior agreement among the groups members of the exile groups, and should be written by someone competent in tb- field concerned. (No outright "propaganda" will get bye in this type thing; that is, some semblance of technical knowledge and knowledge peculiar to thecountry must pervade thelbeit simplicity is urged ln theince opposition economists and legal authorities are competent to punch holes in anything amateurish.) This ls simply toeneral formet-plan for the articles and suggest titles for the series:-
SIMPLICITY Is urged; the magnificent "metaphysical" approach of the average Latin writer should be avoided If the sheet ls aimed at the publici it needs reiteration that educational standards art very low here even among the so-called "educated" clat<se&.
BRIEFoth for the limited sj*ee In this paper, and to avoid the alirctt Inevitable boredom to the public ir. quasi-legal and quasi-ecortotde"program" printed in previous exile papers- has suffered from this excecf of wordage (see tba coepent tl>ereon of KARROQl'IN-Rojas)
ARTICLES MAXIMUM PERhe firs* to point out thedeficiencies of the government/Cocu'iunlet program; the second tof ic correctiony the -xil- groups..the need for sore
generalisation is recognised, but itpossible to make more specific statements than have heretofore appeared.

a donde vakos cakaradas?
It is suggested thet such en article should appear early; that tbe theme be reiterated from time to tioe:-
Any desire "not tc frighten the people" Is one thing, but planting fear and confusion and conflict of interests in the PGT/govt circles ia another. The general theme should be that after Caracas the Communist is going to be persona nop er*ta In other latinhus the right of political exile extended to ordinary politicals may not be open to them; who will accept potential internal traitors, where will they go, etc.
If such articles can serve to "force the hand" of the POT members and their supporters, considerable advantage can accrue to our plans from any auch overt icves, etc.
It must be recognized the peculiar and very important role that this concept of political asylum plays it. Latin Americanhe nearly impossible nature of having such asylum denied any individual, etc. Yet, if carefully done, these articles mav serve to prepare an atmosphere of refusal toward local Reds on the part of the Latin embassies and consulates innot ae an "official" attitude of the governments concerned, at least as an "unofficial" act of the individual diplomatic officer, etc. Even if this cannot be actually obtained, the thought that it might be applldd against local politieos designated "Cofenmist" by the new repine can cause considerablein the ranVs of the regime now incumbent.
PRESIOK CONTRA EfcPLEADOS
Ve, on the Station, heve long reported the alleged pressure on govt workers to buy Goreuiniet plblicatlons, tc "contribute" to Red-front groups, etc.
Thisatter that is greatly resented, albeit ln comparative silence, by many of these workers. Itource of excellent propaganda designed to promote unrest and discontent against theondemnation of such "forced sales levied on the small government salary" can win support for the new regime.
Any similar articles, dealing with such practices in the unions, schools, etc can be used to the samehe prompt discarding of such material,reading lt, can also become one of the subject ofere).
FILLER MATERIAL.
need for "filler" for odd columns is, of course, obvious. But it is nor oecessery thst such stuff be of the generally ineffective nature of that used in the pest by the exile publications.
There are available considerable quantities of Joxes, certoons, and "squibs" of an anti-Red nature that cen be culled from other publications for this matter. Brief humorous items are to be highlyhese exile paperc have been deadly ^ull in the pest and small tits of "relief" would be of great help; this stuff sticks more in the simpler mind, too.
Such short items need not be apropos the local situation; the so-called "general" anti-Red material is very good for this pirpose. Norestrict their use solely to the "filler"ooe relief from the drier political matter is advantageous in itself.
Materialtandard KKFORGET material often contains jokes and anecdotes from other publication (it would te perfectly possible to twist some of these, with no r',al pretense of facttongue in cheek" attitude, to embody the naves of local Reds instead of whatever name appears in the oripinsl,any of the LITCfiY cartoons, culled from US papers, are readily adaptable and in most cases can do wellimple straighthe humor is almost universal; other publications carry non-humorous "thought" pieces against the Sovietor eooi recent example, see REAiSR's DIGEST,,
