1o No one in the Partido del Pueblo (PDP, PeopleDs Party-Communist) is believed
to receive a salary from outside of the country. The same seems to be true as
regards the Federacion Sindical de Trabajadores de la Republica de Panama
(FSTRPe Federation of Unions of Panamanian Workers - Communist controlled)
in its relationship to the Confederacion de Trabajadores de America Latina
(CTAL - Confederation of Latin American Workers)., or any other foreign
organization. The CTAL is in a very difficult economic situation at the moment
in Mexico because of the recent political activities in which Vicente LOMBARDO
Toledano., CTAL president, took an active part. As a result of this activity
the CTAL is considered by the Mexican Government as inimical,
20 In substantiation of the above economic estimate of the CTAL., each affiliated
organization in Latin America was assessed a quota of $100,00 to support the
Fourth CTAL Congress, which was held in Santiago, Chile from 22 to 29 March
1953, In addition, each country was expected to pay the transportation of its
owc delegate. The poor economic situation of the CTAL was confirmed by Pedro
SAAR and Justine ALVAREZ Pantoja during their recent travel through Panama.,
