REPRODUCED AT THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES it. DECLASSIFIED Authority Statele teraher By Me NARI 02 24 18 action of the authorities has been. My informant, Colonel Lizano, the Commander of the San José garrison, told me that he considered the arrested to be subjects for deportation, that is, alien agitators.
The raid was the outcome of the organized interferences with performances in San José and the Provinces of an excellent Salvadorean narimba band. Theatre after theatre has been obliged to cancel its contracts with the band on account of the systematic interferences from the galleries. Statements have appeared in the press and in handbills to the effect that these demonstrations were indeed organized and for the purpose of protesting against General Martinez cruel treatment of the poor man in El Salvador during December 1931.
Respectfully yours, OharlesbGerhard CHARLES EBERHARDT copy sent to American Legation, San Salvador.
