Promise of Revolution. It was supposed to be a close election. The campaign started almost two years ago, and grew louder with each passing month. Having come within 29,000 votes of beating incumbent President Jorge Allessandri in 1958, the demagogic Allende blitzed Chile's poor and unemployed with grand promises of "revolution within the law." "From the south to the north," he cried last week at a rally in Santiago, "there is a rebel attitude that will win our destiny."

"They are operating in a sea of lOUs," says Victor Riveros, editor of Peru's fishing-industry journal Pesca. The industry now has a capacity of 2,000,000 tons of fish meal a year, or nearly double what it expects to sell. As a result, most of the country's 156 plants are operating at half speed; 30 are closed altogether. Last week workers marched in and seized one plant on account of three...
