6, COMMENT: WHILE THE VISIT WAS EXTENSIVELY COVERED IN THE
PRESS HERE, THE SPIRIT OF THE COVERAGE WAS SUBDUED, WITH cIRTUALLY
No ATTENTION PAID TO THE PERSONALITIES OF ANY OF THE
VISITORS, IN GENERAL, THE VISIT WENT OFF OUTWARDLY IN A QUITE
NORMAL WAY, DOUBTLESS A REFLECTION AT LEAST IN PART OF THE
'ATERMINATION 0 THE GOB, EXPRESSED TO US BY FOREIGN MINISTRY
.00FFICIALS BEFOREHAND, TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, ACCORDING TO ONE
'Ime. OFFICIAL INVOLVED IN THE VISIT, THE ECONOMIC AND COMMERCIAL
ASPECTS WERE AS PREDOMINANT BEHIND THE SECNES AS THEY WERE IN
THE PUBLIC COVERAGE, WITH POLITICAL DISCUSSIONS LIMITED TO
"GENERALITIES",
7, THERE WERE, HOWEVER, SOME UNTOWARD SPOTS, AND EVEN SOME
ROUGH ONES, ONE AWKWARD INCIDENT REPORTED IN THE PRESS WAS THE
REFUSAL OF THE RELEVANT CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE TO AUTHORIZE
THE USUAL AWARD To CEAUSESCU DURING HIS PROTOCOLARY VISIT TO THE
CONGRESS: ONE ACCOUNT NOTED THAT IN RETALIATION, HIS ADDRESS TO
THE ASSEMBLED CONGRESSMEN WAS HEAVY WITH FIGURES', CEAuSEScU
AND GEISEL, HOWEVER, DID EXCHANGE THE USUAL DECORATIONS.
8, BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE VISIT WE ENCOUNTERED FOREIGN
MINISTRY OFFICIALS IN EMOTIONAL STATES APPROACHING FURY OVER THE
ROMANIANS' HANDLING OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ARRANGEMENTS, REPORTEDLY
FRAUGHT WITH CONSTANT CHANGES AND OUTRAGEOUS DEMANDS: THESE WERE
PARTICULARLY GALLING, SAID ONE OFFICIAL, BECAUSE CEAUSESCu NOT
ONLY INVITED HIMSELF BUT INSISTED ON COMING. ANOTHER, CALLING
THE ROMANIANS "MORE LATIN THAN WE ARS'', SAID TAT ONcE THE OFFICIAL
PROGRAM WAS FINALLY SET, THE BRAZILIANS RESPONDED BY
ABSOLUTELY REFUSING TO MAKE ANY FURTHER CHANGES. THE PRESENCE
IN THE PARTY Or PEOPLE DESIGNATED VARIOUSLY AS A COOK, A HAIR-
DRESSER,AND A TAILOR ALSO EVOKED COMMENT. SOME OF IT TAKING
THEM AT FACE VALUE; ONE OFFICIAL, HOWEVER, COMPLAINED THAT SINCE
THE PRESENCE OF SECURITY AGENTS IN SUCH CASES IS STANDARD INTER-

