On 4 I:ovember 1948 at a close/. meeting :In the Lational Eeadquarters of
the Ecuadoran Communist Par4,;,, the subject of the United States elections
was discussed. At the meet.ng presided aver by 2edro Seed, it was agreed
that the victory of Pre3ide it Ram S. Truman airl the disastrous defeat
of Henry Wallace meant that war vas a cer`.ainty and that the Communist
f Ecuador shoed ste't at once to epare for this eventuality.
Comment. Although tle Ecuadoran Communist leaders have been talk-
ing about the eventyslity of war for several montls, they have as yet made
no discernible play for such an event. Sotrce commented that had Governor
Dewey won the election, the Communist react.t.on would have been the same.)
