The Communist bookstores, Editorial. Austral and Libreria Nueva Americas
refused representation in Mile for the publication El Movimiento Sindical
Mundia3. Because of the difficulties of bringing magazines into the country
or.sa e, the bookstores prefer to save their foreign exchange for the
importation of books. !oreover, the price of this publication (U.S. twenty
cents)!.i"t oisided too high for the Chilean worker. The Communists believe
that the magazine should sell for ten Chilean pesos (about seven cents) and
should be sold by individual subscriptions. The magazine is published every
two weeks at Plaza de la Republica 6, Mexico, D.F.
2. The magazine, URSS, published by the Soviet Legation in Montevideo, is for-
warded in large quantities to Santiago. Local Communists, however, find it
of little interest, because its content is extremely old and is based on
official. notices of the Soviet Government, many of which appear months
earlier in the local Communist publications, E_l_S~igl_o_ and Nuestro Tierr o.
The magazine, URSS is sent to Chile bearing the stamp, Impreso en Uruguay.,
and Editorial Austral handles the distribution to subscribers. No special
import license is required, as magazine subscriptions are subject only to
postal laws.
