The Commmists dure ing this time did a lot of talking and planning, but thoy admite ted that it was difficult “under the OSORIO regime" to make pol- itical atrides, but that they were making great advefges in the Labor movement. It can be written that the Commnisy Party toe — day has had no success in either establishing itself as a strong political force nor has it been able to use another poligical par ty as its tool. B.

The consensus of opinion among Commnists, stue dents, “he Army, and the Priests is that he, FAUSTO FERMARDEZ, 7 has not renounced Comaunism, but is using another tactic (and the . only one that would peryit hin to remain in tha good graces of the Government) to further the Conmunist cause. On or about 16 Feb= ruary, 1953 thore appeared on the streets a clandestine Communist . leaflet, which is believed by several sources to have been written ‘ by FAUSTO FERNANDEZ.
