The Portuguese government, which includes civilians from the Socialist. Popular Democratic, and Communist parties, recently announced a plan for state control of large industrial and agricultural concerns.

The plan provides for continued private property and free enterprise, but Marxist military officers have advocated an end to all capitalism in the country.
