~Giovaani Russo dispatch: "Acn Evening in Mickiewicz Street"]
[Excerpts] Wareaw-='Wt?y does the governmenC tolerat~e the opposition's -
activity?" Jacek Kuron had a k3nd of laughing~fit: "A ~ournaliet from ~
LE MONDE aeked me that 2 montha ago aud I told him that it ie not the ~
government that is tolerating the opposition, but the opposition thaC ie
tolerating the government. It wae a paradox~ however, which the Journal-
iat took literally. In fact there ie eome truth ~n my reply. The gover~-
mant could eliminate the opposition, which here ie an organized aad large-
ecale movement~ albett etill a vanguard ona, which manifeste itse].f in ,
very ramified legal and illegal forme~ but it aould have to arreet at
least 4,000-5,000 of the moat famoue intellactuale aad artists, etudents
and workere. It is simplq too weak to be able to permiC itself to do eo."
"For several monthe," Kuron said, "I have been continuouslq followed by ~
two plainclothes policemea and every night, even now, two police cars
are parked on eitiher aide of the road where I live, but only until the
morning. The telephone suddealy developed a fault 3 daqs before the
pope's arrival: somebody came and pulled out the wi:ee. Of couree it
wae the police."
Kuron showed me the latest isaue oE the KSS "KrOR" COIrII~iUNIQUE and the
monthly NEWS BUI.LETIN, conaieting of some 40 duplicated pagee. It ie
the paper which publishes information aad documents on the economic,
social and pol{tical aituation and of which they print 6,000 copies,
~ut ah:tch haa a much greater circulation. "In Poland Che ecoaomic
crisis ia profound (there is a$16 billioa deficit with the West), the
plaa ie not working, agriculture ie ia a catastrophic state and there
is a shcrCage of essential medicinea. Thie ie one of our worat moments.

Adam Michnik and Barbara C., who io editor of the litierary magazine -
ZAPIS, to which tha best known wriCere (Woroszyleki~ Bocheneki, Kazimierz
Brandys and Baranczak) contribute, confirmed these a~sessmenCa.
"Ie is g mietake on the Weet's parC~" Michnik eaid~ "to confuee Che
albeiC imporCant phenomena of dissidence in ~he USSR and the other
Eastern bloc countries with what happens in Poland. Here it is now an
opposiCion movement cenCered on the Workers' Defense Committiee. And it
en~oys grer~C suppore among the population."
"Kuron is ri~he," Michnik observed. "The government could eliminate the
opposition onl~ by meana of many arresCs; but thP need to maintain good -
relations with the United ~tatea and the fear of a acandal in Che Weet
prevents iC from moving on Co repreeeion--aparC from the fear of an
explosion, which the USSR wante to avoid at all coate in Poland. The
exieCence of an opposition linked to such a etrong church explains why
the party was unable to ban the pope's visiC. But everything can be
explained by the weakness of the leadership group within the party and
the government. The leaderahip group is experieacing ita graveat criais
eince 5talin's era: it cannot carry out repression, but neither can it
carry out the reforms which would be the only way to prevent economic
dieasrer. The tragedy for those in power is that the price of reforms
is a drop in living standards, a price which, in polit:ical terms, Chey
are not in a poaition to pay."
One person who does rule out any changes in the leaderahip, howaver, ia
an inte].lectual, an influential partiy member. His opinion is shared,
moreover, by the Catholic opposition, if that is the right name for Che
intellectuals aad groups centered on the ~ournals ZNAR (THE MARK) and
WIEZ (THE LINK), albeit for different motivea. He spoke to me with a
disconcerting aincerity, which revealed both the identity criais being
experienced by many co~nuaista and the ehock caused by Karol Wo~tyla's
8 days in Poland.
"Gierek will etay," he s~id. "Before Brezhnev dies, noChing can change
in the party, becauae we have to wait and aee what happene in Moscow.
Even with Brezhnev as ill as he is, nothing can change in the Soviet
party, because they do not know how to replace him without upeetting -
their internal balances. Our leaderahip group is very weak and isolated~
and partly corrupt as well. Power vithout control (here it ie Che party
which directly governe the'etate) i.s more damaging than power ov~er which
there is some f.orm of conCrol. But we have no alternative. Wyszyaski
knowe that Gierek is the beat poesible thing for the Polieh church and
the pope knowe thia too (he is a stubborn raan, but also a great diplomat).
He has goae, but we remain herewith a population dieaatiefied above all
with the economic coaditiona. Not all Poles are rational when it comes
to the USSR ~ad John Paul YI did well to eay a few good worda about them
[presumably the Sovieta] too at Auachwitz. The pope has left, but we ~
remain here to safeguard our cultural and geographical entity. We must

