Chile & Beyond. The earliest ancestors of today's Christian Democrats turned up in Uruguay in 1910, and over the years other parties sprouted-first in Chile, then Venezuela, Brazil, Argentina and on throughout Latin America. In 1947 party delegates met in Montevideo to form a hemisphere-wide confederation. Three years ago, in Santiago, the European and Latin American branches formally joined forces in a Christian Democratic World Union...
Died. Francisco San Tiago Dantas, 52, one of the leftist powers behind Brazil's recently deposed President Joao Goulart, a wealthy corporation lawyer who started out as a conservative but later veered left to latch onto Goulart's rising star, as his Foreign Minister in 1962 authored Brazil's hands-off policy on Castro, as his Finance Minister in 1963 worked the other side of the street by promising economic reforms in return for a U.S. loan, in 1964 was about to be blacklisted by the anti-Communist purgers when they relented because he was so gravely...
Shortly before Chile's presidential elections last week, Salvador Allende, the Marxist candidate, received a "good luck" telegram from Joāo Goulart, the recently deposed far-leftist President of Brazil. That kind of luck was not what Allende needed. In a striking manifestation of democracy, Chile's voters overwhelmingly rejected Allende, rejected all the talk of Cuban-styled socialism, rejected all the Communists and leftists who supported him. By a vote of about 1,400,000 to 970,000, or 56%, they elected Eduardo Frei, 53, the tall, eloquent Christian Democrat, to be their President...
...names sounded strange in a Brazilian courtroom: Chu Cheng-tung, Ho Fa-tsung, Wang Wei-cheng, Su Tse-ping. The charge against them was "conspiracy against the regime, envisaging the implantation of Chinese Communism in Brazil," and it was well documented. The Red Chinese "journalists" and "trade promoters"-nine in all-had been arrested in Rio during last April's anti-Communist revolution. In their apartment and hidden in a Jeep, the cops found $100,000 in cash, plus enough letters and papers to prove that the Chinese and their Brazilian leftist friends were deep in a campaign...
...major effort, of course, is propaganda and contacts with Latin American leftists. Sino-Latin American "Friendship Societies" have sprung up in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Venezuela and, of course, Cuba; Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay harbor "cultural" and "youth" groups linked with Red China; the New China News Agency (Hsinhua) had "foreign correspondents" in eleven hemisphere countries at last count. From Peking itself comes 38½ hours of powerful short-wave radio broadcasts each week -in impeccable Spanish and Portuguese-railing at U.S. imperialism, urging violent revolution, sniping at the Russians and crooning about Red China's Great...
