CHILE MINISTER OF DEFENSE: MARAMBIO HAS TOLD
THE US AMBASSADOR THAT THE ARMED FORCES WILL NOT
PERMIT A GOVERNMENT ~~SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCED BY
COMMUNISTS~~ TO COME TO POWER AS A RESULT OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN SEPTEMBER ],97~.
MARAMBIO SPECIFICALLY RULED OUT A CO MUNIST-
SUPPORTED GOVERNMENT HEADED BY A LEFTIST RADICAL OR
A SOCIALLST. HE-SAID THE MILITARY HAD N'0 CL' EAR
PLANS- EIT.WER FOR TAKING OVER THE: GOVERNMENT OR FOR
RUNNING :I T, BUT WOULD FIND SOMEONE TO PUT INTO POWER
AND A TE"AM OF EXPERTS TO SUPPORT HIM.
PRESIDENT
FREI HIMSELF BELIEVES THAT IF BY NEXT FEBRUARY OR
MARCH A POPULAR FRONT CANDIDATE IS CLEARLY LEADING,
THE ARMED FORCES WILL INTERVENE AT THAT TIME RATHER
THAN FLOUT THE POPULAR WILL AFTER THE ELECTION.
MARAMBIO ALSO CLAIMED TO HAVE RECEIVED CLEAR
INDICATIONS FROM THE ARGENTINE MILITARY THAT ONLY
PRE-EMPTIVE ACTION BY THE CHILEAN ARMED FORCES WOULD
FORESTALL ARGENTINE INTERVENTION TO PREVENT A MARXIST
GOVERNMENT IN CHILE.
ALTHOUGH THE CHILEAN MILITARY IS PROUD OF ITS
REPUTATION FOR BEING APOLITICAL, YOUNGER OFFICERS
ARE COMING UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF EVENTS IN ARGEN-
TINA AND PERU. IN ADDITION, LOW WAGES AND POOR
EQUIPMENT HAVE INCREASED THE FEELING THAT THE CIVIL-
IAN POLITICIANS ARE INDIFFERENT TO THE NEEDS OF THE
ARMED FORCES.
