ON RELATIONS BETWEEN THE MILITARY JUNTA AND THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. "In the negotiations I have taken part in, I have acted in the name of the government as a whole and not in the name of my ministry or party. I suppose the junta is in agreement. I have no special contact with members of the junta, but I believe they are in agreement." However, should it begin to appear that his military bosses want him to operate on different principles, Soares suggests that he and his party might have to withdraw their support. "The position of the Socialists is radically anticolonialist. We cannot be counted on to carry out a policy contrary to our ideals."
