PREPARATION FORAGAINST GUATEMALA

EAHJffS TKTSRTAL7jy AIH3 TO CONVERTEW KOREA SETSATIOKatF 1HB GTAL

A oaBamlauo sent yesterday to tho national and foreign preea by the

Confederation cc TrabaJMoros do Anoriea Latins ^TAL-Conf odorn tf or off Latin *rwica/ states that the imperialist government of the United States has passed fron indirect or veiled attacks on tho sovereignty of Guatemala to threats of violence through turned intervention by Tantee troops stationed in Nicaragua for tho purpose of converting the small and admirable country of Guatemalaow Koroa.

For the apparent purpose ofwith the Ministry of Var and Aviation cf Nicaragua as well as the officers of ths Niearaguan National Guard and iraprovine their efficiency in matters of training, organization aadn agreement waa signed in Managua by the U. S. Ambassador to Nicaragua, Mr. Thomas E. Whalan, and the Foreign Minister of the Soaosa Government, Dr. Oscar Sacasa,orps of U. S. troops composed offficersen will be stationed at tho port of Corintoccording to lnfomation gathered by the CTAL, thefficers should have reached Managua onh of this month andill disembark at the beginning of February. The cited agreement WraVato effect onovember of last year.

Tbe avfciill nation of Tanks* troops intates the CTAL connunlque -confirms the public statements which have persistently been made by high officials of the Dopar**snt of State ln Washington and by Its diploaatlo repreeentatlves with regard to the intervention objeotivea of the United States in the internal affairs of Guatemala.

Ihe Ambassador of the United States in Guatemala, Mr. Feurifoyew days ago to the aagasine "tirteft opinion in the United Statesforce us to take stops to prevent Guateaala^ falling into the clutches of international Communism."

Bobody is ignorant of theopinion" to which Ambassador Feurifoy (sic) refers, especially when true public opinion in the United States is Intimidated, threatened, and persecuted. It Is also undentajidable that, under the pretext of "preventing Quateaala's falling into the clutches of international Goamranis*the Department of State seeks to protect the interests of North American monopolies which impede progressSjali development in that country.

To omphaslto Uie aggroaalon against Quatomala and Justify tha cllaato of violnnoe HbiOh is already in preparationaa in tha oasa of aggression against Koreatha Horth araarican Dapartaaot of State, through tha Ambassador in Quatenala, haa in tana if iad tha too* of tha threat by stating! *Va oannot parait tha eetabliahaantoviat repobllo between Taxaa and tha Pazuuaa Canal, If the sit'iaMoniteaala beccetet wtn, tha poeeibillty of unilataral action by tha United States oannot be overlooked.*

In analysing the foregoing statements end the aobilliation of Yankee troops ln Nicaragua, th* fa. retort at ofTAL points out lo is press coewuxlqu* that theof unilateralr rather areed lntarrantion in Ouatamsla,

, tho procors ofish tint.

Only yeaterday, the Secretariat of the CTAL sent aeseages to allnd democratic orennitations throughout tha world, denouncing the pro to cations

and intarvffilon intentions of Worth Ar^ricrn imperial* sn in Ouatrcrala and the aetabUahircnt of Bufeta troops at the port of Cor Intorava and certain threat tov^rolgnty and national Independence of Ouatamala is veil as a

source of unrest WqA :net*il Vtlnee ro*>pla.
