...growing number of Latin American leftists, as one Bolivian says, ";feel closer to poor struggling China than they do to rich, powerful, bourgeois Russia." Chinese-oriented Communists now reportedly outnumber the Moscow followers among Peru's party members. And in Venezuela, Peking certainly talks the right emo tional language for the F.A.L.N. guerrillas fighting in the hills.

After signing a trade agreement with the U.S., Bucharest sent representatives to Geneva last week, inquiring about the possibility of membership not only in the West-sponsored GATT trade organization but in Washington's World Bank and International Monetary Fund as well. Reportedly the Hungarians and Bulgarians put out similar feelers.
