Hern communist organizations in Costa Rica, although nothing available on this point of more recent date than 1932 contains a specifio mention of, or pertains to specific activities in, Costa Rica. There is information of a general nature showing that eommunist activities in the Caribbean area are directed from New York.
Also there is information, contained in a note from olaa the Costa Rican Legation here, dated August 28, 1935, to the effect that propaganda literature is reaching Costa Rica from this country.
desired by the Minister Even were positive information of the nature in available, the desirability of furnishing such information to the Costa Rican Government would, it seems to me, be open to question, in view of the fact that activities of the nature in question might be the subject of a protest to this Government based on the ground that activities designed to bring about the overthrow of the Costa Rican Government were being carried on in the United States.
