WELCOME TO YOUR HOME: CHILE Said the cheery banners at Santiago's Pudahuel airport. From the start of his two-week visit, Cuba's Fidel Castro did not seem to be at home at all. A 21-gun salute boomed out as he walked down the ramp of his four-jet llyushin, but the speech that Castro had labored over on the long flight from Havana stayed in the pocket of his olive-green fatigues. Silenced by Chilean protocol, which allows only heads of state to deliver arrival addresses (as Cuba's Premier, Castro is technically only...
Still Wary. In Chile, as elsewhere in Latin America, Castro seems a trifle outmoded. His heavy dependence on the Russians has won him no admirers, and his Sierra Maestra style is considered anachronistic by those who follow the smooth urban guerrillas of Uruguay and the business-suited Marxists of Allende's Chile. Even so, he is gaining ground; Peru may soon become the second Latin American country to re-establish diplomatic relations with Cuba. Chile did so a year ago, Mexico has maintained relations with Havana all along, and Argentina and Venezuela may follow. The result could...
...becoming available, but they hold much promise of turning Indonesia into an important producer of several materials for which the industrialized world could use an alternative source of supply.

Western nations also worry about the prospect of a shutdown of Mideast oil wells by Arab governments seeking more revenue. In newly stable Indonesia, the problems are merely finding the materials and bringing them to market...

Those who are happiest about where "Chicho" (an affectionate nickname) is headed are the hundreds of thousands of Chilean peasants and wage earners who were left out of the modest prosperity that the copper-rich country enjoyed after World War II. But Chile's broad middle-its businessmen, managers and professional men-have begun to balk. Their worry is that Allende, under pressure from his own far-left backers, has begun to move too far, too fast...
...Outside Chile, Allende is rapidly winning acceptance. On a recent ten-day swing through Peru, Ecuador and Colombia, he won pledges of moral support for his sweeping nationalization of American-owned firms. Even Argentina's jittery military regime has begun to regard its Marxist neighbor as just another striving nationalist. The Communist countries have been careful not to embrace Allende too eagerly, for fear that they might do him more harm than good. For that reason, Fidel Castro refused an invitation to Allende's inauguration last year; he is due to arrive in Santiago for his first visit...
