ARGENTINA
Hard-line Argentine military officers are trying to
force resident Videla to take a tougher stand on subversion
and a variety of other issues. This could confront Videla with
serious human rights problems and divisions within the military.
Videla and advisers who share his moderate and methodi-
cal approach toward national reform are trying to curb the arbi-
trary arrests by police and armed forces security services, com-
pile a list of those detained, and halt vigilante-style activi-
ties against suspected and known leftists by semiofficial death
squads.
//Some of Videla's subordinates also are attempting
to work with Peronist labor and political leaders in the hope

of eventually building a base of popular support for the mili-
tary government. To accomplish this they reportedly believe that
government economic policies will have to become more "populist"
in orientation and provide for a more equitable distribution of
wealth.//
Hard-liners opposed to these and other government pro-
posals--ranging from ambassadorial appointments to revising for-
eign investment laws--include a number of high-ranking army
officers who have a sympathetic junta member in Admiral Emilio
Massera.
//Massera and his army colleagues do not appear
bent on ousting Videla as President, but rather are determined
to force moderates out of the President's circle of advisers.//
Only then, they apparently reason, can the government impose
discipline on the labor force, destroy the influence of corrupt
and irresponsible politicians, and eliminate the well-entrenched
leftists.
The junta's image is already suffering from its ina-
bility to control right-wing terrorism. Moreover, labor and po-
litical leaders are increasingly concerned about Videla's ina-
bility to enforce the moderate line he promised on taking office.
