organization of proved Communist direction. Although by far the great majority of
its
members are not Communists, it is to be expected that in the event of hostilities between
the US and Panama on the one hand, and the USSR on the other, such Communist lead-
ership as this union possesses will do everything in its power to promote the interests
of the USSR by fomenting labor disturbances with a view to impairing the operation of
the Panama Canal.
In contrast with saboteurs identified with labor and political organizations in
Panama, it is estimated that those saboteurs who will seek to impair the utility of the
Canal by means of activities directed against its various installations and those of
adjacent US army, navy, and air establishments, will not be persons now identified by
US intelligence authorities with existing Communist Party or labor organizations in
Panama or the Caribbean area. It is further estimated that such instructions as these
saboteurs may receive will not be transmitted to them by any Communists now known
to US intelligence authorities. These saboteurs will, on the contrary, receive their
instructions from abroad by radio, mail, or other established means of communication,
or from Soviet or satellite couriers or seamen who will have passed through the Republic
of Panama immediately prior to the outbreak of hostilities. They will be agents who, in
the past, have in no way compromised their usefulness as saboteurs by identifying
themselves with recognized Communist activities or Party members.
