< NOT PASS! ‘pee a ae M a Some people are entirely mistaken they believe that transitory weak- esses in the popular movement indi- te that they have fertile soil for the sonsummation of their plans. | To achieve their anti-patriotic: ob- Ctives it is necessary to divide and onfuse the people. However in Chile * is no longer possible to set Catholic ainst non-Catholic or Marxist. The eople will soon realize how to close P every fissure. In spite of ideological and religious ifferences, including the politictal Be epancies that exist between the Overnment and democratic sectors of € opposition, the people are and will emain united in the preservation of eir liberties and in the desire to make rofound changes and to march to- wards socialism under the banner of € constitution and of present laws or ae which the country is going to btain. ; 3 a * The people understand that there Mare difficulties, and in the first place ifficulties in the food supply, espe- tially in meat products. But they re- ae that this is above all the heritage t re past. Not so many years ago a. ile was a major cattle-raising coun- ; y, as well as a large wheat producer. f ' lost these positions under the & of the oligarchy. Today we have € same number of cattle as there vere 40 years ago, while the popula- ion has doubled. Periods where there pas no meat for the majority of Chil- prs occurred under the bourgeois gov- ramen. Under the Popular Unity gov- nment the consumption of meat has Ncreased. Today hundreds of. thou- pads of people on modest incomes, oe eetetday could not even buy ; Ree an eat proper meat at little Biber are also deficiencies in carry- F he out our responsibilities, and one of ee the weakness with which we ao e faced the resistance of the enemy. } weve the incidents of the last few sf oe are a lesson that we all must arti, We are certain that the united nd rere of Popular Unity and the Gov- : Tene? headed by comrade Salvador all €, are going to more energetic- a i and decisively confront the ful- ment of the tasks of the Chilean re- t alution; There are now forces avail- € to continue going forward with the policies of nationalization of the large industrial and commercial mono- polies. And we are certain that we can achieve the necessary forces to also make effective institutional transfor- mations. The spirit that reigns in the Govern- ment, demonstrated by the President of the Republic and all the parties of the Popular Unity, is to go on the of- fensive. All initiatives leading to this objective must be put into action in every sphere of the political activity of the Government. - The spirit of struggle shines out in the popular masses. And this combat- ive spirit will express itself by striking out at those who have to be struck: the imperialists, the monopolists and the big speculators. The working class and people of Chile are not prepared to allow fas- cist bands to return to the streets. We will not permit another demonstration like the one on Wednesday. These are not mere words. This is the will of millions of men and women of our country, a will that the 150,000 mem- bers of our Party and the 50,000 Young Communists share completely. Each people’s detachment must be resolved to fulfil its obligation. As for ourselves, Communists, we can’ say to the country that today, just as in other moments of trial in the history of our country, we will carry on precisely as Communists, faithful to the cause of our people, faithful to the revolution- ary tradition of Recarbarren and Lafferte. During the upcoming days we will initiate numerous activities through- out the breadth of our country so that our entire people are prepared for com- bat, ready to make whatever sacrifice is necessary for the cause of Chile. We resolutely support the appeals of the United Confederation of Labor and _ of Popular Unity that every worksite and sector of the population raise the powerful voice of the people against the sinister plans of the ultra-right Each trade union, each federation, must speak out and mobilize its mem- bers in order to alter the present situ- ation and to create all those conditions that will allow us to go on the offen- sive on each and every front.
