1. The Political Commission of the Communist Party of Chile (POOh) has become
concerned over an increasingly questioning spirit noted among the Party
militants. A tendency has boon observed among the members, especially those
in the provinces, to raise questions constantly about relations between the
Chilean Party and the 1JSSR. These members are worried about being accused
of being anti-patriotic because of their membership in a party which has such
close international ties. The Political Coniission reports the cases of oom-
rados who have asked their lmoal leaders not to talk so much about the USSR,
2.' There has boon a recent attempt by the PCCh to exchange information with
European and other Ca aniot Parties to loam whether they have experienced
the sam difficulty,
3. The Political Commission has appointed a co>itteo within the Corr.isssion to
study a plan to counteract the anti-U"SR propaganda which is appearing in
Chilean newspapers, magazines and moving pictures. It is not felt that the
ICCh members are sufficiently prepared to counteract this propaganda, and it
is feared that this deficiency could be seriously harTlful in the future. It is
noted. that' many young; Coteunists have con'sed working since the anti- Comunist
campaign began and take no part in cell activity or in any Party mass movements?
