of International Meeting

for PBSUCCESS

I do not concur in the suggestlona nor in the advantages indicated in tho attached memorandum. This meeting is sufficiently removed from tho scene of action that any results so obtained would makeipple on the surface. Furthermore, it will be noted that the Ceuago representatives would only be observers and thus be denied the opportunity to be heard during the nesting. Ino not concur in the use of project funds for this purpose.

Unquestionably tho delegates from Guatemala will bo carefully selected by the Communists. ould profer the psychological reaction which would result from having such persons exposed as communists at this meeting, thus evidencing the degree of Communist penetration ln Guatemala. This could be done by requesting Guatemala station to provide the Information asked for in the attached cable. Upon receipt of this information, the proper JTJ3ARX office participating in this conference should bo requested to arrange the expose of these delegates as Communists at an appropriate time, high-lighting the government control ovor student activities which exists in all Coraraunlst countries.
