REPRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES DECLASSIFIED Authority State Letter inhz ay me NARI Date 24981 All the inhabitants of the Republic have to comply with the law. said the Communists may meet inside of their localities, and there they can hold their speeches; said that the Communists can have their papers and publications if they desire. But said that they could not hold their manifestations in public, and nobody for that matter may do so without a prior permit of the authorities, and all this shall have to respect and see that it is respected. The laws are there to be complied with and there are no privileged classes.
The best protection here against subversive dootrines consists in the facts that the land is unusually equitably distributed and that unemployment, while existing, is not serious. Such unemployment as has manifested itself can readily be absorbed by the community and the needy cared for. am convinced that precautions should not be relaxed, and agree with the expressed determination of local officials that deportation of undesirables should proceed at once. That Soviet agents are directing activities here either directly or indirectly, am also convinced. The rumor has also circulated that one of the leading organizers of the Salvadorean disorders has recently come here. Local capitalists are receiving frequent warnings in the form of anonymous letters. There is danger, but believe the present administration can be relied upon to handle the situation.
Respectfully yours, Charles breshardi.
