Dear Sir: t
Reference is made to Bureau letter dated November
3, l944,Ytransnitting two copies of a translation of a report
sent by .e Basque Organization in Colombia to_Senor DonAnton 92¬:t§ra1a, Basque Delegation, 35th Avenue, How YorkUityil I&#39;wa requested to advise you whether or not these
repcr are made available to us at this office before they
are transmitted to the Bureau and to inform you if the prac=
tice of furnishing us copies of the translations should be
discontinued.
The material being sent to the Basque Delegation
in New York City is turned over to a representative of this
office in an unsealed envelope by the head of the local
Basque group. Before it is forwarded in the pouch, the
materiel is always read by the writer or by the Special Agent
handling_the Basque contacts. However, we have not been mak-
lug copies, and copies are not provided us by the Basques.
The information contained in these reports has usually been
furnished to us in another form by the Basques. However, it
is interesting for us to receive the translations from the
Bureau, and if it is not too much inconvenience, it is re-
quested that the Bureau continue furnishing such translations

monthly amount down to $1,500. Although he remonstrated that
this

that
amount paid them equal approximately the
nation received from them plus the value of _
that we can reasonably expect to receivewfre them in the

this
$500

Re: BASQUE ORGANIZATION IN ARGENTINA
Administrative
[ibis office has been working with subject organization
since June 8, 19kb, in the present capacity and under the arrang
ment of $2,000 monthly. It is felt, Judging by the information
submitted by them in the pest, that they may be worth $1,500
per month only because of the possibility of a break in Argentin
U.S. diplomatic relations and because of the possible future
value oftheir maritime coverage on Spanish ships in detecting
the movement of fugitive Axis officials to South America. Since
a few days after the start of this relationship in June, De
Lasarte has been asked for a list of contacts and sources of
information, potential and otherwise, and was later asked for
an explanation as to how the money paid him was being used.
Neither request was fulfilled and it was understood he was re-
luctant to expose details of his organization and its function-
ing because of fear the information might get into wrong hands,
stating that such had happened once to their organization in
France with disastrous results. However, when the reduction
of payment became apparent on November 8th, De Lasarte stated
he must take the matter up with President Aguirre in New York.
Accordingly he has written a letter of protest to the latter
and has also submitted to us, with a copy to Aguirre, a summary
of his organization in Argentina. A translation of the summary
has been made and is attached hereto; there has also been made
a translation of the letter to,Aguirre and it is attached
hereto. It should be noted that the letter to Aguirre was not
submitted to this office for inspection but was handed us in
an envelope for transmission to the United States along with
other items of an administrative nature intended for Aguirre.
That envelope is o transmitted herewith and should be for-warded to Aguirresi
The attached ranslation of the Suary of Organization
will be discussed first. It should be noted that De Lasarte
has, it is understood, increased his organization to the follow-
ing extent since our relationship has been in effect: A sur-
veillance and investigative squad of three men has been added;
managing this squad and obtaining information from various *
sources/about nationalist organizations, religious circles,"

Re: means ORGANIZATION IN ARGENTINA .;-.-.;-i

 The Galician group is larger than the Basque in Argentina,
but is evidently completely unorganized for intelligence
work!. As pointed out in the letter the latter two men,the one working on Communism and have been
unproductive to date. Informatio eg ommunistshas been obtained bythrough local Catalan contacts
and through a friend who nas managed to enter the Communist
Party here. It has been pointed out to De Lasarte that
while there is a large number of people in Argentina who
are either Basques or of Basque descent, contacted through
the Basque elegation, actually this group appears to be
of little use to him in obtaining information either because
of faulty contact or poor organization. This has been ad- &#39;
mitted by him and he has explained that difficulties caused
by the present Argentine government and police attitude towards
intelligence work are responsible; moreover, the existence of,
a large Basque colony is always cited by him as a principal
attraction of the Basque Organization here. The files,
which are mentioned, are in such shape as to be of little use
to us at present; requests given them in August for information
on individuals which they are supposed to have are still un-
answered because, they say, the file re not yet organizedso that the information can be foundigf
Under the section known as "Results" of the Summary
it is noted that part 2 complains that attention has not
been given to various plans for interesting industrial
enterprises. It is recalled that one written plan was sub-
mitted by De Lasarte for the construction of tunnels in
Argentina; this was in turn submitted by us to the appropriate
section of the Embassy which, in turn, advised it had no
interest in the project. De Lasarte was advised of all this.
Then, before a working relationship was entered into by us _
with De Lasarte on June 8, but while negotiations were in
the preliminary stage, he mentioned the possibility of sub- _
sidizing a small Basque fishing concern which might be started
on the southern Argentine coast, and wondered whether this
would be of interest. After the relationship was entered &#39;
into he was asked for details on this matter and stated that
it was then too late, that the opportunity had been lost.. Noother industrial e§z¬rprise projects have been subitted for
our consideration. »

