Thewoefulweightofinjustice,brutalityandsuppressionthat formedpartoftheformerCommunist-dominatedGuatemalanregimeshouldhavecausedittocrumblelongbeforeitwastoppled byasmallrevolutionarybandinJuneoflastyear.Theregime ofJacoboArbenzcouldcarrythisweightandstillsurviveonly becauseithadmanoeuvreditselfontotwogreatpillars:thelabour unionsandagriculturalreform.

Whentherevolutionary governmentsweptinto powertherewasconcern thatthesepillarstoowould bedestroyed.Thedestructiveblowswereexpected tocomefromextreme rightistelementswhichhad associatedthemselveswith therevolution.

Today,sixmonthsafter therevolution,thesetwo pillarsstillstand.Thereis reasonablehopethatthey willformpartofGuatemala'sfuturesocialand economicstructure.But theywillprobablybesomewhatreducedinsizeand importance.

TheArbenzregimehad usedboththeunionsand agriculturalreformaspoliticalweapons.Asaresult bothhadbeengivenbad names.

UnderArbenztheunions wereCommunist-dominated.TheRedssetunion policiesandtoldtheoften illiteratememberswhat theyshoulddo.ThelongrangeaimoftheRedunion leaderswastoestablisha "dictatorshipoftheproletariat"likethosebehindthe IronCurtain.

Theagriculturalreform law,whilebasicallyjust, wasusedbytheregimeto clubthosewhoopposedit. Thegovernmentsoharassed oppositionlandownersthat theywereforcedtosell theirholdingsevenifthese didnotcomeundertheprovisionsofthelaw.Illiterate peasants-70percent,of thepopulationisilliteratewereoftengoadedbyReds intoseizinglandillegally andtheseizureswereupheldbythegovernment.

Itisagainstthisbackgroundthatmanyfeared forthefutureofbothlabour onionsandagriculturalreformwhentherevolutionarygovernmentcameto prwer.

PresidentCastilloArmas immediatelystruckareassuringnotebystating thatthesocialgainsofthe pastdecadewouldbekept andonlytheabuseswould besweptaway. Hedeclaredthathisgovernmentwouldguarantee thefreeformationofunions, butfor"thesolepurposeof furtheringtheinterestsof theworkingclasswithinthe frameworkofGautemalan conditions."Hestatedthat unionscouldnolongertake anactivepartinpoliticsor openthemselvesto"Communistinfiltrationorthe developmentofalienideas.'

AfirststepoftheCastillo Armasgovernmentwasto outlawafewcompletely Communistunionsandsuopressthe.Redexecutive boardsofotherunions.The unionsweretoldtoreorganisethemselvesand electnon-Communistdirectorates.Theprincipalassociationbannedwasthe GuatemalanTeachers' Union(STEG),towhich theRedshadassignedthe jobofspreadingCommun1.0ideologythroughthe

Vgre.arenowthreegoverument-recognisedlabour inoerementsactiveinGuatemala:TheCatholic-oriented AutonomousTradeUnion Federation(FAS),theRailwayWorkers'Union (SAW)-whichincludes alsoairlineworkers,and theNationalCommitteefor TradeUnionReorganisation (CNRS).

Themostpromising

movementistheFAS,I headedbyJoseGarcia Bauer,astaunchlyCatholic leaderwhohasreceived supportfromArchbishop MarianoRossellofGuatemala.ThebusyArchbishop wentpersonallytoblessthe FASheadquarterswhenit wasopenedlastSeptember.

FASrepresentsanauspiciousavenueforChristiansocialprinciplesto reachtheworkingclasses.

Atremendousjobremains tobedoneinthisfield.The 1945constitutionspecifically barredpriestsfromany activityinthelabourfield, withtheresultthatthe Church'ssocialprinciples didnothaveachanceto filterdowntothelabouring classes.

Becauseofthenewgovernment'sgreaterbenevolencetoreligion,topecclesiasticalleadersseeagolden opportunityfortheChurch toinfluencethefutureof thelabourmovementat thistime.However,they feellikeahunterwhosuddenlycomesuponaflockof ducksbuthasnogun.The Churchisfacedwithan extremeshortageoftrained Catholiclabourleaderswho couldhelpplacetherevivinglabourunionsona soundlyChristianbasis.

Thefutureofthetrade unionswilldependtoa largeextentonthedecisions oftheconstituentassembly nowwritinganewconstitution.Mr.GarciaBauer, whotogetherwithhisFAS aide,LuisBalcarel,isa memberoftheassembly,is determinedtohavethe basicprovisionsofthe1947 labourlawreflectedinthe newconstitution.Itremainstobeseenwhether hiseffortswillbesuccessful.

Theoriginallandreform lawexpropriatedidleland whichhadnotbeenused foreithercropsorpasturing forthreeormoreyears. Thelawwascriticisedon twocounts:(1)Itexpropriatedlandalreadyunder ownershipwhentremendousunusedtractsunder publicdomaincouldhave beendistributed.(2)The lawleftownershipofthe expropriatedlandwiththe governmentandonlyleased ittothepeasants.

