They pledged themselves to fight for the "national liberation" of Chile by adding to the popular front they have already formed with the Socialists. President Alessandri, who barely, beat Socialist Candidate Salvador Allende in September's election, will plainly have to deal with a threat that is growing faster than he could have guessed...
