SummaryResumen
The Evening Star analyzed strategic vulnerabilities in Caribbean defenses, warning of potential submarine threats to the Panama Canal and regional bases. The analysis noted ongoing armed conflict in Costa Rica, where government forces reportedly received backing from Dominicans, Nicaraguans, and Hondurans against rebels supporting Otilio Ulate. The author cautioned that a communist victory would leave American defense lines bordered by hostile regimes, with the unsympathetic Dominican government positioned centrally in the region.
El *Evening Star* examinó las vulnerabilidades operativas en el dispositivo de seguridad caribeño, previniendo acerca de posibles amenazas submarinas contra el canal de Panamá y las bases tácticas comarcanas. La crónica reparó en las hostilidades fratricidas de Costa Rica, señalando que las tropas gobiernistas contaban presuntamente con el apoyo de efectivos dominicanos, nicaragüenses y hondureños para contrarrestar a los alzados que secundaban a Otilio Ulate. El redactor alertó de que una victoria de cuño comunista dejaría el cordón defensivo estadounidense flanqueado por regímenes antagonistas, con el desconfiado gobierno dominicano afianzado en el corazón del espacio antillano.

equipped U-boats can operate at sea
for weeks without once rising to the
surface. Given secret bases in
South American or merely operat
ing at long-range out of Russia's
Arctic sea bases at Murmansk and
Petsamo, Red U-boats today could
easily mount devastating surprise
attacks on the Panama Canal,
Roosevelt Roads, St. Thomas or any
other base we hold in the vital un
derbelly defense area of the Spanish
Main.
The situation also is brought into
sharp focus by the current fight in
leftist-run Costa Rica between the
Communist government forces on
one side and the rebelling Ulatistas
on the other. Fighting for the Red
Costa Rican government forces are
Nicaraguans, Dominicans and Hon
durans, all present with the blessing
of their leftist-minded governments.
Democrat Otilio Ulate is receiving
aid from Guatemala and Pafiama.
If the Communists win in Costa
Rica, the United States must face
the fact that left-wing dictator
states will lie on our western flank
in the Caribbean (Costa Rica, Nica
ragua, Honduras) and at least one
unsympathetic government (the
Dominican Republic) is situated in
the center of the entire defense
area.
The bloody April 9 revolution in
Colombia—a short airplane flight
from the Panama Canal—also
should give pause to the Nation. A
Red victory in Colombia would pose
a definite threat to our Pacific life
line—a threat the United States
would be hard put to guard against
with its present meager forces in
the Caribbean area.
