ARGENTINA
Indications of dta'atisfaction in the
Argentine military with President Videla
are becoming more frequent, but there is
as yet no indication of a concerted effort
to replace him.
Much of the criticism of the President
is probably little more than routine carp-
ing. Some, however, reflects a fun-
damental difference with his approach to
governing, especially his failure to take a
much tougher line on a broad front of
national problems.
The hard-liners' basic criticism is that
Videla has not moved strongly enough
against the politicians and labor leaders
they blame for bringing Argentina to
economic and political chaos. In effect,
they are calling for a political system in
which most, if not all, civilians would be
denied a substantial voice in government.
The hard-liners do not predominate in
any one of the services, but some occupy
key positions and could complicate life for
the President. Some indeed are already
causing problems. The vigilante-style tac-
tics being employed against known and
suspected leftists are widely thought to be
the work of impatient security and police
officers unhappy with Videla's gradualist
approach. Some high officials probably
sympathize with the tRctics.
