1. President Oscar R. Benavides deported Luciano Castillo, Secretary General of
the Partido Socialists del Peru, in 1936, and attempted to create a new
Socialist party. The President tried to group the most diversified and
haterogenous political elements under the direction of Carlos Gonzalez Loll,
a lawyer. Gonzalez Loll was a dissident of the Partido Socialists del Peru
who had had deep personal differences with Luciano Castillo. Despite
Benavideso support, Gonzales Loli was unsuccessful in displacing Castillo's
Party and absorbing its forces.
2. Some years later, on May 1, 1941, Carlos Gonzalez Loll formally founded the
Partido Socialista Peruano with the group he had managed to gather around
him. In November 1944, Gonzalez Loll, started the publication of the organ
of his Party, Accion Socialists of which only eight editions appeared
Having been unsucces~in ' is ending the Castillo
Party, Gonzalez Loll,
stated in one of these eight editions that he had requested an alliance be-
tween his group and the Partido Socialista del Peru. He explained that
Luciano Castillo did not accept his proposition but instead had suggested
that the-Partido Socialista Peruano be dissolved and its members join the
Partido Socialists del Peru. Gonzalez Loll is said to have rejected
- Castilloos proposal.
3a The discord between the two Socialist parties was not made evident until
Luciano Castillo returned to Peru, from Mexico, in January 1945. He found
out that Gonzalez Loll had registered his group in the Electoral Register
under the name Partido Socialists Peruano. In order to counteract this,
Castillo registered his Party under the name Partido Socialists del Peru.
4. Long before the holding of general elections on 10 June 1945, the Partido
Socialists Peruano was an advocate of the Fronts Democratico National (FDN),
but was not officially accepted until 15 May 1945. The Partido Socialists
Peruano, in contrast to the independence of the Partido Socialists del Peru,

and the congressional slate of the Ff11.
5. Dr. Carlos Gonzalez Loll was elected member of the Chamber of Deputies from
the Province of Huazsz, Department of Aneash. His election was not due to
any Socialist influence or as a result of the numerical strength of his
? Party, which is negligible, but rather to his popularity in the province
and to his alliance with the FDN. Marcy cf the votes he obtained were cast
by members of the Aprista Party.

We is of sell. consequence. Its forea is ooncentrate4 only in one in-
dividual= Dr. Carlos Gonzales Loli. The Party has no programs platform
or statutes, and the name Socialist which it uses is nothing but a more
title. Gonzales Loli has never been Fble to exert any influence on the
workers of the oil regions, the princLpel Socialist stronghold, dominated
by Luciano Castillo. The Party has Stever held any public functions which

legedly the only matter that keeps Win away from the Communists.
9. In December 1946, the Partido Social:ata Peruano became known as the Partido
Socialista Popular, which name it still retains. The close ties between
Gonzalez Loll ' and the Communist, Party of Peru (PCP) have been made amply
evident meanwhile, and Gonzalez Loli is listed as a regular contributor to
the funds of the PCP, contributing 1Ot- soles a month to the Communist organi-
zation in Huaraz and 50 soles a month to Party headquarters in Lima.

Party militants on 6 October 1916 at Comrunist Par-.y Headquarters, Lima,