In the attached translation of De Lasartes letter to
Aguirre,it will be observed that he feels the reason behind
this reduction in amount to be paid is not the concern over
money itself but rather a loss of trust and understanding.
De Lasarte has been assured that there has occurred no such
"loss of trust and understanding" and has been told that the
reason was exactly as stated; he a however,

De Lasarte has also insisted that freedom in handling a
certain amount of money should be given him to take care of
unforseen contingencies, such as trips found necessary in
connection with the intelligence work. To date, these trips
have consisted of one or more to Uruguay, via river steamer,
and one to Chile by air, on the part of De Lasarte, and two
trips to the provinces of Salta and Juiuy on the part of
and possibly Paraguay to organize the Basques here in coord-ance with original instructions from Aguirre.§
It is noted that in the next-to-last paragraph of
De Lasarte&#39;s letter he states that if the cut is to be made

- Last month when I returned from trip to Chile
the friends bearers of this letter told me that they were going
to reduce the amount of their contribution to our labors, because
tnese latter no not reach tne value of the amount flied. My
surprise was great and my annoyance was greater, still more so
because at that moment I was particularly pleased with the result
or the trip to Chile and also on seeing that good work had been
done here during my absence. I set forth every possible
consideration in entire opposition to the measure, that is to
against the reduction and especially against its immediate

fortnightly allotment and perceived that the said reduction had
been made. Earlier on that same day, I had been speaking with
them about some estimates to begin the work in Bolivia, and they
had brought me the telegram ordering me to see about the sending
or a person to Chile. I repeated all the considerations stated
during the past month. In addition to insisting that our work
was not worth the payment, the friend told me that he had already
notified me during the preceding month that the reduction would

I brought the enclosed statement which I handed to him, and in
addition made all pertinent explanations. The friend did not
change his attitude, and we the agreed that the situation bestated by means of this letter.?k
I find it very difficult to write it, as it forces I
me to give details normally not necessary, and it reminds me of
something similar which occurred in Paris. Therefore, I do so
briefly in the hope that the enclosed statement and previous
acquaintance with the salient features of our system of working
supply for its brevity. Speaking frankly, with the same frankness
that I use with our friends, without diminution or sincere personal
esteem and true regard for their Cause, which is ours, I understand
that on their part there is a lack of trust and understanding
towards us. From my point of view, nothing-justifies the
reduction, though naturally I do not claim to have reached perfectiu
and I do not conceal our faults and even our partial failures.
I do not understand how in the present circumstances it can be
said that our work is not worth the amount of their llotmentwhen it costs us who work hard quite an amount more.%R
The five months which have passed since the
beginning of our collaboration have been very difficult for all
the S.I.  Intelligence Service! to the extent that there have
been numerous arrests of agents and the hints that we have always
received from the S.I.  Intelligence Service! have advised prudence
and have forbidden work in certain delicate matters. All this
means work in a scattered and divided way, which has a direct .
result on the economic situation. The organization of the files,
for example, does not deserve mention under other circumstances;
in the circumstances in which we live, for security reasons and
for lack of plomatic status, they require notable attentionand expense.;é
we have not fixed limits or restrictions to our
collaboration with this 8.0.  Legal Attache! because of difficultie
or such reasons. It has been necessary to use patience and
prudence and to proceed gradually, but without slackening or
interrupting, looking after the whole extent of possible objectives
according to instructions, and looking towards the future with
the realization that our Service is not a short-liv flower but.
rather has a mission to perform in the near future.
. Right from the beginning we have given the S.C.
 Legal Attache! an appreciable amount of work, including all that
has been given to other S.I.  Intelligence Service!; we have
increased the extent of our S.  Service! and specialized itssections; we have notably improved the informative potential%¬

