Chile: the balanced view : a recopilation of articles about the Allende years and after

Almost all of the individuals so favoured had the fundamental assignment of forming a parallel army, íntended to bríng about ín Chile the confrontation anticipated by Castro. Sorne photographs -whích I submit to the Chair- show Cuban instructors, even in Castro's army uniform, devoted to the task of teaching Chilean youths how to handle weapons íllegally brought into the countrY. Others show instances ín whích Cuban and other foreign instructors celebrated the graduation of Chílean militiamen, already assimilated to the image ofthose surround ing Castro. These actions were directed by Castroites brought in as indicated, or by C,ubans who entered Chile in a clandestine manner. That is the reason why' in September .1973,987 cubans were detected as having entered the country illegally. And this occurred at the end of the Government of President Allende. llikewise submit to the Chair photocopies of the official communications informing on the visas mentioned. The way in which the Embassy of Cuba was managed in Santiago is intimately related to the foregoing. Cuban diplomatic personnel in Chile was always out of proportion. The Castro Government maintained a luxuriant diplomatic representation in my country, while Chile had only one diplomatic and four administrative officials in Havana. Merely as an illustratíon and in order not to fatigue the Council. I shan read out a communication sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in my country by the Chilean Embassy, listing accredited oflicíals on February 26,1973. However. ifyou will allow me, Mr. Chairman, and should the Representatives see no objections, I willrequest that this list be inserted in the re~ord.
