⁵ Stephen, D. Krasner, Defending the National Interest. Raw Materials Investments and U.S. Foreign Policy (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 1978) writes of the Frei measures: “The companies, particularly Kennecott, were generously compensated through tax reductions, new financing from the state, and liberal provisions for the expatriation of foreign exchange earnings” (p. 230)Google Scholar. Norman, Girvan, Corporate Imperialism: Conflict and Expropriation (White Plains, N.Y.: M. E. Sharpe, 1976) writes: “Kennecott willingly agreed to Chileanization—indeed, the company claimed to have taken the initiative in suggesting it to the government—and it secured a favorable price considerably in excess of the book value for the equity sold to the government,” (p. 69). The less perceptive management of Anaconda resisted Chileanization at the outset but later did a complete volte face and asked to be fully nationalized. Both companies retained effective managerial control under formal Chilean state ownership.Google Scholar

¹¹ Godson seemed to take this approach but satisfied himself with the platitudes politicians are wont to offer as explanations of their conduct. He wrote that since the 1880s, American trade union leaders “have been seeking an amalgam of what they have regarded as worldwide democracy and free trade unionism, peace and stability, and economic and social justice.” (op. cit., p. 55.)

¹² Tolstoy, L., War and Peace, Book III, Part II, chapter 28. The setback to the French forces at Borodino was attributed to the fact that Napoleon had caught cold, which adversely affected the genius of his military dispositions. The cause of his cold might thus have been traced to the valet who had not properly dried his boots, and the valet would thereby bear responsibility for the turning point in the war and ultimate defeat of the Empire.Google Scholar

²⁸ Information about the roles of AIFLD contacts in Pinochet's Chile has been collected by concerned groups and investigative reporters—e.g., North American Congress on Latin America, Berkeley, Calif.; Northern California Chile Coalition, Berkeley, Calif.; Research Associates International, Marina del Rey, Calif. The substance of what these sources have reported is confirmed in an article by Andrew McLellan, Interamerican Representative of the AFL-CIO, published in AFL-CIO Free Trade Union News, December 1975; namely, that AIFLD associates are “the surviving nucleus” of Chilean trade unionism, and that the AIFLD “serves as a rallying point and source of encouragement” for them. The same issue of Free Trade Union News carries with editorial approval a statement by Eduardo Rios Arias, an AIFLD associate who was placed by the military in charge of the Maritime Confederation of Chile after they had removed the elected CUT-oriented officers. Rios was appointed by the junta to represent Chilean labor at the ILO Conference.

²⁹ In a resolution adopted by the AFL-CIO Executive Board at its meeting of 5–6 August 1974 and adopted again in substantially the same terms by the AFL-CIO Convention in October 1975, it is stated that “a majority of the Chilean people… accepted the coup as a necessary act …” and that “the desire of the people … was, and is, a return to the freely elected and constitutional government …” (AFL-CIO Free Trade Union News, September 1974 and December 1975). In documents of this sort, one cannot imagine even a touch of irony, having regard to the fact that the overthrown government and assassinated president were both constitutional and freely elected.

³¹ Andrew, McLellan, in the article cited above (footnote 28) criticized the ICFTU for its support of “Communist and Maoist exiles” of the CUT and for all but disowning its regional affiliate, the ORIT. Though technically an organ of the ICFTU, the ORIT has in fact been a creature of the AFL-CIO.Google Scholar

³² A theme developed in another article written by Stuart Elliot in the December 1975 issue of Free Trade Unions News–the same which contained the McLellan and Rios statements (footnote 28). Godson, op. cit., p. 42, pointed out that Irving Brown is the author of the doctrine that the overthrow of right-wing dictatorships creates a most dangerous situation favoring communist take-over.
