Mr, 24 February, 1954 Mr, Mr. ' paper, “Counter-Attack Against Further Guatemalan Revelations of . Plana Against Guatenala® 1. he SUBJECT is an excellent paper and certainly, in para 2, gives us sufficiest material from which to take propaganda actions, however, this officer has the following suggestions for best utili- sation of SUBJECT materials: Le A, That material in SUBJECT para B de released by Nicaragua as suggested in SUBJECT para 3.:.0:°4a the form of a protest. This protest would be a type of Nicaraguan "White Paper® and should be sent to acs many Latin American Kewspapers, Foreign Ministers and delegates to the Caracas Conference as possible. This should be done to prevent the neceasity © of. of taking action indicated in SUBJECT para 3. B. If A were oftectivcly accomplished, it would give all KUGOWN mechaniems, throughout the area, a peg to hand better and more specific propaganda om - give more impetus to better KUGOW action re the Caracas Conference Sarongsont the Hemisphere and generally take the onus off the USA, G. The attitude of the ‘us at the Conference should be one sympathy and understanding of all Latin American complaints and at the sametime proposing progressive, positive programs for unity, economic development, social progress and defense. When the Guat charges are brought up, the position of the US should be ridicule and completely categorical denial in a yery brief and concise manner. It should appear that the US delegation thinks the charges simply teo fantastic te bother with. D. If possible, before the Guate have an opportunity to present their chrages, but after the US has established its under- standing, progressive attitude ‘with the delegates of other Americas countries, one of the Latin American delegates - preferably not one of the"known” US “compadres® such ae Nicaragua or Dominican Republic - should release a brochure containing facta re Guatemalan Communism. The same delegation should instruct all ite party to spread the "word" re Guat Communiam to as many Latin. American delegates as possible. Such action would prepare Delagates for Guat activity, pre-discrdit Guat charges and again, remove the US from the spot-light. Such a brochure and talk should certainly play up SUBJECT para 2c. ia
