CHILE: Relations are worsening between Presi-
dent Allende and the powerful Communist Party, until
now his most reliable support.
Communist leaders' irritation at Allende is not
new, but it has recently reached serious proportions
over several events, F- I
The Communists resent the president's tai ure to
consult the UP on his recent appointment of an army
general to the cabinet, although they approve the
minister's qualifications. They are also galled by
Allende's persistent overtures to the extremist
Movement of the Revolutionary Left (MIR) to join
the UP even though it is challenging UP candidates
and policies in vital political arenas including
labor, the university, and propaganda.
Reflecting their close ties to Moscow, Commu-
nist leaders reportedly castigated Allende's speech
to the current UNCTAD meeting in Santiago as weak,
especially because he failed to mention the finan-
cial support to his government from Communist coun-
tries. Since the chief Communist tactic for con-
solidating UP power is the rapid extension of eco-
nomic control, the party is impatient with the pres-
ident's delay in imposing the nationalization pro-
gram in the face of opposition legislation. This
is the first strong indication that the Chilean
Communists, although they prefer a gradualist strat-
egy, may be-finding serious flaws in Allende's ex-
ecution of the UP program to build a socialist state.
