From Panima cargoes are shipped via Reuchie and Dulce r v- ers and Lake Izabal to Santo To- mas and Puerto Barrias, there to be transferred to American ships. Pano was the site of another operation carried out by the Edgar Ibarra de- tachment. The guerillas occupied it and then retreated without bearing any losses.The government was compelled to issue na official announcement that "malefacoses" had seized a conside rable quantity of arms and that troops had been sent out after them with orders to bring them back "dead or alive." Tas official announce- ment was significant. Until then tise government had dermed the existence of a guerilla movement in Guate- mala, now its existence was recogniz ed as a fact.Much as they worked to die one- son could not be dull.

It is not a matter of replacing one set of rulers by another, for then two people would be to be masticated, as has repeatedly been the case in the history of Venezuela. It is a matter of the fundamental renovation of the republic"The guerilla program, it must be said, falls on fertile soil.When I left the poor mountain. I heard in farewell those words from our na- tional anthem: "Win or die." The words are now the battle cry of the Armed Rebel Forces Back in the city I plunged once again into the activities of the underground resistance movement, but this stayed with me the memory of the men of the Via Icara'a d him, the soldiers of the one front of a struggle against the oppressors of my people.GuatemalaDecember 1964## The Soviet Union's Diplomatic RelationsR.
