Abstract

Communism in the Caribbean ?
Ogle, Ellis | March 18, 1950 issue

add to cart   close window

Guatemala is a pleated lithe country which, if it could be ironed flat, would be about three times as broad as it is. American business men, ignorant of history and accustomed to a simple equation of the words "revolution" and "communism," call the present government of Guatemala "Communist." Guatemala has troubles. Its government is a noisy labor government, proudly tracing its descent from the "Revolution of October 20, 1944," which put an end to the open dictatorship. Moreover, Guatemala will this year have a "free election," and presidential election campaigns are notoriously turbulent periods in Latin American as in other republics.
