Prior to the visit of Mr. WALLACE to Peru, a representative of this office was in conference with Mr. IRA BROUGHT, of the U. S&S. Secret Service, and Sefior MIER Y TERAN, Chief of the Division of Investigations, and it was explained tojMIER ¥CTERAN in detail the protective measures requested during the visit of the Vice-President. He advised that arrangements had been made and that his men had received explicit instructions to cooperate with this office and with the Secret Service in any manner they are asked. Mr. ABRAHAM RUBIO ROLANDO and Mr. JOSE AYANZ MAYO were placed in charge. It was stated that the services of a troop of the Guardia de Seguridad would be utilized at the airport to form a protective line leading from the Limatambo station to the Vice-President's automobile. On April 3, 1943, this office received information that the Aprista Party in Arequipa, Peru, was planning a mass demonstration on the visit of Vice-President WALLACE to that city. Our representative in Arequipa was advised of this information, and the Secret Service representatives traveling with Nr. WALLACE were also notified in La Paz, Bolivia. This demonstration never took place. A number of small handbills were distributed by the members of the Aprista Party immediately before and during the visit of Mr. WALLACE to Peru. Translations of them are as follows: "Dear Mr. Wallace: In Chile and Bolivia you have seen people with liberty of expression and in which the parties of the left and the right constitute the Democracy. But in Peru, where there are no constitutional rights, you find an oppressed people, camps of concentration, hunger and terror. JUSTICE AND LIBERTY!" "Henry A. Wallace: You are welcome! The Peruvian people, which struggles against Internal Tyranny and against Nazi-Fascism, greets the Vice- President of the United States and asks him to make known to the people of the United States that the War for the Democracy cannot be gained in alliance with the enemies of Democracy. WE ASK LIBERTY:" “The Peruvian Aprista People struggle so that the four Roosevelitian Liberties may be realized some time in our country which is oppressed by an Oligarchical Totalitarianism. The People of Peru struggle so that there may be here Constitutional Liberties, Social Justice, Culture and Bread. FOR THIS We ARE WITH WALLACE! WE WANT RIGHTS{” -6=
