The need of the urban guerrilla to move about constantly and the relative proximity ef the police. given the circumstances of the ‘strat- egic police net which surrounds the city, forces him te adopt variable security methods depending on the encmy’s moveinents. For this reason it is necessary to maintain a service of daily news about what the enemy appcars to be-doing. where his police net is operating and what gorges and points of strangulation are being watched. The daily reading of police news im the newspapers is a great fountain of information in these cascs. The most important lesson for guerrilla security is never, under any circumstances, to permit the slightest sign of Jaxity in the main- tenance of security measures and requlations within the organization.

Because of his inexperience, the urban querrilla can also overestimate the forces of the enemy. believing them to be stronger than they really are. Allowing himself to be fooled by this presumption. thé urban guerrilla becomes intimidated. and remains insecure and indecisive. paralyzed and lacking in audacity. The second sin of the urban guerrilla is to boast about the acticns he has compicted and broadcast them to the four winds. The third sin of the urban guerrilia 1s varnit¥. The urban guerrilla who suffers from this sin tries to solve the problems of the revolution by actions erupting in the city, but without bothering about the begin- nings and the survival of the querrilla in rural areas.