- accept the reality: We mueti keep the Soviat so~.di.ere, and anoCher
Czechoelovakia would be a dieaeter Chat noC even the US3R wante~ and -
indeed greatly fegre." In a eurge of confidence~ my interlocutor con-
tinued: "In trie eocialiet countri4e there ie a profound ecanomic and ~
social crieie~ but Pol.and ie the moet seriouely ill because the con-
tradictione are more grave and eeneatiional between the indusCrigl
developmenC which hao been the greaCest in the Eastern bloc and the
traneformationa in economic and social life. The ecoaomic mAChinery
has becoma very? complex and the old po].i~ical and adminietrative etruc-
tures do not s~and up. Tha level of production ie low and we cannot
manage to make the workers work. We do noC know how to find a way out
~ of thie. Then there is a ma~or ideological crisis. Tt is a wheal which
turna in a vacuum, with rules belied by everyday life. 'War coummuniem,'
' which could have suited Lenin's or Sta11n's timea, ie atill being imple-
mented. Fine-sounding expresaions are merely repeated, without people
, believing in them."
"People are dissatiafied," my interlocutor continued, "because they have
to sCand iii lines for hours, sometimea from 0400 hours, to buy a 1itCle
meat. But if we incsease prices there wi11 be a general etrike a~d Che
governmenr will collapse. We have already seen thie in 1956 and 1970."
- And indeed when the pope was in Poland~ the following ~oke was current:
"Now th'e Poles will find more msat, because tihe Ruseians do not eat meat
rhat has been bleased." xut let us return to the communist intellectual's
confeseions: "Now there will be calm for a few months~ nobody will con-
cern themselves with prices and the growing inflation. Everyone will
have to absorb the effects of the pope's vieit. But the problem haa ~
become more s~rious. Now the government is ev~an weaker toward the church
and the people. The working class already knew that it was atrong after
the auccesa of its strikea. Now the others have alao realized that they
are a force, that they are the majoriCy, and they will try to exert
prassure to take every opportunity to wrest aomething more from the
state. The party can make few concesaiona, however, and muat stay in
power, otherwise there will be a C2echot~lc~vakia-type disaster."
WIEZ sel?.e 7,000 copies and, if there were no reetrictions on paper, it
could sell at least four timea as many. Ita:editor, Tadeusz Macowiecki~
is the Polish Nicola Chiaromonte, with the s~me moral inteneity, the
same cultural and civil rigor. It ia ~ spiri~ual aimilarity which
strikes me. His face looks pained snd severe. "For Europe," he said,
"Poland is like the far aide of the moon." [Quotation marks here and
at end of next graf as published] Since John Paul II's visit something
has profoundly changed, so that our nresent destiny, together with our
historical destiny, has become part a� the shared destiny of mankind.
Do not expect everything to change politically here. That is an
irresponaible furecast. It is true, however, that thQ political leader-
ship knows thaC the result Af this visit will strengthen society and not
the leaderahip. Society's energy has be~x? ~normously re~rived. _

A hopeless apaehy has 'been broken. I~ is noC a mattar of mak3ng Che
oppoaition groupa more radical, but of increasing social pressure: only
Chue will there be any xeal changes. People have become aware of their
own moral srrength. We do noC want to provoke a Soviet intervenCion,
neither do we want Chings to stay as Chey are. Only by meane of preseure
from society car~ we change the siCuaCion without provoking a dis~ater.
Following the pope's visit, every Pole reallzes that he can epeak ouC ~
~nd speak out without fear. The inviCation to the pope was not a vic-
tory for a].iberal seance wiChin Che government, but for the etrengCh of
socisty. It was an event which wi11 influen~e the enCire social3st camp.
BuC the chs~rch is serong because it is itself an elem~nt in thie social
presaure. It fs a very long and very difficult process and there will
be a long march. So believe us, we are a r~sponaible, mature nation~
not etupid, which has had many tragic ex~eriencea but wh~.ch will never
abandon Che testimony of iCs own hope."

