HW 50955 SECRET CUBA MOVEMENT OF PROPAGANDA MATERTALS I. Introduction The actions proposed herein are designed to impede the movement of Communist propaganda materials from Cuba to and within Latin American countries. They complement the basic actions relating to control of movement of sub- versive trainees to and from Cuba, which actions are gen- erably applicable in the solution of this problem as well. As in the companion measures for control of the movement of subversive trainees, successful execution of the actions proposed below will reduce the flow of propaganda materials but will not eliminate it entirely. Communist Cuba has many legitimate outlets through which propaganda materials flow. As these legitimate— outlets are blocked by the initial steps herein proposed, it will be necessary for the Cuban propagandists and their sympathizers elsewhere to turn from the mass exportation of materials to the production and dissemination of the same materials in a clandestine environment within the several Latin American countries. Of the two threats, the illicit production of propaganda materials in each country will be by far the more difficult to abate. In combatting these threats, one of the most power- ful factors is the influence of our own information and counter-propaganda efforts, which USIA and CIA have in- creased greatly during the past two years. This paper, however, is concerned wholly with direct actions; actions designed to impede the movement of propaganda materials to and within Latin America. Il. Nature and. Scope of the Problem While the Castro image has faded somewhat in Latin America, and the attraction of Cuba as a model has dimin- ished, the susceptibility of the Latin American people to eommunist propaganda remains high. The basic social and economic factors which have made this true in the past have not greatly altered, and the variety and quantity of propaganda materials with which the Latin Americans are now beset are gfnpressive, as exemplified in the ene—han—VA Guede Mhilliong@¢llars which the communists are estimated to be investing “in the-project annually. it is a large pro- gram and it presents a continuing threat to the tran- quility of Latin America.
