Washington, June 26, 1954, 6:39 p.m.
392. Infoguide: Developments Guatemala Situation
Fast developing events on Guatemalan problem provide opportunity seize psychological o ensive which urgent in view Commie massive propaganda
campaign this issue world-wide. Posts urged promote fullest exploitation OAS actions re ecting insistence action within OAS Charter and Rio Treaty to settle Western
Hemisphere disputes, in accordance Art 52 of UN Charter which speci cally recognizes authority regional organizations. Show this action as countering recent Russian
tactics designed to weaken both OAS and UN and maintain Commie foothold in Western Hemisphere. Appeal by Guatemala to UNSC members and Molotov’s reply of
June 25 can be used as further evidence role of Arbenz Govt which is pawn in Moscow’s game. OAS letter, released to press today, is signed by ten members of OAS and
expresses recognition of problem of Commie penetration for what it is, and announces intent to call hurried meeting of the OAS to settle once and for all, not only
immediate problem of “threat to peace” but also more basic Commie problem alluded to. This letter should be heavily played as indication member States of OAS are in
exactly same frame of mind as US Senate in its Resolution of June 25 ref to Caracas Declaration Solidarity and Rea rming US support for action by OAS. Interpretation
should be that Soviet has failed in attempt to pin rebellion of Guatemalans on US as act of aggression, and conduct of U.S. Govt in negotiations with Guatemala on
expropriation UNIFRUIT properties may be reviewed in low key to show U.S. actions as proper and limited to aspect of compensation perfectly appropriate for Govt
negotiation under international law, with emphasis on fact that Soviet veto on proposed constructive action by OAS not only revealed mailed st under glove
manipulating Guatemalan a airs, but also rallied peoples of Western Hemisphere to repulse most sinister imperialism and most overt intervention in Western
Hemisphere in recorded history.