of our Organization. To Judge with a feeling of impati nce
or with a commercial view requiring results imediately on
payment, 1t is possible to be dissatisfied. Judging with
profound visio , I do not believe there is reason for dis-satisfaction.§z92
This does not prevent our acknowledging that we
have not attained all the objectives pointed out in the preliminary
instructions for this section, but the fact is that until a short
time ago it was not possible to make the trip to Chile and
the management of the S.V.  Basque Organization! in that country
is still pending and now we are beginning to consider the question
of the S.V.  Basque Organization! in Bolivia. In this situation
is it possible to aw definite conclusions and to have means .of activity left? $2
In the enclosed statement it is acknowledged that
up to the present the attempts to form a special Galician section
and a section for Communism have been failures. But is it not
interesting to try to form a complementary service based on the
Galician leaders? Isn&#39;t the attempt worth while? Should we be,
discouraged because the results are slow in coming? It is _
conceded that the section concerning Communism has not attained,-
its object, nevertheless one of our agents has succeeded in
entering the organization of the P.C. and there i close surveil-lance of its members here and en route to Spain. 5%
On our part there is no overtrustful feelings
which denies criticism and the pointing out of defects, but this
defense of the activity of the S.V.  Basque Organization! is
necessary as all its members have during these difficult times
done their utmost by displaying the purest idealism and a spirit
of sacrifice cc responding to the confidence which has beenplaced in them.g< .
Because I believe that once the question has been
brought forth for discussion I ought not to keep my opinion
from being known, I say that I attribute what has happened to
a lack of trust and understanding. The economic factor cannot &#39;
worry our friends for whom I am certain that it is something -
really insignificant in the volume of their budget. Perhaps
it is difficult for them to get accustomed, on account of their
professional habits, to dealing not with agents but with a
modest service, as modest as you will, but which is not a group
of individuals, agents of theirs, but rather the B.I.  Intelligence
Service! of e patriotic organization which is working in thebelief of serving the common Cause of Liberty, and at the same HQK
time its own patriotic Cause. So long as there is no understandi

of this principle, not only intellectually but also in practice,
things will not go well. For my part, my conscience prevents
me from working except on the basis of this principle. If my
saying this is unnecessary, on account of its being undeserved,
let it be attributed to the fact that what has happened has
caused in me a disillusion and a beginning of depression which
I feel obliged not to hide.
If it is urged that the system established in
neighboring countries is in contradiction with this trust which
seek, I must declare that the Instructions considered the case
of B.A. as something special, due to the conditions and
complexity of our work here and in addition the duties of the=administration of the S.V. {Basque Organization! in neighboring
countries require that flexibility which in practice - a new
case is now pending in setting up a new office for Chile -
decisively contributes to the functi ing of the S.V.  BasqueOrganization! in the said countries.q¥g92
If these arguments and those which may be added
are not sufficient to cancel the measure of reduction, there
remains the problem of looking after the expenses which willcontinue to accruef§¥;_ . .
If the measure remains in force, my plan for which
I request approval is to begin the suppression of items with
mine. This is not a thoughtless act of seeking relief from work
/or trouble, but a measure necessary for such an eventuality and //will not affect the yield of the S V  Basque Organization!.

It would be advisable, better to say necessary,
that the reply to this letter be made by telegram giving exact

At the end of five months collaboration by the
S.V.  Basque Organization! with the S.I.  Legal Attache! it is
time to consider very frankly the features and results of this
collaboration. For this purpose we are setting forth in this
statement:§ I .A!92lhe organization of the S.V.  Basque Organization!