WHICH PRECEDED THE VISIT WERE NOT EASY t SAID ONE OFFICIAL
ABOUT THE ROMANIANS, "THEY WORK HARD AND THEY Give HARD WORK". ?
THE FINAL DELAYS REPORTED IN THE PRESS, HOWEVER, SAID ANOTHER,
WERE NOT THE RESULT OF LINGERING DISAGREEMENTS BUT SIMPLY OF THE
RUMANIAN BUREAUCRATIC REALITY THAT ONLY CEAUSESCU HIMSELF COULD
GRANT APPROVAL ONCE HE ARRIVED, A MINISTRY OFFICIAL INVOLVED
IN THE NEGOTIATIONS NOTED TO AN EmSOFF THAT THE BRAZILIANS WERE
PLEASED TO GET 12-yEAR REPAYMENT TERMS ON THE CREDIT, A BREAKTHROUGH
WHICH THE GOB HAS FOR SOME TIME BEEN SEEKING WITH ITS
TRADITIONAL CREDITORS, JUST HOW mucH OF THE CREDIT WOULD BE
USED, HE ADDED, WAS NOTHER MATTER.
10, IN TERMS OF HOW THE VISIT ACTUALLY WENT OFF, SECURITY DID
?1,40T APPEAR TO BE A SOURCE OF PARTICULAR WORRY TO ANYONE. IN
CONTRAST TO THE INFORMATION IN REFTEL PARA 3 THAT LARGE URBAN
CENTERS WOULD BE AVOIDED TO GUARD AGAINST AN UNWELCOME OUTBREAK
OF POPULAR SOCIALIST SENTIMENT, CEAUSESCU WENT TO SAO PAULO,
GRAeiLls LARGEST URBAN CENTER! AND IN CONTRAST TO THE IFNROmATION
GIVEN US BY A PROTOCOL OFFICER HERE TO THE EFFECT THAT THE
REAL CONCERN WAS A DEMONSTRATION BY ANTI-COMMUNIST ROMANIANS,
THE OFFICIAL PROGRAM CALLED FOR HIM TO MEET WITH THE RUMANIAN
COMMUNITY IN THAT CITY, IN FACTN THE PRESS HERE REPEATEDLY SAID
THAT SECURITY FOR THE VISIT WAS LIGHT,
11, WITH SENSITIVITIES IN RIGHT-WING CIRCLES HERE STILL TENDER
OVER THE AUGUST 1974 RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF TIES WITH THE PRC, THE
GEISEL ADMINISTRATION'S RECEPTION OF CEAUSESCU WAS NOT UNCOURAGEOUS,
AND IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE THAT THE BRAZILIAN PRESS$
REPEATEDLY EXPRESSED INTEREST IN CEAUSESCU AS A "DIFFERENT COMMUNIST-
DEFYING THE SOVIET RULE IN EASTERN EUROPE WAS PARTLY INSPIRED
By THE FOREIGN MINISTRY. CEAUSESCU HIMSELF, HOWEVER, STRICTLY
AVOIDED SUCH SUGGESTIONS WHEN THEY WERE MADE To Him, EVEN AT
THE COST OF APPEARING OBVIOUSLY EVASIVE. HIS REMARK ABOUT THE
ELIMINATION OF NATO AND THE WARSAW PACT WAS REPORTED IN THE
PRESS BUT EVOKED NO COMMENT HERE REGARDING EITHER ITS SUBSTANCE
OR ITS IMPROPRIETY, END COMMENT, CRImmINS

On the contrary, it is necessary for all governments, all dhlefs of state and all
politicians to understand the requirements of life in order to meet the great responsibilit?e,
SM historic transformations that are taking place in the life of society, transformations
to which they should contribute with-complete conviction because achieving a better and
more :ust world, a free life of well-being and happiness for each people is an
objective requirement of mankind's sociopolitical development. I believe that it is
the duty of each of us to do everything to meet the new requirements in order to
serve one ,s people, civilization and peace.
Once again I wax* to express my satisfaction at the close cooperation that is developing
between Romania and Brazil both at a bilateral level and in the international arena,
at the joint efforts aimed at strengthening the United Nations and other international
organisations and at the achievement of the peoples, aspirations for creating a new
international economic order, a world of fruitful cooperation among all nations.
I want to express my conviction that, in the spirit of the sound relations between our
peoples and between the Romanian and Brazilian jurists, relations of close cooperation will
develop between us.
In concluxion, once again, I want to wish the friendly Brazilian people increasingly
groat squeegees along the road to well-being, happiness and peace.
Let friendship and eooperation between the Romanian and arazilian people flourish
constantly, let peace and cooperation among peoples triumph. (applause)

