It's ludicrous to think we ever destabilized elected Left-wing Latin American governments. Just ask Henry Kissinger.

Role of C.I.A. In Guatemala Told in Files Of Publisher

WASHINGTON, June 6— In June 1954, the publisher of The New York Times privately agreed with the Director of Central Intelligence to keep a foreign correspondent of The Times out of Guatemala, according to the publisher's personal files, just as the Central Intelligence Agency was secretly mounting a coup there.

''I telephoned Allen Dulles and told him that we would comply with their suggestion,'' reads a memorandum dictated by the publisher, Arthur Hays Sulzberger. The call took place on or about June 3, 1954.

Mr. Dulles, the Director, had suggested that the correspondent, Sydney Gruson, was politically suspect and should be kept out of Guatemala. Unknown to the publisher, the C.I.A. had elaborate plans to overthrow a freely elected leftist President, Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, and replace him with a hand-picked right-wing military officer, Col. Carlos Castillo Armas.

Although Mr. Sulzberger later defended Mr. Gruson against the C.I.A.'s complaints, he also said he would screen his articles ''with a great deal more care than usual,'' the documents show.

Wait enough, and almost all is revealed. Guess I'll have to live until 2058 for the facts.

These Marxists can't be allowed to continue interfering with our corporate profits.
