Nota del diario del emisario de la Komintern 1933 08 12 youth circulated thru the streets with the bloody body of Colonel Jimenez the arch murderer of the Porra, who has killed dozens of workers and students with his own hands. At about PM Pepito Mariña who killed Julio Mella 1203in Mexico, was killed. So far probably more than 20 of leading Porristas were killed, among them Castro and others of the corps of experts the leading anti communist assassin group of the Government.
But the bourgeois and landlords have immediately taken steps to prevent mass anger from going too far. Troops have been called out. They were at first welcomed by the whole population, but soon this welcome has changed.
They are patrolling all streets and already smashing all groups warning of shooting if this continues.
The petty bourgeoisie is in panic. It welcomed the revolution. But now it has become afraid of the just anger of the masses. It is already calling for machine guns to control the rabble.
This evening demonstrations are expected to all sections of the city under the leadership pf the CP and the General Strike Committee under the slogans Organized struggle of masses led to overthrow of Machado. Now government will continue his policy of hunger and terror. Fight for your demands, fight for all political dem ocratic rights.
The masses have learned that they can do great things thru organized struggle Already a saying is circulating in the streets Never again will strike breakers get along in Cuba. But the disillusionment must come in the policy of the new government. The masses under the leadership of the CP will continue and intensify the struggle towards the anti imperialist anti feudal revolution.
The spirit of the masses is shown in that a large crowd attacked and razed the barbershop La Americana whose owner shot and killed a communist during the August 1st demonstration.
In the last letter got as far as the massacre at the Capital. The adults met the same night to see what happened. We reached certain conclusions one of which was that the Central St rike Committee was to demand the immediate restoration of political liberties. This was done. However in the meantime a division has taken place in opinion of CC and on instruction of the fellow who was recently in states, this demand was withdrawn. This tarted a big fight in Buro; then there was a long meeting. It was the opinion of the majority that strike was to finish at once and we were to tell so to workers.
