ARTMAN omer D. aknan ee aaa entitled to use for of or not otherwise credited in this paper, and also the local Associated Press is COMMUNISM IN LATIN AMERICA The American public has paid very little attention to the progress that Russia is making in spreading Com- ’ munism in the Western Hemisphere. Recently, our eyes “have been focused on the trouble spots of Korea and In- ‘do-Ching in Asia and the Communistie threat in Europe. Washington officials are very much concerned over the fact that the Communists control the government of Guatemala. President J become the tool of the , is allowing his coun- try to be used as a base of operations for Russian agents in their effort to spread Stalin's propaganda in the Latin American tries, The hs ue infiltrating into Panama and stirring “up unrest in ar. effort to end United States control of the vital Panama Canal. What Communists want is a reaction ‘among the people of Panama similar to the disorders among Egyptians in their efforts to oust the British from the Suez I Zone. - * + be influence in other cousttries $n the West- ern Hemisphere is of course not nearly as great as in Guatemala, Batista, the Cuban dictator who is an avowed enemy of Communism, has refused to outlaw the Commun- ist Party. In Brazil the Reds put on an impressive demon- station in celebrating its thirtieth anniversary. Many observers feel that Communist pressure in Mexico is responsible for the recent failure of the United States to conclude a mutual defense agreement with that country. Politicians in Chile secretly seek the support of the Communists in elections even though the Communist Party is illegal. The Communists are not too influential in Argentina, Columbia, Bolivia, and Venezuela, As they did in Asia, the Reds are capitalizing on extreme nationalism, low liv- ing standards, a high rate of illiteracy, and political in- stability to spread their doctrine. It is unfortunate in this world of power politics that the United States is weakened by sore spots deep behind the front lines. We can not afford to disregard the Soviet danger in Latin America, Successful democracy depends upon the cv ively expressed judgment of free-thinking individuals, If you know what a man does, you do not need to know what he says, to judge whether or not he practices his religion, YEDORE AROUND HERE I; = i! iif i if nlf f g B E - § : 3 if f i ie K | H | H a Fz & g i eports For Duty Earle W.
