1. A. By and large the groupings of the political parties in Chile is
as follows:
1. Rightists: Liberals, Conservatives, Traditionalist Con-
servatives, Agrarians, and Democrats "of Chile". These
are joined in some districts by the Phalanx party, while
in others the Phalanx joined the radicals or other groups.
2. Left Center: Radicals, Socialists, National Democratic
3. "Official" Ibanists: Farm Labor, Democratic "of the People"..
"Popular" Socialists, Doctrinaire Radicals, Progressive
Feminine
4. National Federation of Ibanist Forces: National Ibanist
Movement, Chilean Feminine, National Christian and Labor
5. Odd parties, including: National Union Movement, National
Union of Independents, National Union of Pensioners, Popular
Union, New Public Action and others.
B. These groupings differ in some districts where local electoral
pacts have been negotiated. For example, in the Talca district,
the Radical candidates are on a common list with the Liberals,
Traditionalist Conservatives and Agrarians, while in the San
Fernando district Conservatives are allied to Socialists and
National Union of the People, and are in opposition to Liberals
and Traditionalist Conservatives*

C. The supporters of President Ibanez are divided into three main
groups: "Anap", that is, the National Alliance of the People;
"Fenafui", National Federation of Ibanist Forces; and "Monap",
National Movement of the People, and the feeling between the
first two of these groups is running very high, on the surface
at least, higher than between each one and the different oppo-
sition groups.
