It Is, of course, realized that KHEGGCUP and hla group are operating under very difficult clrcuatsUncos at the present time, although ncno of the group is know to have been arrested by the Oovernaent. Numerous arrests have been aade of the anti-^oanualst students.
at tho present tise is widespread throughout the country. The Anny, however. Insofar as wc know has not shotc definite signs of revolting. There have been intlaationB publicly and even by the President ln his speech on the night ofune that anti-Comrauniat elements have been ln contact with and endeavoring to influence with money Army officers to revolt.
While RHEOOCUPelief that the situation Is ripeoveaent, we must not overlook the fact that anti-Cannonisn isasic factor ln the social and political life of the country. It Is not belioved that theofficials can further their present pro-Comaunlat lino without having the issues created thoreby coupled with the economic situation bring about an eventual downfall of the Government.

In regard to our last note, situation has changed considerably. Things nayh&ppen any moment. ave changed my roqueafi aade in the other note,onsiderable astount of elements wanted are avilable now. What we need now la raising one hundred grand and we have only one half. Your help would be to tell what would be the best offer we can get from you to fill the rest. We would need that quickly, before monday if possible.
There is also another thing. We would need help frca outside in the wright Bcoent. Could you have sobs flying boats cone with core elements that may be landed herelace we wouldhat your job would be to have thia boata ready with the beat elements you could obtain, to be used within six hours at the most.
About paragraph No.hat is most important. The other part would be of secondary importance, because we can go ahead anyway the way we are now, but we need the dough.

At present we have no idea of how the typo of boats you mentioned could be gotten or how they are to be used. We are very doubtful that anything could be worked out along that line unless we can get sufficiently in advance details as to how, when and where they are to be used, how many men and the quantity and kind of arms they should have, and specifically what they are to do. unless we get such detailed information we feel certain we cannot help in that line.
In the matter of money thereossibility, but it willew days for us to get it. We realize that you need it quickly, but we just do not have enough information to convince our people that your efforts will be successfularge sum ia given to you. You, of course, recognize that you aro speaking in relatively large sums. We realize that large sums may be necessary; at the same time you have given us no Information as to how the funds will be used, and our people are hard headed businessmen who don't Just turn their money loose without some kind of assurances that the money will be well spent.
We realize that you are natumlly very cautious about whom you give the information to and want to be sure that in giving any information you will not be embarrassed and that no one will use it to interfere with your efforts. It isatter of confidence. Our people, before they will release any large sum of money, will have to be convinced that it will be well spent, and we cannot convince them without more information. We might be able toubstantial sum that willong way toward filling your needs, but you will have to havein us and give us considerable information concerning how such funds and those you already have will be used. We feel quite sure that we will not be able toubstantial sum for you without the information.
Please giveetailed plan of accomplishing your purpose.
Why do you thinklan will work?
Isoup d'etateneral revolt in various parts of the countryiew toward eventually forcing out the preaent officials?
Do you have any pledges froo military officers?
5- are you confident that they will perform their agreed upon actions?
Are they in sufficiently high positions and do they carry sufficient weight with the people and with the Army to command respect which will serve to stabilize matterseasonable length of time?
Is it planned tounta in the Government consisting exclusively of military officers, or will it have both military and civilians?
You mention that youonsiderable amount of "elements" or at least that such are available to you. Do you mean arms and ammunition, or do you mean people who are willing to fight, or both? Where are such resources? Are they ready to move?
Do you have assistance in men and materials in neighboring countries? If so, where, how many and how much?
10. Do you intend to use the funds to pay any military officers in order that they will have adequate funds in any eventuality, that is, either success of failure? If so, what assurances do you or will you have that they will comply with their premises?
Pleue believe us when we tell you that you will not be embarrassed in any way by giving us full and complete information along the linea indicated. You have been dealing with us for some -time now, and you have not been embarrassed, and regardless of what happens we assure you that no embarrassment will result from your having given us complete, detailed information.
There are two reasons why we have not been able to act as promptly and as fully as we would like toi We have not had enough information concerning your plans and the possibility that they could be and would be fully executed. If you could keep us informed on such matters we could keep ourselvesetter position to act promptly to meet your needs. The second reason is that we feel, and we are sore you agree, the most Important fact is keeping our communications channels secure. This sometimes makes our carenunicaticos somewhat slow. We ore taking every possible step to minimize delays.
*T Rec'd2
Tho way things aro now is as follows
o the opportunity to obtainnas and ammunition in goodenough toen with sufficient strength to start with good resultsrevolt. Thia would be done in the city,ery daring coupimportant points, military and government pointsetailed manner.ilr^aiv prepared. This would btertain fart hl diy. At.time, onceofficials, there would be no govern-
ment left to obey and at that tXac we know that we can secure some army officers that could give us help. That is where one part of the money can como in, for we would attack the forts but would be able to offer the alternative ofertain amount of money to the man in charge. The way we plan the attack givesery good chance of success. The arms are good enough to fight these military men. Ita lotachineguns of three different calibers,utomatic rifles and ammunitionartridges per man. There areand grenades. What we need and are lacking now is tear gas bombs. This is very important and maybe you could secure
The guns and ammunition we mention are already "within the city limits'1 and we can got them inours provided we have the money. The person dealing with us in this matter is the utmost confidence and is givingroperty in guarantee for the same amount of fifty grand. Itroperty worth more than that. It belongs to him. Besides, in order to be sure that we got the arms and ammunition in good condition and in the form we have planned, wo would keep the men that como to get the dough, un< control forours, until we have duly received the merchandise to our satisfaction
As far as theentioned in the lax. note, that means that we would have an airport in hourpiece can be told you in the wrightwo would need, flamethrowers, automatic arms, machine guns and best arms you could get. This would be to support our movement after fighting has started. The alrforce has at present only four planes that can operate but that is almost no danger as they are old and dent have enough to resist. We do not need men as we have enough people here There people are pot officers in active duty. Thoy arc people that knows well about arms aa they have been in the armed forces before. We hava prepareden which are ready to actery short notice. Of course these men do not know anything else but that they are about to enter in action. Moat of these men will have to be paid for their expenses once you put thorn active. That is where we need parts of the money.
BesideB this movemont, we have alreadyroup of professional gunmen that easily can eliminate some of the best commies and control the unions which are well armed. These men can work0 per head and we will pay them after theis done. Hot in advance. The only condition would be to get them the dough in cash, american money. Once we put the plan in operation, this part would be made timed and adjusteday that both things would go together.
Your questions aro answered likedatelincs are given above. bedauao of the daring way this is to be done and because of the effective points we would destroj we could have all the government disorganised in about six hours of fighting. it can be consideredoup da tat but we can also produce some revolts in the interi' if we find it necessary to attract the government attention. we do not have pledges made In advance but possible to make them at the Last minute in
the way explained above. You cannot trust any of the guyB in active serviceanswered in point four. eame as No.best way to act would be tounta including civilians and military!is has not been discussed definitely yet. the elements mentioned previously are the arms andWe do not,nowroup that has been, working about that and we could get their support if we could interest them in the pricese moment. he funds would be used as0 to obtain the elements. 0 for the elimination of the big shots (commies). The rest would be to have on hand for othor expenses connected with this* as salaries, foodstuffs and other emergencies, includin, the possibility of giving parts of the money to sn amy officer in themoment. There is oneould like to say. In these cases you can never be sure of the success, that is one hundred per cent,hould say that if we operatehort period of time we canhance maybe as good as fifty fifty. We intend to operate, if possible,ortnight.