ROIWIIA,"
The concept according to which man's way of life and thus peoples' ways of life
influences their thought, ideas, their manner of actions; the concept of inter-
dependence between the production forces, work and living conditions on the one hand,
and social relations and the idea about the world of the peoples generally is almost
unanimously accepted. The great aohievements of SOIOMAe and knowledge, the
tremendous changes that are taking place in the peoples' lives delonstrate at an
international level, too, this interdependence and mutual influence, the decisive
role played by the people and peoples in achieving all the revolutionary transforma-
tions that are taking place in the world.
Indeed, there were also skeptical and distrustful people as there are people today
who want to stop mankind's development proceeding from the idea of the eternal
nature of certain states of affair, We and events, however, contradict them,
one could say, day by day, hour by hour. Are the past empires that dominated Romania
and Brazil, as well as other scores of peoples, not considered eternal since today
they are mentioned only in historical works?
In our time we can witness how peoples are overthrowing through struggles the old
relations of inequality and oppression, eliminating colonialism, the imperialist
policy of force and diktat and neocolonialism and how they are creating new relations
of cooperation based on equality and respect among states and nations.
This also requires the revision of the old norm of Justice and international law,
the creation of new concepts that will govern relations among states and nations based
on full equal rights, respect for national independence and sovereignty, non-
interference in internal affairs, renunciation of force or the threat of force_
in interstate disputes, mutual advantage, as well as on the respect for each people's
01.0k. right to master its national riches and its destiny.
As is known, until only recently there were people--and unfortunately there are still
such people--who tried to praise the old norms and principles of inequality in
interstate relations.
It is this very policy that contributed to the maintenance of almost two-thirds of
mankind in conditions of underdevelopment and to the division of the world into rich
and poor countries. Mere than ever it is necessary to achieve a new international
economic order that will open up the road to eliminating underdevelopment and to the
rapid progress of each nation, a road that will permit the access of all to the
achievements of world science and culture. We must constantly proceed from the
concept that each people, regardless of size or social system, must equally and freely
enjoy the advantages of civilization.
Achieving a new economic order also requires a new political order, new norms of
International Justice that will establish the higher principles of respect for the
right of the nations and peoples to master their destinies and to organize their lives
in keeping with their own aspirations. Such a concept of international law will
open up the road to fruitful cooperation among all peoples in all fields of activity.
One can state that once all peoples have won complete independence, once a better
and more Just world is achieved, a world in which people will be truly free, they
will be able to consciously shape their lives.
This will be a new and greater era, it will be an era of true social Justice and
equity.
Alik. Undoubtedly the deep revolutionary changes that have occurred in today's society, in
the present-day world and in the peoples' awareness open up excellent prospects for a
system of well-being and happiness. There is no reason for anyone to fear these
prospects that open up a new era of the flourishing of the civilkeniono.f

Romania, the speaker recalled, develops intensely her industry, agriculture, all
compartments of activity. The growth rate of industrial output was in recent years, for
instance 14 per cent.
Highlighting that Romania broadly promotes the relations of international cooperation
not only under the form of economic or commercial exhcanges, but also of cooperation
in production, inclusive of the setting up of joint companies, president Nicolae
Ceausescu pointed out that such companies operate both in Romania and with Romanian
participation in foreign countries. As to those carrying on activity in Romania,
the Romanian state holds 51 per cent of their capital, while those which Romania sets
up in other countries operate upon the same principle, the respective state holding
51 per cent evidently in keeping with the understanding reached.
Romania actively participates in tens of cooperation ventures with other countries--
including joint companies--in oil, mining, as well as in cooperation under the form of
technical assistance.
Referring to the understanding reached with Brazil, the Romanian head of state empha-
sized the prospects of a broader cooperation in the domain of transport means, collabor-
ation in the iron-and-steel and metallurgical industries. "/n this connection, the
Romanian head sat state specified, agreement was reached on the opening of a credit of

cooperation when one sets out from equality of rights and mutual respect", President
Nicolae Ceausescu pointed out that, on this basis, he appreciated together with pres-
ident Oeisel that in the next 2-3 years, the economic exchanges between Romania and

ITALIAN COOPERATION IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS SECTOR REPORTED
Sao Paulo 0 ESTADO DE SAO PAULO in Portuguese 7 Apr 76 p 12
[Text] Brazil and Italy will be able to develop a broad program of
technological and scientific cooperation in the telecommunications sec-
tor, as was confirmed between ministers Quandt de Oliveira and Giulio
Orlando during meetings held over the past two days. The commercial
agreement in this field has already begun to yield results, with Brazil
getting a loan of $30 million from the Italian Government; this money
will be used to procure telecommunications equipment intended for the
Brazilian system.
Yesterday, the two ministers met to present the conclusions of their
agreements which can be summarized as follows: development of indus-
trial cooperation in the field of technology and equipment for tele-
communications, including the industrial activities of Italian or Ital-
ian-Brazilian enterprises located in Brazil; supply, by Italy, of new
special loans for the financing of equipment for Brazil; and link be-
tween Brazil and Italy through the international direct dialing system,
introduction of facsimile services and data transmission between the
two countries.
As Senator Giulio Orlando, Italian minister of postal affairs and tele-
communications, explained, cooperation between the two countries "is a
new type of understanding which goes beyond simple commercial interests";
he recalled that during his meeting with Minister Reis Velloso, the latter
pointed out that the two countries are developing digital electronic tech-
nology with the idea of centralizing the telecommunications system of each
country; and they can collaborate in the development of their respective
industrial projects.
More Exchange
In the minutes of the meeting between the ministers, Quandt de Oliveira
proved to be satisfied with the industrial activities of the Italian
enterprises which are established in this sector in Brazil: Pirelli,
Olivetti of Brazil, Auso Eletronica, and Telecomunicacoes Ltda., Telettra
do Brasil SA, Sielte and Sirtel--Company for the Installation of Telecom-
munications and Electrical Networks, Incorporated.

