...release of any foreign hostages. The policy is a risky one. U.S. Police Adviser Daniel Mitrione was murdered last August by his captors, the Tupamaro guerrillas. British Ambassador Geoffrey Jackson has been held by kidnapers for more than two months, and last week the guerrillas seized Attorney General Guido Berro Oribe for "questioning." Nonetheless, the Uruguayan government is hopeful that its policy will ultimately put an end to political kidnapings, since the Tupamaros have gained little for their trouble and, in resorting to murder, have lost their Robin Hood image...

Foreign banks had been required only to report their lire intake by phone to their nearest correspondent bank in Italy to receive full credit in any currency. Carli decreed that banks abroad would have to send the lira bills to Rome before they could get foreign funds...
When the workers' riots erupted in Poland, some of the loudest denunciations of the Communist bosses in Warsaw came from party spokesmen in Western Europe-most notably from the Red leaders of Italy's Emilia-Romagna region. Guido Fanti, the Communist president of the region, rose before his 50-member council to deplore "the tragic events of Poland."
