Source reports that a signed letter, dated 3 September 1944, was sent to John Moors CABBOT, the WSBURNT desk officer, by the group opposing the POVCE Government. 2. Important points covered by the letter are: a. FBPRIME preached democracy, but recognized and armed Latin American dictators are enabling these to oppress demo- cratic people; b. ODACID should investigate the PBPRIME Ambassadors in Central America and should replace those unworthy of that posi- tion ; ce ODACID also should intervene divlomatically in order to make the Latin American governments respect the constitutions of théir respective countries ; . d. To prevent fraud, ODACID should propose an effective electoral system; e. Present continuance of killings and persecutions in KMFLUSH and WSHOOFS ; f. ODACID should, if necessary, refuse to recognize uwn- constitutional and despotic Governments on the basis of the Washington pacts; g- It should show by deeds, not only by words, that the good neighbor policy means something. 3. The following statement was stressed: It is evident truth that no regime gains or retains power in Latin America without the moral support of PBPRIME; therefore, your responsibility is evident and cannot be denied nor evaded. ge ’ f 2 io a < ra Q- Za