Theseobjectionshavi beencounteredbythese twoconsiderations:(1)The privatelyownedlandswe;e ofbetterqualityinabetter locationthanthoseunder publicdomain.(2)Ifoutrightownershiphadbeen giventothepeasants,the landwouldquicklyhave beenlostbythelessprovidentonesandprobably wouldhavereturnedtothe wealthylandowners.

However,itwasnotthe basiclawbuttheabusesin itsadministrationwhich gaveitabadname.

TheCastilloArmasgooernmenthasreturnedtothe originalholdersmuchof thelandthathadbeen seizedillegallyunderthe Reds.PresidentCastillo Armasalsopromisedthat thelandreformlawwillbe overhauledandthatfuture landwillbegivenoutright tothepeasantand"not rentedtohimataprofitt3 theState."

Thethinkingofthepresentgovernmentappearsto bethatnoproductivefarm units-largeorsmallshouldbebrokenupatthe presenttime.Parcellingout productivelandnow,itis believed,wouldonlycripple theagriculturaleconomy andlowerproduction.The accentisonproduction ratherthandistribution.Increasedproductionisneededtoprovideexportsfor foreignexchangeandtake theCommunist-looted treasury"outofthered."

Thenewlaw,afterit evolves,willprobablyparceloutthehugetractsin publicdomainbeforeit dividesprivateholdings. Thepeasantswillhavethe opportunitytoacquire ownershipoftheland throughlong-termloansinsteadofmerelyleasingit fromthegovernment.

Thefuturestatusofagriculturalreform,likethatof theunions,willbelargely determinedbythepresent constituentassembly.Itis expectedthatstrongblows willstillbestruckatthese twopillars.Butitalso appearsthatthereisenough level-headedsupportto keepthemstandingaspart ofthecountry'ssocialand economicstructure.

TheYCWhasfitteditself tobeforyoungworkersa school,aservice,andarepresentativebody.Itis througheducationthatthe mainattackhasbeenmade ontheprevalentpaganattitudetofamilylife.

Takingasourinspiration thewonderfulexampleset bytheHolyFamily,and usingthemethodsof nationalenquirycampaigns, conferencesanddiscussions atmeetings,memberslearn notonlytoappreciateand putintoactiontheirfundamentaldutiesandresponsibilitiestothehome,but alsotodevelopthatwarm interestinallothermembersofthefamilywhich servestointegratethe familyasasocialunit.Emphasishasalsonecessarily beenplacedonfamily prayer-theelementwhich raisesthefamilytothe spiritualplane,makingit aChristiansocialunit.

TohelpinthedevelopmentofChristianfamily lifetheYCWhasorganised suchservicesasPre-Cana Conferencesforengaged couples,aHousingAdvisory Committee,and,inother States,co-operativeenterprises.

andThroughourenquiries discussions,manysituationshavecometonotice thatcanonlybetackledby representation,andinall suchcasestherequisite actionhasbeentaken.An alreadywidelypublicised exampleofthisistheaction beingtakenwithregardto indecentliterature.

SomuchtheYCWhas done,andwillcontinueto do.Supplementarytoits ownwork,theYCWhas considereditseemlytoask parentstotakeaninterest inwhatitisattempting,so thattheymayplaytheir ownindispensablepartin theformingofatruly Christianhome.

The partofyour correspondent'sletterrecommendsthattheYoungChristianWorkers'Movementbedisposedof,and fromitsremainsshould arisetheYoungChristian Democrats,anorganisation whichweassumewouldbe thejuniorbodyofthesuggestednewpoliticalparty atpresentbeingdiscussed. Whilenotcommittingourselvesinanywayonthe practicabilityofforming suchabody,wefeelthat ifitwasformeditcould nottaketheplaceofthe YCW.

Theproblemoftheyoung workerfallsintothree maincategories:spiritual, socialandpolitical.While notpreparedtostatewhich presentsthegreatestchallengetoyouth,wefeelthat eachisofgreatimportance, anditisthereforenecessarytoconcentrateequally onallthree.

Ajuniorpoliticalbody would,byitsverynature, belimitedtoactioninthe politicalsphere.Neither couldsuchanorganisationprovidetheeducationor servicesoftheYCW,and itsrepresentationwouldbe limitedtoitsownparticu- larchannel.

Again,theYCW,sinceits inception,hasbeenstrictlynon-politicalanditsconstitutionprovides:"The YCWshallnotparticipate inanywayinpoliticalmattersandshouldnotgiveits supporttoanypolitical party."

NorareexecutivemembersoftheMovementpermittedtoactasofficialsin anypoliticalparty.Weconsiderthatthebestinterests ofourmemberswillbe servedbystrictadherence totheseprinciples.

Inconclusion,maywe statethattheYCWhas achievedsomemeasureof successinthisdiocese,and withthegreatspiritevidentinourpresentmembers,togetherwiththecontinuedinterestandconstructivecriticismofsuch eldermembersofthecommunityas"Family,"the YCWwillgoontoachieve muchgreatersuccess.