COSTA RICA
FIGUERES CALLS FOR INSTITUTIONAL REFORMS
Panama City ACAN in Spanish 0053 GMT 12 Jun 75 PA--FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
[Transmitted by PRELA to Havana]
[Text] San Jose, Costa Rica, 11 Jun--Former President Jose Figueres has called for a
profound national institutional reform and a period of strong, although not tyranical,
rule in order to bring it about. This has caused quite a stir in Costa Rican political
circles. The former president--who is still a strong political force both inside and
outside the government--spoke at the University of Costa Rica before dozens of students
and called for a more just regime which would bring a third of Costa Rica's population
out of their misery. He declared that the incumbent constitutional regime is an
impediment which must disappear, suggesting a period of strong rule which would be
mindful of certain freedoms and willing to make profound juridical, institutional, and
economic changes and later call a constituent assembly to provide the nation with a
political charter which differs from the present one.
Figueres' remarks have generated great interest and already yesterday the incumbent
president, Daniel Oduber, and two of his intimate coworkers, the ministers of the
presidency and foreign affairs, Carlos Manuel Castillo and Gonzalo Justo Facio,
conferred with the former president about this.
Today in the journal [word indistinct] Figueres announced an expansion of his ideas
which Minister Castillo termed "interesting."
The government is not commenting on Figueres' ideas although it is following the reaction
with obvious attention. It is well known that in the political circles in favor of and
opposed to the government, the former president's stand is followed closely.
It was known that Figueres privately favored calling a constituent assembly to draft
a new political charter, but his remarks had not gone so far as the ooncepts he stated
at the University of Costa Rica nor had they gained such publicity.

ECHEVERRIA URGES PRESS INDEPENDENCE OF 'OLIGARCHIES'
Mexico City PRELA in Spanish to PRELA Havana 1442 GMT 8 Jun 75 PA--FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY
[Text] Mexico City, 8 Jun--Mexican President Luis Echeverria Alvarez strongly urged all
newspaper editors in the country to remain Independent of oligarchic groups. Yesterday,
Echeverria was the guest of honor at the annual dinner held on freedom of the press
day.
In his message to Mexican newspapermen, the chief executive assured his government's
absolute respect for freedom of the press and expression "without restrictions."
"Freedom of the press," he said, "is a social right, not a privilege of the oligarchic
groups."
Echeverria noted that "even the inconveniences caused the administration as a result of
the misuse of freedoms are preferable to suppressing such freedoms in order to gain
ostensible advantages in the way of any official inflexibility."
i172; called on Mexican newsmen to defend their country's sovereignty and economic
independence, preserve its cultural patrimony, respect public opinion, and live up to
the weighty responsibilities of their profession. He then strongly urged them to remain
Independent "not only of public power, but most importantly of the powerful economic
interests which usually influence the orientation and emphasis of the information media."
Speaking for all the journalists, Antonio Andere, director of the newspaper LA AFICION,
affimied that freedom of the press must be "an active principle in the quest for justice
which is unavoidable, unpostponable and the quest for justice which is unavoidable,
unpostponable and vital."

