...TIME'S report, "Chile: The Expanding Left" [Oct. 19], has judged the Allende coalition prematurely. Prejudicial fears often become self-fulfilling prophecies. The surest way to force Allende into the Communist camp is to withdraw or withhold American capital and industry from Chile at this time. I hope we will not react in a manner that will make it imperative for Chile to seek aid from other (perhaps Communist) nations. If we do, we have no one to blame but ourselves. American industry may lose some of its grip on Chile's economy, but that is not necessarily...
...that Allende is about to take over in Chile, he will probably ask the Peace Corps to leave. I do hope it is politely, because for the last seven years Peace Corps volunteers have been living and working primarily in primitive, remote villages with Chile's poor, trying to help them obtain a bigger share of their country's wealth.

...Chile, a budding urban guerrilla outfit known as the M.I.R. was making considerable headway on the argument that Chile's traditional political approaches were not answering the country's social needs. M.I.R.'s march has been stalled, temporarily at least, by the election of Marxist Salvador Allende as Chile's President...
...Canadian formula on Taiwan, Italy may become the next nation to establish relations. Rome has been holding secret talks in Paris with Chinese diplomats for six years. Belgium and Austria have expressed interest in establishing diplomatic ties. Marxist Salvador Allende, who is expected to be confirmed as Chile's President this week, has already promised to recognize Mao's regime, and there is speculation that the new leftist regime in Bolivia may follow suit...