CEAUSESCU FAMILY MISADVENTURES IN SPAIN REPORTED
Madrid CAMBIO 16 in Spanish 17 Jun 79 pp 31-41
[Text] MUNDO OBRERO, the official organ of the Spanish Communist Party~ '
has accused the Spanish press of insulting Nicolae Ceausescu, Romanian
chief of state:
~ Ceauseacu, who was the official gueat of Spain for five interminable days
deapiCe the continuoua rudenese he diaplayed, is ona of the protectora of
Santiago Carrillo, secretary general of the PCE, to whom the r~cently
- legalized party gave a 1940 Cadillac which he had to abandon becauee of the
old vehicle's constant breakdowns.
According to the official organ of the Communist Party, "i.n Madrid, the
fawning newamen who talk like fiahwives davoted themselvea to ineult-
ing a foreign chief~of state because neither he nor hia wife sub~ected them-
selves to,the hypocrisy and abaurditiea of the anachronistic Suarea ~l'nlo-
macy or the medieval customs of diplotaatic protocol."
, CAMBIO 16, which followed in detail the dazzling vi~it of Nicolae Ceausescu
Dada Ceausescu, according to certain foxeign miniatriea has been able
- to reconstruct what was the firet visit to Spain by a leader from the East.
The first "sCation of the cross began long before the arrival of comrade
Ceauaescu, when a number of officials from the Romanian security aervicea
requested entry visas, atating that they were engineers and not membera of
the police force. Howev~~r, they were engineers who gradually wor::ed their
way into the entourage and made it a habit to ask for anything they wanted
because otherwise, the comrade president might grow angry and when a leader
from the East grows angry....
The second "station" c~n the long path of the cross was the eve of hia arrival
~rirh the~outright order that several suites at the Ritz Hotel had Co be
reserved in case the official residence the Vereaillea-like Aranjuez
Palace that had been requested by the president himaelf should not be to
the liking of Ceauaescu and his enCourage.

P~?lure Layout ~
The third eCatinn inv~~lved Che Spanish Security Se:vices when ehey realized
ChaC the greatest in~erest of the Roman3ans 1ay in photographing everything,
probably as a service to a third country whoae identity it was not difficult
to guees.
In Cheir obseseion wiCh obtaining information, they even asked for details
on Che security syeCem of Zarzuela Palace, the residence of the King, saying
that they wou18 like Co have a ema11 drawing of the layout.
At Moncloa Palace, they wanted,to know who tasted the food of the head of
Che governmenr. With more irritaCion than wit, Adolfo Suarez replied thaC
it was the King. "
The answer musC not have been very convincing, for aC lunch the next day,
Ceausescu did not eat a biCe. However, he made up for iC when he arrived
- at Aranjuez Palace, ordering that he be served a complete lunch even though
it was after 4:30 in the afternoon.
The Romanians brought their own telephone centra2 and operator but they still
Cried to stick their nosea into communicationa at the Bara~as airport. At any
rate, the warnings and clarifications of Spaniah security officials and dip-
lomats from the Minietry of Foreign Affaira went unheeded, Quite attentive,
they would tell everyone that they underetood, but as soon as they could, re-
turned to what they were doing.
For the white-tie dinner, they absolutely ref uaed to wear formal evening
dress and blatanCly forgetting the customa of all international diplomacy,
_ refused to give a diriner in return. Naturally, Manuel Fraga took advantage
of the Romanian move and also�wore a dark suit to the Palace. The spectacle
at the Royal Palace was a aight to behold: Half of the gueste were in tails
and bedecked with medals, while the other half were wearing plain atreet
clothes.
That night or rather, in the Wee houra of the morning the Romanian
gueats at Aran~uez Palace gave the cook the fright of her life when the
president's security guards went to ask for meat and ham and cheeee sand-
wiches. A whole squad of agents with radioa closely followed the gastronomic
undertaking while keeping one another up to the minute on work in the kikchen.
Service for Everything
The Palace administrator could not get over his aatonishment, but the aston-
ishment soon turned into terror. Hours after he thought that the nightmare
had ended, he was calmly walking down the corridor of the presidential
suites in order to aee that everything waa in order when, as he recalls,
he was suddenly thrown to the floor with an expert'~udo move. Thereafter,
not even the servants dared to walk through the halls. The Romanians them-
selves took care of the rooms. ~ '

