...Chileanize" the country's copper industry, then largely U.S.-owned, and double production to move it from third place to first place in the non-Communist world. His government offered tax cuts in return for production increases and a share of the ownership. Kennecott in 1967 sold Chile 51% of its El Teniente mine and promised a large expansion of operations by 1971. Chile paid the company $80 million and cut its taxes in half-down to 44% of revenues. Chile also obtained a 30% interest in a company that Cerro Corp. formed to develop a new Chilean mine...

The government settled for one-fourth of the company's new Exotica mine, which next year is expected to add 112,500 tons to Anaconda's annual 407,000-ton production, and 49% of an exploration company. Unlike Kennecott, Anaconda depends on Chile for most (61%) of its production and half of its earnings.

Italy's Chamber of Deputies last week began full debate on a bill that would allow civil divorce for one of seven reasons. Parliamentary observers predict that the bill will pass, probably before the end of the year...
...equally hard blow, Chile requested that Rockefeller's visit there be canceled. Again, like Caldera, President Eduardo Frei Montalva, a friend of the U.S., was influenced by threats of unrest in response to the Rockefeller visit. In any case, some Chileans felt that a visit from President Nixon's envoy would be superfluous: this week, Foreign Minister Gabriel Valdés, acting on behalf of all Latin American countries, will present the President with a common-stand position paper that proposes new foundations-particularly in the economic field-for U.S.-Latin American relations...