REPORTAGE ON VISIT OF CYPRUS MINISTER PATSALIDHIS
Economic, Technical Accord Signed
Mowcow in Greek to Greece 1600 GMT 1 Oct 75 LD
Azifeziw,72
[Text] An agreement on economic and technical coopeation between the Soviet Government
and the Government of the Cyprus Republic was signed at the USSR Council of Ministers
State Committee for Foreign Economic Relations.
The signing ceremony was attended by Cypriot Minister of Finance Andreas Patsalidhis;
the Cyprus ambassador to the Soviet Union, Dhimos Hadzimilitis; and staff members of the
Cyprus Embassy. It was attended on the Soviet side by Semen Skachkov, chairman of the
State Committee for Foreign Economic Relations, and by senior committee officials, as
well as by representatives of TASS, APN, Soviet radio and television.
The agreement provides for the exchange of specialists and consultants; for industrial
and technical training; for the construction of specific projects and enterprises, and
the supply of equipment and material for them; for exchange of views between specialists
in economy and technology; and for the exchange of patents, licenses and scientific-
technological information.
As pointed out in Article 6, the agreement comes into force on the day of signing .and.
is valid for 10 years. It will be automatically extended for 10 more years.. if neither
Side demands its anntIment 6 months before the expiry date.
The agreement was signed for the Soviet Government by Semen Skachkov, and for the
Cyprus Government by Andreas Patsalidhis.
After the signing, both sides spoke briefly. Andreas Patsalidhis particularly expressed
sincere thanks to the Soviet Government for its readiness to help Cyprus during a.
difficult period. He said the signing of the treaty represents another step in
strengthening the friendly relations between the Soviet Union and the Cyprus Republic,
steps which serve the interests of both countries and peoples. "We hope the agreement
will create stronger cooperation in the economic field, because it expresses the desire
of the two sides to develop such economic and technical cooperation," he said.
In conclusion, the Cypriot minister stressed that the agreement on economic and techni-
cal cooperation serves to deepen mutual understanding between our peoples, and contri-
butes to the preservation of world peace.
The chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers State Committee on Foreign Economic
Relations, Semen Skachkov, said he hoped the agreement will contribute to the creation
of an atmosphere of sincere friendship between the peoples of the Soviet Union and
Cyprus and to the deepening of the process of detente. He emphasized that economic
and technical cooperation between our countries represents a practical application of
the letter and spirit of the final act of the European conference signed recently in
Helsinki.
"Similarly," Semen Skachkov went on, "the agreement represents the desire of the Soviet
Government to give economic and technical assistance, on the basis of mutually advantageous
conditions, to the Cyprus Republic, which is passing through a difficult period.

The purpose of the agreement is to contribute to the aelround [word indistinct) and
the strengthening of economic life in Cyprus, to the advantage of all the people of
the island." From that point of view, it is radically different from the agreements
which the Cyprus Republic concludes with capitalist countries and which have completely
different aims, particularly the taking away of profits and capital from the country.
"/ think that our common duty is to find such specific fields of economic and technical
cooperation as would contribute to the development of Cyprus' economy," Semen Skachkov
concluded.

PETROV SCORES ATTEMPTS AT SPLITTING CYPRUS
Moscow IZVESTIYA in Russian 27 Sep 75 Morning Edition p 3 LD
[G. Petrov article: "Obstacles in the Way of a Settlement"]
[Text] The virtual breakdown of the fourth stage of the intra-Cyprus talks, which
were to have taken place this time in New York, and the renewed talk of the proclama-
tion of an "independent" Turkish Cypriot state on Cyprus have once again drawn attention
to the fate of this island.
It will be no exaggeration to say that from the very moment of its birth the Republic
of Cyprus has been the object of endless intrigues by international reaction and, above
all, by the NATO military. NATO circles have long been nurturing plans to turn the
territory of Cyprus, which occupies an exceptionally important strategic position, into
a NATO strong point in the eastern Mediterranean. It was precisely with this aim that
repeated attempts were made to subordinate the Republic of Cyprus to NATO's interests,
and precisely this aim lies at the basis of the imperialist circles' conspiracies against
the sovereignty, integrity and independence of the Cypriot state.
Last year's putsch organized against the legitimate Government of Cyprus and the armed
external interference in this country's internal affairs were a link in the chain of
these intrigues. The consequences of these actions proved very serious. The island's
economic life was disorganized and is being rehabilitated with difficulty. Tens of
thousands of Cypriots were forced to leave their homes as a result of the military
operations which developed on the island. A huge army of refugees appeared. The situa-
tion was complicated by the steps taken unilaterally by the leadership of the Turkish
community to set up a detached state formation on that part of the territory of Cyprus
controlled by Turkish troops.
To judge from foreign press reports the authors of this plan, which is directly aimed
at actually splitting the island and liquidating Cyprus as an independent state, have
not stopped at this. As already stated, appeals are being made for the final separa-
tion of the "Turkish Cypriot state" and for the proclamation of its "independence."
Such a statement was made by R. Denktash, leader of Cyprus' Turkish community, on his
arrival in Ankara following the breakdown of the fourth round of intercommunal talks.
This statement and certain specific actions which followed it have aroused a sense of
well-founded alarm on Cyprus. It is not merely that these plans fundamentally contra-
dict the UN Security Council decisions aimed at insuring the sovereignty, independence
and territorial integrity of Cyprus and the immediate withdrawal of foreign troops and
at affording Cypriots themselves the opportunity to resolve questions of their country
internal structure.
The majority of Cypriots saw the arguments about "proclaiming the independence" of a
separate Turkish state formation on Cyprus merely as new confirmation that certain
circles in the West and their confederates on the island have not only not abandoned
their plans for partitioning Cyprus but have also taken one more step toward this goal.

