Chile-Cuba: The resumption of diplomatic re-
lations with Cuba is increasingly talked about, but
no early action appears likely.
Last week the president of President Frei's
Christian Democratic Party stated that the party
favors "the reintegration of Cuba into the inter-
American system" and would support the government
if it decided to renew diplomatic relations with
Cuba. Foreign Minister Valdes told the US ambas-
sador that he believes a normalization of relations
between the US and Cuba would have very positive
effects in Latin America. He added that information
from Chileans who have been in Europe and Cuba in-
dicates that Castro is not interested in a "mili-
tary pact of the Warsaw variety" or in continuing
his export of revolution.
There is no evidence that Cuba is interested
in re-establishing relations with Chile. Havana's
consistently hostile attitude toward the Frei ad-
ministration is evidenced by the continuation of
Radio Havana's specially prepared propaganda broad-
casts to Chile which depict Frei as a puppet of the
US? Although Cuban support for Latin American guer-
rillas has declined somewhat since the death of Che
Guevara in Bolivia in late 1967, "export of the
revolution" remains a basic tenet of the Castro
regime.
The Christian Democratic declaration probably
is intended primarily as an electoral ploy to at-
tract leftist votes in the congressional elections
in March. Despite the possible desires of Chileans
like Valdes, President Frei has told the US ambas-
sador that he plans no change in Chile's Policy
toward Cuba.
