Members, of the Arab colony in Chile and of the ACHA, Chilean reactionary and anti-Semitic organization, are believed to be responsible for the recent bombing of the Israelite Club in Santiago, according to a report from a reliable source in Chile received here today.
The report says that Arabs and ACHA members are cooperating closely in Chile, with the former providing funds for the ACHA. Their position has recently become stronger due to a change of policy by President Gonzalez Videla who, although he is not supporting anti-Semitism, has made a complete about-face from his former pro-Zionist position.
President Videla, the report emphasizes, has not as yet made any attempt to ban the publication of numerous anti-Semitic sheets which have been springing up in Chide. Chilean Jews feel that the present situation is deteriorating, but hope that no further attempts to develop the anti-Semitic activities will be made.
