...first common market between the two countries. A practical basis for the reciprocal market already exists: Brazil buys Chile's nitrates and Chile needs Brazil's coffee and cocoa. The committee starts work in 60 days on a draft treaty. Said Chile's President Carlos Ibanez: "If we succeed, your visit will be a landmark for a new economic organization for all the countries of Latin America...
Chile, the doughty little country that never lost a shooting war, is fighting a desperate battle against the hemisphere's deadliest case of inflation. Until the beginning of this year, victory was in the air; President Carlos Ibanez, advised by U.S. Economic Consultants Klein & Saks, had effectively reversed 40 years of accelerating inflation.

Most of the cost of Chile's austerity has been taken out of the pay envelopes of labor, already hard pressed by heavy taxes and a decline in real wages.

Though the party is outlawed and the Ibanez government is antiCommunist, the Reds have burrowed deep into the labor movement. Their biggest coup was the capture of Clotario Blest. White-haired Bachelor Blest, longtime head of the National Association of Government Employees, is a strange bedfellow for Communists. He is a Roman Catholic whose favorite reading is the Thomist philosophers. In 1952 the Communists invited Blest to Moscow along with other labor leaders. The fact that Holy Week services were...
