The latest Communist tack employed theré was the Guatemalan Government’s ex- pulsion of two newsmen, whom the Guatemalans ac- cused of untruthful reporting.

There is little doubt but that the United States would like to see the present Govérnment of Guatemala over-| thrown, since it is pro-Communist in its sympathies and) constitutes a threat to the solidarity of this hemis-| phere. Moreover, the Communists are using this coun- try’s benevolence to develop operations in other Central | American countries, and to attempt to bring about other} Communist governments in this area. We have called attention to this before and call attention to it again, only to point out that vigorous méa- sures may be necessary on the part of the United States Government if a very dangerous situation is prevented from developing in this area.
