ON THE WORLD SCENE
REDS INCH CLOSER TO POWER IN ITALY The mounting crisis in Italy
bears watching this week. Caretaker premier Guilio Andreotti is
trying to piece together the 40th postwar Italian government. This
time he is under intense pressure from the Communists to be included
formally for the first time in positions of actual power, holding
cabinet posts in a new coalition regime.
Andreotti's previous government fell last week under the hammer blows
of a plethora of economic, political and soclal crises -- among them
raging inflation, high unemployment and growing social disruption by
terrorists and political militants on both the left and the right. As
a result, the Communists reneged on the private understanding they
reached with Andreotti's Christian Democrats last July to abstain in
the Parliament on key issues, letting Christian Democrat legislation
pass -- having first been cleared in huddles with the Red leadership.
In effect, the Communists have already acted as a "silent partner" in
government, but now they feel the time is right for full recognition
and authority.
The United States has belatedly and somewhat timorously voiced its
opposition to the principle of power-sharing with the Communists.
Given President Carter's fuzziness on the question of European com­
munism, the U.S. warning is hardly a credible one. After all, when
he arrived at the airport in Warsaw, Poland on his six-nation tour
recently, Mr. Carter opined in his arrival speech that "old ideological
labels have lost their meaning" in today's world. If that really be
the case of the State Department, then one should not be concerned if
the Communists get two or three cabinet positions in Rome, in Paris,
or elsewhere in Western Europe.
