SummaryResumen
The Evening Star reviewed the history of Caribbean political conflicts, tracing how Venezuelan exiles and Romulo Betancourt helped form the Caribbean Legion to invade Rafael Trujillo's Dominican Republic. Following the collapse of those invasion attempts, legion remnants aided Jose Figueres in establishing power in Costa Rica during the 1948 revolution. Dictators Trujillo and Anastasio Somoza accused Figueres of harboring communist conspirators and reforming the legion to attack their regimes, charges Figueres dismissed as dictatorial paranoia.
El *Evening Star* repasó la historia de los conflictos políticos del Caribe, reseñando cómo los exiliados venezolanos y Rómulo Betancourt colaboraron en la formación de la Legión del Caribe para invadir la República Dominicana de Rafael Trujillo. Tras el fracaso de aquellas intentonas de invasión, los remanentes de la legión ayudaron a José Figueres a afianzarse en el poder en Costa Rica durante la revolución de 1948. Los dictadores Trujillo y Anastasio Somoza acusaron a Figueres de cobijar a conspiradores comunistas y reorganizar la legión para atacar a sus regímenes, señalamientos que Figueres desestimó considerándolos paranoia dictatorial.

ment proceeded too tar and too fast
and a military junta returned to
power.
When the old military regime
was overthrown, its leaders obtained
territorial asylum in the Dominican
Republic. There, under the tutelage
of President Rafael Trujillo Molina,
they plotted A counter-revolution.
Learning about this, Betancourt and
party helped organize an expedi
tionary force of asylees from Carib
bean totalitarian regimes to invade
the Dominican Repubic.
This force, named the Caribbean
Legion, trained in Cuba and failed
at two attempts to invade Trujillo's
land. It then disintegrated.
Costa Rican Adventure
Remnants of the legion figured
in a revolution that broke out in
Costa Rica late in 1948. A conserva
tive invalidated the free election of
a liberal president. Jose Figueres
mobilized a group of young liberals
and forced the Conservative-Com
munist coalition out, set himself up
as provisional president, and even
tually turned the government over
to the constitutionally elected presi
dent.
Betahcouft is in Costa Rica, with
his friend, Figueres. Trujillo and
Anastasio Bomo za, Nicaragua’s
"strong man,” claim Figueres and
Betancourt are reorganizing the
Caribbean Legion to invade Nicara
gua and the Dominican Republic.
They further claim Figueres ia
harboring a nest of Communist con
spirators, a name they generally
use for any one disagreeing with
them. Figueres denies the charges
and says the phantomlike Carib
bean Legion is only a "figment in
the minds of Caribbean dictators.”
These charges are part of a war