DI!-!£E92!L"!S,_1. 92 The principal lever of the S.V.  Basque Organization!
is the Ba ue Delegation with all its affiliated and subordinateagencies: X V
The _ewspaper/Pd-uzko Deya" t "92&#39;Ihe kiga de Amigos de los Vascos"92/iéeague of the Friendso_f;_the Basque ! , "&#39;**"""*- ""&#39; "  O"&#39;"""""" &#39;i&#39;he%c>mité Pro Inmigracién Vasca" k3a_s_qu_e ImmigrationGormit-tee! "    1
&#39;"" " Cultural and recreational clubs of Buenos Aires and
other places in Argentina.
This general organization which depends on the Basque
Delegation is of assistance to the SJ?-&#39;.  Basque Organization!
in becoming acquainted with current events throughout the country.
This organization is constantly growing. One instance of this is
that during the year new Basque Societies have been founded at ~
Mar del Plats, La Plata, Necochea, and Santa Fe, and others arebeing formed at Bragado and Mendoza!?
2. The general office of the V.  Basque Organization! is
the office of the "Estudios Econémicos Vasco-Argentinos"  Basque-
Argentine Economic Studies!. This office was opened for that F -specific purpose. A press section functions in the same building.}/
3. Direct relations betwe n S.V.  Basque Organization! and -, 8.0.  Legal Attache! are maintaigpd by a special section with its ._ subordinate surveillance group.

The sections of S.V.  Basque Organization! connected!
with the other S.I.  Other intelligence organizations!,
The special section working on Communism;
The Galicien section;
The files. V
5. The preceding gives an exact picture of the S. V.
 Basque Organization! not according to a logical scheme, but
Just as it really is. It must be realized that various cir-
oumstances cause the theoretically perfect to be ut aside todo what is possible from a practical viewpoint. Q5
RESULTS
l. The Argentine political situation has been a great
obstacle to the forwarding of information from the general Basque
organization to the S.V,  Basque Organization!. As a matter of
fact, the great mass of Basques and Basque-Argentines is pro-
foundly democratic. Though there are Basque-Argentines in all
sectors, the great majority-have always been connected with the
Radical Party. The democratic tradition of the race and the
Basque origin of Hipélito Irigoyen have had much to do with this
fact. There have been times and places, as in the last elected
government of Entre Rios when all the officials - Governor,.Ministers, etc. - were of Basque originfvk g
As a result of this disagreement between the present
military policy and the opinion of the Basques in Argentina it is
evident that the Basque Delegation has been limited in its re-
lations with official circles. It follows as a consequence of this
that the expected supplying of nformation has not reached the
limit of normal possibilities. 4
2. The results of the Office of Economic Studies would have
been improved if attention had been given to the various plans for
interesting industrial enterprises which were subitted soon
after collaboration began between the S.V.  Basque Organization! -
and the 8.0.  Legal Attache!. Lack of interest or delay in con-
sidering the matter ruined the plan of establishing a fishing &#39;
oopany in the southern seas. Its nterest as a medium of obtain-ing information is evident at once.§§L
The office of Economic Studies has by its own means
established very interesting contacts with official agencies. Apart
from this, it does its work_as e "cover" and general officesatisfactorily. The same may be said of the press office annexed
to it.

¥Hj¥Q{HA
3. The special section working with the S.C.  Legal Attache!
has been very active, and has obtained notable results in the
short time it has been functioning. Though it is not the purpose
of this statement to set forth a detailed analysis, it is -
pertinent to mention that the reports about the Argentine national-
ists, the penetration into religious circles and the Journeys toSalts, were good work done by this section. éé
L. In the sections directly depending on the Headquar ers ofthe S.V.  Basque Organization!, there should be pointed out:§K
A! Noticeable improvement in the results of the S.V.
 Basque Organization! in Uruguay and Chile. .
B! The continuous excellent work of the maritime sectionCertainly the work in this matter has diminished but vigilance _j 
must be kept up, with the assurance that, as it has up to the
present, the S.V.  Basque Organization! by its surveillance of
the Spanish ships and their crew can obtain very good results in
this matter.
O! The section working on Communism ought to improve
its work, for which the S.V.  Basque Organization! has very
special facilities. _
D! The Galician section has produced very little.
-5. There is no need to insist on the difficulties caused by
the Argentine police, as they are only too well known and are
suffered by all S.I.  Intelligence Organizations!. The S.V.
 Basque Organization! has had to place some of its agents in
safety in another country, dispense with others, and be on the
alert at all times. Other S.I.  Intelligence Organizations!
have been obliged not to work as a precautionary measure in some
matters. Many of their agents have been imprisoned, others became
known and have had to give up working. The S.V.  Basque Organization!
suffered very little from is persecution. It has never ceased
working as much as possible.
PIANS
1. The first plan is to improve all activities. All pros-pects are favorable and there is good reason for hope.92{
2. In e general review of the Basque organization, to
reorganize the "League of Friends of the Basques" and the "Basque
Immigration Oomittee" by bringing in new and valuable members, and
to multiply the activity o these organizations es soon as the
situation begins to change.

