~ CIA behind right-wing
coup attempt in Chile

SANTIAGO (APN)—An anti-
government plot has been un-
‘covered in Chile. Its particip-
ants, members of the right-wing
fascist organization Partia y
Libertad planned, according to
Interior Minister Ernan Del
Canto, to assassinate President
Salvador Allende with the aim
of creating in the country a
situation favorable to a coup qd’
état and to the elimination of
the constitutional government
of left-wing parties and move-
ments.

The conspiracy disclosed in
Chile is the direct result of an
anti - government campaign
launched by the reactionary
forces after the Popular Unity
government came to power in
1970. At -first the reactionaries
sought’ to create economic
chaos, to bring the country to
the verge of an economic dis-
aster and then accuse the gov-
ernment of inability to run the
state, thus compelling it to
abandon the policy of broad
social and economic changes in
the interests of the wide masses
of the people. However, their
calculations fell through. Indus-
trial production has _ steadily
grown, and the country’s eco-

nomic position has become ever

more stable.

Then the parliamentary oppo-

sition raised a provocative bal-
lyhoo around the progressive
transformations being carried
out by the popular unity block;
“charges” were levelled, for
example, against some leaders
of Chile, with the only purpose
of causing distrust of them on
the part of the Chilean people,
chiefly the workers. But these
designs also failed.

So finally exhausting all
means fitting within the frame-
work of “legality,” Chilean
reaction decided to resort to an
anti-government plot.

‘PACIFIC TRIBUNE—FRIDAY, A

The plotting activity of the
right elements against the pres-
ent government has a long
history. In June of last year ter-
rorists from the banned ultra-
reactionary grouping ‘“Organ-
ized Vanguard of the People”
assassinated Eduard Frey, for-
mer minister of the interior in
the Christian-Democratic gov-
ernment. That served as_ the
signal for reactionaries to put
forward the far-fetched thesis
that all government measures

were allegedly leading to the

creation of an ‘atmosphere of
violence and hatred” in Chile.
Before Salvador Allende be-
came president in the autumn of
1970, the same _ reactionary
forces, led by retired General

Roberto Vio attempted a coup,
killing the army commander
Rene Schneider.

Now documents published by
Jack Anderson in the Washing-
ton Post shed light on the un-
seemly role which was and is

played by the U.S. Central In-:

telligence Agency aimed at
overthrowing the Popular Unity
government.

_ The right-wing forces would
not dare to come out with such
open hostility against the Popu-
lar Unity coalition if it were not
for the moral, financial and pro-
paganda support on the part of
U.S. ruling circles, which are
stubbornly defending the inter-
‘ests of their monopolies whose
positions on the Latin American
continent are becoming increas-
ingly shaky. Striving to regain
its former influence in this part
of the globe, Washington re-
sorts to any methods to achieve
its aims.

The exposure of the CIA’s
subversive activities and the un-
covering of another reactionary
plot in Chile show most obvious-
ly that official Washington con-
tinues to undertake attempts to

overthrow the unsuitable pro-

gressive regimes.

PRIL 7, 1972—PAGE 10

The parliamentarians of both
countries have expfessed satis-
faction over the substantial im-
provement of Canadian-Soviet
relations, particularly as a re-
sult of the visits of the Rt. Hon.
Pierre Elliott Trudeau, Prime
Minister of Canada, to the Sov-
iet Union, and of Mr. A. N.
Kosygin, Chairman of the USSR
Council of Ministers, to Canada.

They noted with satisfaction
the further, development of
trade, economic, scientific and
technical ties between Canada
and the USSR on the basis of
the Agreement on industrial ap-
plication of science and tech-
nology, the General Agreement
on exchanges, and also of the
Canadian-Soviet Protocol on
Consultations, signed in May
1971, and the Communiques is-
sued in May and October 1971
on the visits by Heads of Gov-
ernment of the two countries.
The representatives of both
countries expressed the desire
to widen exchanges and cooper-
ation in the fields of trade, cul-

Speedup takes toll in auto plan

‘By A FORD WORKER
DETROIT, Mich. Auto
workers, eyerywhere, in Gene-
ral Motors,*Ford, Chrysler, the
supplier plants, are watching

the battle of the General Motors .

workers at Lordstown, Ohio,

.against speedup. This struggle

has brought speedup into the
forefront, it’s talked about in
the shops, the lunchrooms, the
-union halls, and every worker is
pulling for the Lordstown work-
ers to win. But let it be said,
little is being done to mobilize

‘the 1144 million United Auto-

mobile Workers Union members
to back the fellow members in
Lordstown.

Instead, like out here at Ford
Rouge, leadership is _ giving
ground to the company, who
grow bolder all the time in their
demands for “productivity,” of
20% more.

Specifically, top. leaders of
Ford Local 600 UAW and inter-
national union representatives
have agreed under threats from
Ford Motor, to cooperate during
the start up of a new line. They
specifically agreed to soft-pedal

‘the Ford production

ture, art, education, sport, tour-
ism, air and sea communica-
tions. .

With stegard to outstanding
international problems the Can-
adian and Soviet representatives
exchanged opinions on ways of
ensuring European security in-
cluding the proposal for a
conference on security and co-
operation in Europe with the
participation of all European
states, Canada and the United
States. They: also discussed dis-
armament questions, including
the mutual reduction of armed
forces and armaments in Eur-
ope, and other internatoinal
problems. :

The parliamentarians of both -

countries have noted that these
discussions have revealed a
large measure of agreement
with regard to the development
of bilateral relations and a-simi-
larity of views with regard to a
number of international prob-
lems.

Guided by an interest in con-
tributing to the development of

the writing of grievances while
drive
cranked up for more output.
Ford had threatened to move
the job out and lay off workers,
unless the soft-pedaling took
place. ;

Ford Facts, published month-
ly for the membership of UAW
Ford Local 600, in its March
issue carries the lead story that
two new lines of cars will be
added to the Dearborn Assem-
bly lines. The paper then calls
attention to the membership
that jobs have been saved by
the company interlacing Comet
and Maverick assemblies on the
same lines that have been pro-
ducing the Mustang and Cougar
—“four different models on one

line.”

What is more curious than
four : different types of cars

- coming down the assembly line

is the statement by the local
union president Walter Dorosh,
that because of the intermix of
models. “that an understanding
between the company and union

_Was essential and necessary.”

; The union, he says, is accept-
ing a proposal of the company