Fiowever, nne of the most dramatic moments of the "Calvary-like" v~.si~ was
during the scheduled trip Co the Prado Muaeum. The 111ustrious gueat,
bored with tihe E1 Grecos and Goyas, dec~.ded after 20 minutes thati he had
had enough paintinge and that he had to go Co Moncloa. UnAwara of ~he
preaident's haete and with 40 minute~ of the tour yee Co ga, the director
of the museum tried in vain to expl~in hues and meaning. Ceausescu did not
even stop befa~e Che canvases.
The Romanian was in such a hurry that when he arrived at Moncloa Palace,
iC atill looked like a deaert. Since there was uo one aC the daor to receive
him, an usher had to take him into the reception room. In view of the ueher's
concern, no one even we:.ced to sit down and the atmosphere was not relieved
of iCs tension unCil a smiling and canciliating Suarez appeared. ~
Mystery at Moncloa
And yet, incredible thinga were hr~ppening at Moncloa Palace. WhiXe in the -
Council of Ministers' chambers comrade Ceausescu droned on and on about
national independence and the equality of nations, the oCher Romanians fi11-
ing the other rooma of the palace shut themselvee up two by two and went at
iC tooth and nail. At the same time, two security officials, dauntlese of.
face and carrying their own black equare bags, were seated on a bench right
aC the very door of the roor.ti where the official talks were going on. When
Che officials~refused Co give up their privileged place, Spanieh security
officers decided to counter the atCempts of the Eastern officials. ,
In the end, it would appear tihat they decided tc: "comb" the area in order
to ascertain whether anyone had "forgorten" anything.
That night, everyChing was nearly norma]. at Aranjuez except for the fact
that Santiago Carrillo and Duran Farrel were summoned at Che same time (the
~one who waited was Santiago Carrillo, naturally) and there were proteata
' over the noise that a train whistle made as it went from the atation to the
Spanish capital. ~
Valencia was a tragicomedy. To begin with, the band played~the old Romanian
national anr.hem. Moving right along, after the visit to the city hall and
in view of an obvious desire to go shopping, Che mayor inaisted that the
president's wife should go to the Corte Ingles and practically did not allow -
her to get into the presidential car. In the midst of the greateat confusion,
it was finally realized that the Corte Ingles visit had only been planned a
half hour previously and thaC at the lasC minute, the president's wife had
decided to accompany him.
~t the Lois Faecory where blue~eans are made; the guesCs were ocfered a glas~
of orange juic:e, but Ceausescu waved his hand and a~faithful servant ~cting
as both a lackey and bootblack brought out his own lemonade. ~The ~entle-
man guesC had his drink and there was none for anyone else.

