In this instance, however, the gov- ernment's position appears to be correct; the Pres- ident has announced that he will abide by any de- cision of the Constitutional Tribunal--highest legal arbiter of constitutional questions. The army's close examination of political issues is not typical, although some officers have made their in- dividual political views known. Prats' action is significant in that it is another example of the growing politicization of the military under Allende.
