_ Colombia priests demand that C.I.A. agents be th- rown out of country.

On October 31, 500 Col— ombian priests asked the government to expell C.I.A. agents who had infiltratedv the country’s armed forces.

In a letter sent to the President and Congress and made public in Bogota, Priests for Latin America (SAL) demand the immediate expulsion of all undercover U.S. technical or military advisors in military inst— itutions.

Last year the Canadian government recognized the Chilean military junta whi— ch overthrew Salvador, say— ing however that it was merely a de facto recogni~ tion and in no way inplied that it considered the junta the lawful government of the country. The early date of the move was ostensibly to protect Canadian economr‘ ic interests in Chile. Since then however we have not Only been protecting our interests but rapidly ex— panding them. Examples:

- Canadian credit is be—- ing given to the junta;al- most none was given to A1— lende.

They also demand the cessation of the training of Colombian military in the United States and call for the establishment of a vigilance committee in Colombia.

In turn Alfredo Vazguez Carrizosa former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Col— ombia called the C.I.A. "the mysterious arm of a V government (the U.S. gov't) that intervenes in other countries and has-become an inter—American problem".

When will these U.S. cap— italists stop exploiting the peoples of Latin America!