The Firar Lady (who is tl~e second xanking official in Che hierarchy af Clie
Romanian Communisti Party) soon decided that she wanted Co go to the beach.
IC Cook a great deal of paCience and arCfulnesa.to convince her ~hat the:
~ beachea of Valencia were very far away and that it was not worth the troub~.e.
Upon leaving the helicopter ehat Cook Chem to Sagunto, the f aiChful aervnnt:
playing the double role of valet and bootblack eaw with horror that hie
master's shoes were dusty, and to Che astonishment of Che A.dmini~traCi~re
Council, which was moving towurd Che plane to extend a smiling greeting to
Che visitors, he kne1C down at the president's feet. Whipping a handker-
chief ou.t of his bre~st pocket, he cleaned them 11ke a profeeaional.
To put a finishing touch on Che swel tering day, at a luncheon given at a
hotel on Che ouCskirts of the ciCy~ the security forces wuuld not a11ow air
conditioning to be used. No one ahould have been surprised that the presi-
denC availed himaelf of the opporruniCy to leave suddenly, postponing Che
coffee, after-dinner drink and cigar for another time.
Toledo was a complete disasrer. The Cour of the city began aC the cathedral.
The president seemed Co be in another world when suddenly, upnn getCing out
of his car, he found himself face to �ace wiCh two actual medievril churchmen
in red robes and white lace, their caps on their heads, who greeted him ef-
fusively, despitie his sleepy look. To give him ti.me to compose himself,
~ they introduced him into the sacristy. But Roman vengeance was noC long
in coming. On].y a few minutea later, the Romanian president decided to
cut the viait ahort when Che bewildered guide was explaining Che delicious
nuances of "The Burial of Count Orgaz," which is a marvel of.... It was
a little after seven. In a quick conspiratorial meeting between the civilian
governor, Che mayor and other Spanish officials, it was decided that they
would have to fi11 up time until nine, the hour appointed for the official
dinner at Fuensalida. ' -
There then began a frantic mobilization of Spanish imagination in order to
mark time. The president was taken to a handicrafts workshop in Toledo,
two stops were made at the synagogue, he was taken aro~nd the city, the
monumente were praised.
Finally, the party went up to the room where the president carefully washed
his hands, but in a few seconds, he was already at the reception. In a
moment of supreme inspiraCion, someone showed him how to put together and
take apart the Cetme of one of the civilian guard escorts. The civilian
governor then took the bull by the horns and told him that they could not
leave there before 8:45. But what a'miracle! Ceausescu smiled, tamed down
and to the great horror of some and the surprise of others, asked for two -
beers and a piece of freshly fried sauaage.
At one minute before nine, they arrived at Fuensalida. Manuel Clavero,
minister of culture, arrived 3ust in time, managing to save a presidential
table which would have had to be changed if he had arrived seconds later.

the Moncloa affair.
No one knew anyttiing and the Romanians began to issue threate: If there
was no meeCi~g, there would be no press conference. The telephone c~lls and
Cension continued un~il the next day at 9:30 in Che morning.
Aixplanes
On the following day, as if it were the finishing Gouch, a phone cfl 11 during
the visit ro the Aeronautical Construction Company announced Chat there wae
a bomb in Che plant. 7'he Spanish security agents went into a cold sweat
trying to deceive Ceausescu. However, the president had Caken a liking Co
the planes and was en3oying himself more here than while taking in the
paintings at the Prado. He calmly said that there was no hurry. When he
was finally sneaked aboard a helicopter for Zarzuela Palace, everyone heaved
a eigh of relief.
A separate chapter shou.ld be devoted to Nicolae Ceausescu, Jr., the third-
ranki.ng individual on tt~e proCocol list and Che top man with respect to a
lack of up'.,ringing and manners. Su~fice it Co say that at the Palace dinner,
while seaCed between Amparo Illana, wife of Prime Minister Suarez, arid
Silvia Arburua, wife of Marcelino Ore~a, he refused Co converse with them
and spent his time looking at Che ceiling and whisCling. A serious incident
nearly took place when rhe young Ceausescu, head of the Communist Youth in
his country, began to make jocular, disagreeable remarks abouC Spaniah pro-
tocol in the presence of several Spanish officials.
In short, when comrade Ceausescu finally took off for lovely Bucharest, the
entire country could relax at last, except for the MUNDO OBRERO staff,
which appears to be enchanted by the coarse manners of the East.

Oc~ this occasion ARMEES D'AUHOURD'HUI is publiehing for its readers an
article by Col Dusan Jankovic, who examiries the organization of the armed
forces of Che Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY].
_ Aa the ~oint tactical exercise "Golija 76" was ending~ a group of foreign ~
military obaervers arrived at the positions located near the village of
Orlovi. Just then one platoon of soldiere was preparing f~r combat againat
the "blues" who were expected to appear aC any momenC�
"Our plaCoan~ with 276 rifles. 5 machineguns and 20 antitank grenade launchers,
from this slope has to stop the battalion of 'blues'," announced the commander
quietly to his soldiers.
When these words w~re translated, one foreign iailitary observer asked in ~
amazement: How can that be? ThirCy aoldiers and approximately 300 weapona.
Is it a miatalce? An extra zero?
People Armed Equals Triple Military~Strengti~
This "error" in~calculaCion was quickly explained. The platoon leader in
estimating his forces did not use the classic formula. If he had~ he would
~ only have had 30 weapons~ which would hardly be likely to stop a battalion.
However, he included all the forcea in the area, in other w~ords the 300 .
armed villagers, in his combat force. This is what really happened. When
the battle began, the soldiers of the regional units~ the partisana and the
guards were in the trenches near the village, side by side with the soldiers
of the etanding arc~y~ and they all defended the village of Orlovi.

