ARGENTINA
Conservative Argentine military of-
ficers are trying to force President Videla
to take a tougher line on a broad range of
issues, particularly subversion. Unless
Videla asserts himself, the cohesion of the
military will be threatened.
Videla and the advisers who share his
moderate and methodical approach to
national problems are trying to curb ar-
bitrary arrests by police and military
security services, compile a list of those
detained, and halt vigilante-style activities
by semiofficial death squads against
suspected or known leftists.
Some of Videla's subordinates are also
attempting to work with Peronist labor
and political leaders in hopes of eventual-
ly building a base of popular support for
spT
Admiral Massera
the labor force, destroy the influence of
corrupt and irresponsible politicians, and
eliminate the well-entrenched leftists.
The good will and confidence initially
accorded the junta at home and abroad is
evaporating in the face of its inability to
control right-wing terrorism. Labor and
political leaders are increasingly con-
cerned about Videla's inability to enforce
the moderate line he promised on taking
office.
This situation is ready-made for ex-
ploitation by leftist-extremists, particular-
ly if Videla allows the schisms within the
military to grow.
