Should offer hand of partnership to Mexico Mexico City a the message president Carlos Salinas de Gortari wants to Send to the United states he says is a Mexico is changing. We want to be in the International Arena. Its the Only Way to stay  for that it is obvious to most people Here there must be Good relations with the United states a new Confidence to replace knee Jerk resentment arising from solid historical reasons and the inevitable weight of a colossus. And in Many ways that is developing. President Bush and Salinas have Good personal rapport. High level government contacts arc being institutionalized. The 2,000-Milc Border is increasingly permeable with More than 200 million Legal Crossings last year. Attitudes Are evolving especially in a new generation of the educated. Hector Aguilar Camin a Magazine editor who is 43 a the same age As Salinas a says he has moved considerably from his views of the revolutionary 1960s and feels a we have More to gain than to lose from the . I Sec now that our own mistakes Hurt us More than the . Did. We Jost a lot of opportunities by our defensive  still the underlying reflex is deeply ingrained. Even Luis Alvarez Leader of the opposition National action party pan betrays it when he denies charges of receiving Campaign help from . Republicans. A if i did id be sitting in los pinos the presidents office now a he said sharply unwittingly revealing the automatic assumptions of americans Power to influence everything Here. So it does no to take a lot to provoke new anger. The Case of Humberto Alvarez Machain has become a Flash Point symbolizing Mexico a sense of fragile sovereignty and what it considers . Disdain. It threatens to Poison the whole relation although diplomats on both sides Are desperately eager to prevent that. It is a Nasty Case. Machain is accused of participating in the torture death of a . Drug enforcement agent Enrique Camarina Salazar in Jalisco in 1985. On april 2 he was kidnapped and we spent 300 by Lush on psf Ense but which one poses the Masr the amp a Ltd Oor  ? s3sksbsshhshssspss, turned Over to police in Elpaso and now faces trial in California. Everyone Here supposes the drug enforcement Agency was behind the abduction. There is no proof but it makes Little difference whether he was ordered by special delivery or just turned Over cod. The outrage is such that Salinas would win unanimous applause from his compatriots if he expelled the Dea from Mexico in retribution. He does no to want to do that. A it would be populist and we re against populism a said a senior official. And Salinas is serious about fighting drug traffic which he Calls a a threat to our National  he Hasni to decided whether to demand Machain Back which would Challenge the . Judicial system or wait for the trial and seek extradition reopening the whole Case Here. Mexican officials Point out that 28 people have already been convicted and jailed in the Camarena murder Case and say the United states never asked them to arrest Machain. There is no sympathy Here for the drug dealers sadistic medic and Salinas said he had ordered the Camarena investigation reopened. But other mexicans argue the . Reaction to one agents death is disproportionate when 300 of their police have been killed in the drug War. They feel the kidnapping was a display of . Contempt for and disbelief in their Effort when there Hasni to been any remarkable Progress in the . Fight on drugs at Home. Salinas wants a new agreement with the United states on rules of Alliance against drug traffickers. American officials say there have already been improved exchanges of intelligence but the mexicans consider it one sided. They want a reciprocity a which Isnit clearly defined but seems to include stationing some mexican drug agents in . Cities. They want a special High William f. Buckley or. Level joint anti drug group and firm Assurance that . Agents Only gather information Here and done to operate As extra territorial police. There will have to be much better regularized cooperation or there wont be any a top Cabinet member said Quot and we done to want  the recent . Supreme court decision giving american courts jurisdiction Over crimes against american citizens abroad worries the mexicans. They admit their judicial system is racked with corruption but they see the ruling As legalizing aggressive disrespect for their sovereignty. This is turning into one of those unforeseen blips that distort a carefully planned picture. The United states is not Well coordinated on such issues. There Are conflicting Washington interests. But Mexico must be shown that the United states considers it a willing partner even on such ugly cases not just a backyard for us to clean up because we can to handle our own addiction. New York times Mexico should tie to a capitalistic bandwagon Ien i was an agent of the Cia in Mexico a later or in Narhi he. _ when i was an agent of the Cia in Mexico a gust 1951-april 1952one of my missions was to slip envelopes with Money in them to a student Leader affiliated with a movement whose motto was a uni com nismo in  rescued from its bumper sticker compactness what the statement said was a just As we mexicans must not follow the ways of communism so we must not follow the ways of  the Cia in those Days was run by Ivy leagues much influenced by the whole idea that the world was developing with a natural orientation toward the a third Way a the Middle Way As Sweden a mixture of socialism and capitalism was described. Things have not greatly changed in Mexico where the word capitalism continues except in some intellectual circles to be ostracized. This made it easier for Pope John Paul ii to do his routine denunciation of capitalism when he spoke on wednesday in Pancho Villa country sounding very much like Pancho Villa. He wanted it made Clear he said that in celebrating the collapse of communism he had not meant to say that capitalism had triumphed. Relying on the report in the new York times by Clyde Habrman we learn the Pope was explicit indeed in his condemnation of a the effects that Liberal capitalism has produced at least so far in the countries known As the third  the Pope spoke of a the excessive hoarding of riches by some a which a denies them to the majority and thus the very wealth that is accumulated generates  he told the great crowd that he had criticized communism not for its economic shortcomings but rather because it a Yvio lated or jeopardized the dignity of the person. The word a a capitalism is in disrepute in part because it is associated with such practices As communist rhetoric concentrated in attacking in part because of the image of the sweatshop. It is not universally understood that sweatshops exist in socialist countries where they last much longer listen by contrast to a few sentences in which professor Gerald w. Scully of the University of Texas reports in the journal of political ec9nomy, on a recent test a of the effect of the institutional framework on the efficiency and growth of  professor Scully writes a in this study of the worlds 115 Market economies Over the period 1960-80 compound growth rates of real Domestic product per capita and a measure of economic efficiency were compared with measures of political civil and economic Liberty. It was found that the Choice of the institutional framework has profound consequences on the efficiency and growth of economies. Politically open societies which bind themselves to the Rule of Law to private property and to the Market allocation of resources grow at three times 2.73 to 0.91 percent annually the rate and Are two and a half times As efficient As societies in which these freedoms Are circumscribed or  what is the word that described the conditions listed Here by professor Scully capitalism. The Vatican Library is among the most comprehensively exhaustive m the world. Such is the Eclectic appetite of its curator that it even harbours reputedly the largest collection of pornography in the world. One wonders Why some librarian does no to give the Pope some contemporary findings on the effects of capitalism. One recent study of 31 third world economies Over a period of 40 years tells us Many interesting things. In India where the government intervenes massively per capita income in 1980 dollars Rose from $150 in 1950 to $230 in 1980 while in South Korea where the government has intervened much less per capita income Rose from $350 to $2,900. Forty years ago Ghana was the richest country in Black Africa with per capita income almost exactly equal to South koreans. By the Early 1980s, South Korea s income was five times Ghana a and Ghana a had fallen by More than 18 percent. A like water that seeks its own level resources Are predisposed to flow to their highest valued use. But a necessary condition for achieving this efficiency result is that All resources be owned exclusively by private individuals and that these resources be  the Pope is triumphantly right when he criticizes human greed and materialist priorities. There is nothing in capitalism that requires of its practitioners that they engage in these distortions. The following Day the Pope spoke at Chihuahua where he criticized birth control in a country that will have a population of 100 million by the end of this decade. If by the end of this decade Mexico Isnit engaging wholeheartedly in capitalist practices the Pope is urging the birth of children who will suffer greatly unnecessarily the Fate of societies in which capitalism does not prevail.