concept would double its military forces. Thig opCimietic prediction has
even today been gurpasged: the number o� people carrying weapone ie three
time~ larger.
A Modern Arnry
'The gC~nding army and the Cerritorial def~nsp comprise ehe Yugoslav armed
forces. Their toCal strengCh in peace time has noCbeen a m1liCary secret
for a long time: in and outside the barracks, there are approximately 2
million soldiers bearing arms. In gccordance with the principle "each
citizen a goldier," approximately 1 million riflea have been dieCribuCed
to the people in the last few yeara. This could only be done in a counCry
whose political syetem enaures that the weapone in the hands of the citizens
will be uaed only for the country's defense.
Of the smaller complement of these armed forcea, let us eay approximately
one man in eight is in the barracks. The soldiers in the operational unite
Eorm the backbone and the permanent element in the general popular defenae.
Although small in number in peace time~ the Yugoslav People's Army becauae
of its tota~ striking force is classed as a modern European army.
Currently, it is implementing an accelerated modernization plan, carried
out on the basis of the 5-year plan (1975-1980). At the end of this period
(in other words, next~year) the total fire power will be consid~rably in-
creased and will be largely based on the country's armamenta and t~chnical
means of production (80 percent of the total armamenC). Our military in-
dustry can produce armaments and equip an infantry division from the semi-
automaCic rifle to the 203mm howitzer. In addition, we also produce more
complex technical equipment, such as the "Orao"-model plane, the "Oranj"
multi-tube rocket launchers, submarines, rocket-launcher boats, armored
vehicles, etc.
Within the framework of modernizing the army, special effort is being made
to improve the anti-aircraft defense system, antitank defense, and defense
against air- or sea-borne units.
Millions of Soldiers Without Barracks
The territorial defense is several times larger than the standing army.
It is calle~ "the army without barracks," and in its ranks are more than

nec~~sbry wegpons and equipment in their homes. A11 Yugoslgvia is "covered"
by echelons of thia civilian army. The Cerritorial uniCa are no longer
"ord3nary infantry" equipped with riflee and light weapons, they also have
artillery, boeCg, nnd even planes (it could be said Chat the aircrafC ChaC
they have are not less in number than thoae of Che air forc~). The striking
fnrce of rheee companieg and battalions ig cnnsiderable. For example, the
antitank forces of the communes (500 in number) can sur.ceasfully oppose
several thousand tanks. Another "element" mueC be added Co this appraisal:
if each soldier in Cerritorial defense carried an antitank mine in his
pack (and it takes 500 mines to destroy a tank), four armored divisions
would be disabled.
The armed forces are the backbone of the Yugoslav defensive strategy whose
foundations were laid during the war of national liberation from 1941 to
1945. This concepC of general, popular defense, named "hedgehog atrategy"
by iCs creator, Marshal Tito, means preparing the entire society for battle.
In war time, the whole country would become a military camp, in which more
than 13 million adult citizens, organized in military unita would oppose
the aggressor by armed struggle and other means. For this reason, right
now in peace time the entire population is in training according to plans
Co be in a poaition to carry out war duties.
For some years, in the Socialist Republic of Croatia, an exerciae called
"Nothing Ca~ Surprise Us" has been held in which, for example, last year
3 million citizens between the ages of 10 and 70 participated. Whole
regions, citiea and villages took part in Chis "battle" and each partici-
pant contributed Co the defense effort--fighting, putting out �ires, trans-
porting the wounded, repairing tanks, putCing up posters, digging trenches,
etc. Similar exercises to determine the people's combat readiness are also '
being held in the other republics.
The War Plan Is Not a Military Secret
In recent years, armed forces traf:iing has gone beyond the conventional
military games. Each autumn, when the army's combat readinesa is tested,
various institutions participate in the joint exercise. In addition, to
standing army and territorial units, the security orgar?izations, civil
defense, communal assemblies, socio-political organizations and the economy
also carry out various duties. The "Golija 76" ~oint tactical exercise in
which about 10 communes took part demonstrated that the readiness of the
"armed people" could be verified. It was an "image of war" in which all
