WAR
Just as Marcelo Caetano has put his own
stamp on the style of Government within Portugal, this has also been reflected
in his strategy for colonial administration.
The basic assumptions, of course, remain
the same - the maintenance of total
Portuguese domination achieved by harsh
military activity and repression backed
up by increased psychological, economic
and social pacification programmes.
These tactics have been considerably revitalised under Caetano by a more sophisticated approach and more active and
efficient implementation, in three main
areas:
— reorganisation and streamlining of
cumbersome administrative structures;
— the more active mobilisation of support
for the wars both in Portugal and the
colonies, coupled with a greater appre-

ciation of the importance of 'public relations' efforts;
- more intense activities to win over the
local population in the colonies with increased emphasis on 'social justice' and
'social economic development' rather than
the previous crude 'trinkets and leaflets
propaganda.
The beginning of change was seen in Mozambique by the simultaneous arrival in
March 1970, five months after Caetano
took office, of a new Governor-General,
Eduardo de Arantes e Oliveira, and anew
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,
General Kaulza de Arriaga. Their rule has
been characterised by a clear division of
labour between civil and military actions
while maintaining close co-operation and
co-ordination. The armed forces undertake the military actions and much of the
conventional psychological warfare. This
is supported by the administration's provision of civilian infrastructure and services which facilitate the implementation
of military strategy, and substantial contribution to the psychological effort by
means of welfare, housing, settlement, i.e.
'development'.
