Coventry joins —
with Stalingrad

COVENTRY

Leading citizens of Coventry and
Stalingrad — two names that epit-
omized courage and suffering in
the Second World War — will get
together to draft a “ban the H-
bomb” call to the United Nations.

Alderman John Fennell, Lord
Mayor of Coventry, and at least
four members of the city council,
have just been invited to visit
“Stalingrad this fall.

This is the answer of the execu-
tive commttee of the Stalingrad
City Soviet to a letter sent to
Jacob Malik, Soviet ambassador to
Britain, in June, by the committee
for fostering friendly links be-
tween the two cities.

It suggested a joint appeal to
the UN Disarmament Commission
for the proclamation of a ban on
the H-bomb.

The idea was endorsed by the
city council and‘later Stalingrad
replied that it -had been accepted
there “with enthusiasm” after be-
ing discussed by the workers.

Now the Stalingrad Soviet has
sent the invitation to the lord
mayor and councillors so that they
can all “examine the text of a
message to the Disarmament Com-
mission, the draft of which could

and land reform.

be proposed by the Coventry City
Council.” 4

Ten years of progress
wiped out in Guatemala

An analysis of the events leading to the united Fruit coup in Guatemala and a stirring call to
action against the military junta now in control reached Canada this week in the form of a statement
from the persecuted, underground Communists of Guatemala. :

A statement issued by the political committee of the Guatemalan Workers party declared that
“Yankee imperialism, in its desperation, has succeed ed in striking a blow at our country, but it has not

‘been able to defeat us.”

Confidently asserting that ‘the
people of Guatemala would again
compel U.S. imperialism to retreat,
the statement said: |

“The ‘party of the Communists
of Guatemala, the political ex-
pression of the working class of
our country, is sure of the final
triumph of its cause, which is
none other than the cause of the
Guatemalan people and all the
peoples of the earth.”

While acknowledging that ‘“im-
perialism has attained a victory
in the American continent and it
may be able for some time to sub-
ject Guatemala to the exploitation

of Yankee capitalists,’ the state-|.

ment continued:

“This has not been the final
battle; the imperialists are retreat-
ing all over the world, now forced
by. the vigorous advance of the
people in their Struggle for na-
tional independence, democracy,
peace and socialism. In our coun-
try, the people will also defeat

the treachery and the surrender.”

The Communists repudiated the

propaganda about terror and atroc-|

ities attributed to their party and
the-Arbenz regime which was over-
thrown in the military coup.

The statement said that the Ar-
benz government “fell due to the
combined armed agression against
our territory, which was organized,
financed and directed by the Unit-
ed Fruit Company and command-

‘ed by the traitor Carlos Castillo

Armas and the treacherous coup
of a reactionary and capitulating
group of the army, which’ conspir-
ed with the U.S. embassy.”

The Communists declared that
former President Jacobo Arbenz
“remained firm and loyal to the
interests of Guatemala and to
his democratic convictions” and
“made strong efforts to throw
out the mercenary invaders.”
But they pointed to “the vacilla-
‘tion, cowardice and even treach-
ery of some of his collaborators.”

The statement said that when
Arbenz resigned in favor of Col.

Carlos E. Diaz she believed that
“this would prevent the coup plan-
ned by the reactionary group in
the army” and that the new re-
gime while “not expected to be
like his . . .,.would maintafn the
social gains of the people and save
the honor of the army.”

The Communists added:

“Our party would never have
agreed with this solution and
would have fought for Arbenz to
remain in power, because this solu-
tion was false. We knew...
that in the actual conditions of
the revolutionary movement in
Guatemala it was impossible to
take half-way measures, that one
step backwards would signify the
beginnings of a defeat, that the
resignation of Arbenz would open
the way to a dictatorship and sub-
mission to imperialism.”

Defining its own relation to the
Arbenz government, the Workers’
party said:

“Our party backed the govern-
ment of President Arbenz in a
conscious way, because its policy,
Program and accomplishments
corresponded to the aspirations
of the working class, of the peas-
ants and many other strata of
the people in the actual condi-
tions of Guatemala. .. ..

“We were never a government _
party and we never pretended to
be, in the conditions which exist-

ed.”
