The plentiful late and cautious intervention of the Chilean Ministry of Foreign Affairs to place the appearance of the "ex-ante of the extinct Czechoslovak repbulism", Smetana, within reasonable limits, has prompted the infamous Hetz magazine "Hoy" in its number 538 of March 1st to an intense attack on the hourly officials of the Foreign Ministry and the undersigned. The embodiment of the Zeitschrift is enclosed in the annex in translation. The editor of the magazine "Hoy", Mr. Ismael Edwards Matte, is known to be the official broadcaster of the government. Whether he remains under the presidency of Mr. Rio is doubtful. e.g. W. Schoen 02180 To the Federal Foreign Office Berlin
