WESTERN HEMISPHERE BRIEF 153-75?Y
1. CHILE: ACTION TAKEN BY THE CHILEAN GOVERNMENT OVER THE
PAST WEEK SUGGESTS THE MILITARY REGIME WILL DO LITTLE TO RELAX
ITS STANCE ON SECURITY OR ITS BAN ON POL..,.LCS, AT LEAST IN THE
NEAR FUTURE.
WHEN A DOZEN FORMER OFFICIALS OF THE A4. *'.ENDE ADMINISTRATION
WERE RELEASED ON SEPTEMBER 121 THE GOVF:iiiMENT SAID THAT SOME
CHARGES WERE STILL PENDING AGAINST THEM. MOU.' THE NAVY HAS BEGUN
PROCEEDINGS AGAINST SIX OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ON CHARGES OF
SUBVERSION, AND AGAINST LUIS CORVALAN, SECRETARY GENERAL OF THE
COMMUNIST PARTY.
IN A SEPARATE ACTION, THE MINISTRY OF INTERIOR ANNOUNCED THAT
THE CHRI *IAN DEMOCRATIC PARTY--CHILE'S LARGEST---WILL NOT BE
PERMITTED A VOICE IN RJNNING THE GOVERNMENT. THE ANNOUNCEMENT
CAME AFTER THE PUBLIC AIRING OF CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN TWO PARTY
LEADERS THAT IN EFFECT REAFFIRMED THE PARTY'S DESIRE TO REACH AN
UNDERSTANDING WITH THE MILITAR!' GOVERNMENT F"R A RETURN TO
DEMOCRATIC RULE.

THE GOVERNMENT'S REACTION WAS A..CATEGORICAL REJECTION
OF A DIALOGUE WITH THE CHRISTIAN DEMOCRATS ON THIS BASIS. THE
GOVERNMENT'S STATEMENT FURTHERMORE RAISED THE THREAT OF
PUNISHMENT FOR ACTIVITY DEEMED CONTRARY TO THE TERMS OF THE
CONTINUING POLITICAL "RECESS."
ONE EFFECT OF THE GOVERNMENT'S STAND WILL BE TO COMPLICATE
PRESIDENT PINOCHET'S PROPOSAL TO FORM A "COUNCIL OF STATE,"
COMPOSED OF FORMER PRESIDENTS AND PROMINENT CHILEANS, TO ADVISE
THE GOVERNMENT. FORMER PRESIDENT FRET, THE MOST PROMINENT.
CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT, WILL FIND IT DIFFICULT TO PARTICIPATE AFTER
HIS PARTY HAS BEEN BUFFETED SO STRONGLY.
INTERNALLY, THESE DEVELOPMENTS CHANGE LITTLE. INTERNATIONALLY,
THEY WILL. FUEL FOREIGN CRITICISM AT A TIME WHEN CHILE IS TRYING
TO IMPROVE ITS IMAGE- BELGIUM, WEST GERMANY, AND THE UK HAVE
PLANS TO SPONSOR A UN RESOLUTION CONDEMNING CHILE'S STAND

ON THE 'ISLAND. DESPITE THE ADVERSE PROPAGANDA,'ESPE-
CIALLY IN THE HONG KONG PRESS, THAT RESULTED FROM THE
COLD-SHOULDERING OF THESE TEN, NATIONALIST LEADERS

PARED TO DEAL WITH PEKING WOULD CARRY GREAT RISKS.Y
TAIPEI WILL PROBABLY QE EN FOR EVEN ROUGHER PRESS
TREATMENT THIS TIME AROUND. THE CHINESE ANNOUNCED
MONDAY THAT PERMISSION HAD BEEN GIVEN TO 65 OF THE
RELEASED AGENTS TO RETURN TO TAIWAN. THIS MUCH
LARGER GROUP INCLUDES RELATIVELY YOUNGER MEN AND THEY
PRESUMABLY HAVE MANY RELATIVES LIVING ON TAIWAN. MORE-