3. An atmosphere of greater political liberty will also
allow closer link g of Basque-Argentines through the Office of
Economic Studies.
L. We expect to improve contacts with our friends and
correspondents in the country, which up to now has been a verydifficult problem to solve.!§
5. At the present time we hope to begin the work of S.V.
 Basque Organization! in Bolivia. uring the past few days steps
in this direction have been taken.
6. There is also under consideration the sending of a
director for the S.V.  Basque Organization! in Chile. This will
undoubtedly improve the work of S.V.  Basque Organization! inthat country.92L92 .
7. It is to be hoped that the Gelieian section will begin
to produce results. This is logical and very important in viewof the s¬gf.and connections of the Galician colony in this
country.
BUDGET
l. The S.V.  Basque Organization! has never worked with a
budget established beforehand, but has used the means which were
placed within its reach. On the other hand, as may be seen from
this statement, the work entrusted to the S.V.  Basque Organization!
of Buenos Aires is still in the organization stage. It is
difficult therefore to make a fo 92al budget, but the followingdata can be give about expensesggy
" 92
2. The most important and permanent are two thousand pesos
towards general expenses of the Basque Delegation; fifteen hundred
pesos for the office of Economic Studies; two thousand pesos for
the section working with S.C.  Legal Attache!; two thousand five
hundred pesos for the Headquarters or $.V.  Basque Organization!.
The am. t assigmd personally to the director is eight hundredpesos.g£f
3._ _ _ . - - 1- - Q. -nu -92 - 4-
rrom what has been said above it rollows that the
empenses or S.V.  Basque Organization! are much in excess or,§ight thousand psos. The amount in excess is net by various
essisgnments. -

Having received on the l3th instant a Bumons dated
November 18 to the extraordinary session announced for January
10, l9h5, together with Circulars l and 2, the deputies who
sign below, and who are parties to Galeuzca  Galicia, Euzkadi
and Catalonia} and under its discipline address themselves to _= -the {;es$:ent of the Cortes of the Spanish Republic to declare
-> to h : ; -I 1 . " __
1.&#39; - Due to the characteristics of the summons and the time
available till January 10, it is evident that in the present cir-
cumstances there is no possibility for the undersigned to be
present at the proposed meeting. When we set forth this imppossibility it&#39;i&,proper to make known our protest at the formof the suzmonss K
y ~ glocording to our understanding of the facts with which
we are acquainted, in thB,Pr6p&rt1OH for_this meeting due
respect for the Jurisdiction of deputies residing outside Mexico
has not been observed, since previous consultations were not
held. Such consultations are indispensable in having the
effectiveness of an organis.which has been paralyzed for years
begin with prospects of success. The responsibility for this
deficiency shall not be ours, if the meeting turns out to be
a fiction, ndemned to failure by the very smallness of its
objectives.~s
2>
2. Bearing in mind the foregoing, the proper thing in our
opinion is the postponement of the announced meeting in order
to give time for a fundamental agreement to be reached before-
hand among the representatives of all, or in place of this,
among the greet majority of the republican political groups,d with the legitimate delegations of the peoples of Igzkadi,&#39; atalonia and alicia taking part in the agreement,T~
&#39; 3. Iith reference to points 1, 2 and L of the order of
the day of the summons, the deputies who sign below understand
that the discussion of these questions must be reserved for a
later occasion in view of the fact that the majority of the
deputies are absolutely unaware of the background which would
aable.tham to form an opinion. Is understand that before ,:&#39;;z
these points are discussed the permanent Deputation ought to k "
rfcraard a eep- of the minutes of its meetings -d detailed r_ of the steps it has taken since lfebruary, 1939..-P;   F  _ _
""&#39; " - Iith reference to point 3 of the order of the day we
. defend the re-establishment of the republican form.of gove t.
Ie agree with this objective proclaimed as the first basis in
the agreement of the Rational Alliance of Democratic Forcesoorxss nnsraovsn &#39;
