ATTACKS OLAS CONFERENCE

The Brazilian Communist party has come out officially against the decisions of the OLAS (Organization of Latin- American Solidarity] conference held in Havana at the beginning of August.

The party's stand was announced in the September issue of Voz Opéraria [Worker's Voice]. The underground publication of the banned organization also reported that Carlos Marghela had been expelled. Marghela had represented the party at the OLAS conference.

Voz Opéraria affirmed that the perty "did not send any representative to the OLAS conference in Havana."

The Brazilian CP, with its classcollaborationist policies in past decades, played a key role in paving the way for the generals who seized power in April, 1964, and imposed today's military dictatorship on the country.

The party leaders still advocate "peaceful coexistence," hold that the "progressive" sector of the national bourgeoisie can play a leading role in the struggle against imperialism, and maintain that it is possible even in Brazil for socialism to be won through the electoral process.