IZVESTIYA REPORTS BAHRAIN-U.S. BASE CONFLICT
Moscow IZVESTIYA in Russian I Oct 75 Morning Edition p 2 LD
["Press service" report: "Rejecting a Dangerous Presence"]
Fl
[Text] September 30--Bahrain has officially asked [predlohil] the United States to
annul the 1971 agreement granting the former British naval base at Jufair to the
U.S. Navy, the Beirut newspaper AL ANWAR reported a few days ago. This report con-
firms the recent statement by the Bahraini foreign minister to the Iranian newspaper
KAYHAN that his country intends to announce a date for the closure of this base.
Although Bahrain does not possess large oil reserves in comparison with neighbor-
ing states, its strategic position--which enables it to control the Persian Gulf
region--has always given it special significance in the plans of U.S. imperialism.
The bases at Jufair, on the island of Al Masirah off the coast of Oman and on the
island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean should, according to the Pentagon
strategists' plans, insure the oil route from the Persian Gulf and serve as a mailed
fist in the event of "extraordinary circumstances" unfavorable to the United States
arising in this region.
The People of Bahrain and other Arab countries have supported and now support the
liquidation of the U.S. military presence on the Bahrain archipelago. During the
Arab-Israeli war in October 1973, Bahrain, taking the United States' pro-Israeli
stance into consideration informed Washington of the cessation of the agreement's
validity. The Pentagon, however, then succeeded in remaining at Jufair. In August
this year, the Bahraini National Assembly spoke out against the extension of this
agreement.

building industrial _projects. A contract, signed in_llim_inas,t4 and-WO;IAIng for the
re11ryloCus---of equipMent for tie construction of sulphuric and phosphorous acid
_
-plants, can be regarded as a first step in this direction.

The Soviet Union also helps Cyprus in training national personnel. The,AzEcspAaP_Aup94
provides for further cooperatioxiin_indeptTial_and technical training- An exchange of
e?,lioences knowhow is-aiso-envisaged.
Trade between the two countries is steadily expanding. Whereas it was 12.7 million
rubles worth in 1973, the figure for 1974 was already 19.8 million rubles. The soviet
Union exports to Cyprus road-building machinery, lorries and motorcars, machinetools,
rolled ferrous metal and sawn timber.
Cyprus reciprocates by shipping to the USSR staple exports: citrus fruits, raisins,
fruit juices, etc.
The Republic of Cyprus is now living through one of the most difficult moments in its
history. The artificial dismemberment of the country, the problem of refugees, the
economic difficulties, the presence of foreign troops and war bases on the island--these
are the conditions in which the people of Cyprus must live and fight.
The Soviet Union has always expressed its willingness to render economic and political
support to Cyprus and proves this by deeds. The Soviet Union comes out in defence of
the independence and territorial integrity of the vepublic, for the withdrawal of all
foreign troops from the island and the settlement of the internal affairs of the state
by the two communities themselves.
GREECE WOULD PROFIT IN SOCIALIST STATES TRADE
Moscow PRAVDA in Russian 17 Sep 75 p 5 LD
[Correspondent V. Drobkov dispatch: "Opportunities Being Rentealedu]
[Text] Athens--One of the most dangerous items for the future of Greece in the
sick legacy left to Greece by the military-dictatorship which became bankrupt a year
ago, was the deep crisis into which "black colonels and generals had led the Greek
economy. The 7 years during which the dictators bossed the show for Greece proved to
be an almost total subordination of leading sectors of the national economy to a group of
international monopolies, unprecedented squandering of state assets and of the country's
resources, a trade deficit in excess of $4.5 billion, and fantastic rates of inflation.

SALISBURY'S ALLEGATIONS OF TERROR
Moscow in English to Africa 1830 GMT 19 May 75 LD
Aleksandr Fedorov commentary
[Text] There seems to be a very strange logic in the actions of the authorities in
Salisbury. Before each political campaign, they as a rule tell frightening stories
about the terrorism of the guerrillas and that is immediately followed with boastful
statements about the peace-making gestures of the Smith cabinet. Just recently,a
spokesman of the cabinet again mentioned an alleged campaign of terror, assassina-
tions, fires, attacks and intimidations on the part of the guerrillas. The only
concrete thing about those charges was the statement that all this is happening in
so-called certain remote African villages, and hardly anyone is likely to check up
an those facts and even on the figures that were cited.
