MEMORANDUM: ! A determined effort is being made.to create in Mexico a trouble spot similar to Cuba. The Russian and Cuban Embassies, ex-President Lazaro Cardenas, the Popular Party, which was recently emboldened to call itself the Socialist party, and a small group of Communist agitators and sympathizers (unimportant in number: but influential) are strategically! located in labor unions, such as the railroad, oil, electrical, telephone i and teachers unions, in the National University, the National Polytechnical Institute and the Normal Schools, and in government posts. These are the agents of this movement, which should be a matter of the deepest concern, not only to all Mexicans desirous of preserving freedom in our country, but to the United States of America in view of the struggle for survival in which it is engaged against Russia and China. Its triumph ; in Mexico would be disastrous because of this country's large population (35 million compared to Cuba's 7). Its long border with the United States, and extensive coastlines in the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and the - @zribbean Sea, and especially the prestige and leadership it enjoys in other Latin American countries, where 15 exampie would bc cecisiv c. : - Unfortunately, conditions in Mexico have deteriorated notably since the last 2 years of the Ruiz Cortines administration, which ended in the midst of dangerous strixes and widespead agitation. The administration in . power since December 1958 has repressed violent outbursts and jailed some of the more notorious leaders (lixe Vallejo, Campa and Alfaro Siqueiros), but it has publicly supported t!e-Castro regime and has been: jess than lukewarm te efforts.on the part of other governments to deal with this menace. President Lopes Mateos has proclaimed that this 4 government is on "the extreme left" and has followed up this statement | with several steps apparently aimed at the complete socialization of ; economic life. In a country where the government already engages in practically every economic activity and exercises virtual control over mining, agriculture, industry, trade and banxing, the steps to which reference is made, namely the extension of the oil monopoly to the heavy | chemical industry, the acquisition of the third steel mill in importance to (the largest one was already owned by the government, while the second. one is in private hands), and the nationalization of the electric power ~ industry by forcing the two most important companies to sell to the : government, have spelled out a clear pattern for a socialist organization of the national life, in which private enterprise will be permitted to engage in activities of secondary importance under the over-all direction of the’ - government, ? i a 1 0508 Wh lator es etathiss 3 CnPY | ‘oF & . tl Mlb JE3BY/ Smale rand aebneents sags 1 Sere eecetmeniirammagrtingee ceny, torn mret eee nemasenie 101 Latics Sethe «sen, 7 i ' i | aN me NY
104-10175-10063 ee 1 2 maleate Tit kamen ended 6 i It is difficult to say whether the policy of the present administration is due to sympathy for the Cuban revolution and to socialist convictions on the part of the President and his principal advisers, or, as it has been widely believed, to fear of Cardenas and the supposedly progressive jo+ elements ‘who surround him. It is said that by his leftist pronouncements :. . and socialistic measures, Lopez Mateos hopes to steal their banner and . thus forestall the peril of a revolution aimed at substituting him with a more radical and anti~American figure. qe : i So far the present social, economic and political trend has not excused eh an opposition comparable to that which met the previous effort to communize Mexico, conducted from 1934 to 1940 when Cardenas was President. Many; - years of propaganda have confused intellectual leaders, the business community is afraid to protest, while many people admire or fear Russia: i ‘ or believe that socialism is an inevitable development, which it would be ! foolish to resist. Also, the present movement is skillfully combined with; appeals to nationalism and to the envy and resentment towara those wn: : are more deserving or have been "luckier" than the majority. 3 ‘ In Mexico, as throughout the world, the Catholic Church has condemned Communism with clearness aad energy.. However, many of its 2lements { speak of capitalism and Communism as though they were twin evils and proclaim that the aim of true christians should be, not to eliminate the abuses and corre-ct the imperfections of the former, ‘but to.substitute in’ bow, , ‘ ite place a third: system which they vaguely designate as “social justice" or the “social doctrine of the Church." Since the existing social order inj | . Mexico as in the rest of Latin America with the exception of Cuba, is - ‘still based on the institutions of private property, freedom of enterprise | . and competition which are described as capitalism, in spite of.extensive { - govemment interventionism and-invasion of many economic fields, this - F attitude amounts in effect to a collaboration with the Communist andvother! elements who are engaged in destroying it. This possibility does not ; seem to frighten the more vehement enemies of the existing organization,; who go so far as to welcome the destruction of capitalism by Raminmaiens, and who claim that since this iniquitous system will be unable to survive, } i on the ruins, of both, Catholicism will prevail and inaugurate a new epoch, Since the weakness of these arguments is so obvious, we shail masaty point out, granting as we do, that capitalism, a free of market or con-. eumer's economy, is far from perfect, just as historically every great - social system has been, it is surely not necessary to destroy it in order to reform it, just asa physician does not kill a patient before curing him { 4 = J ee
104-10175-10063 % Moreover, it seems the height of folly to exchange a system under which _— the Church can.exist.and perform its appointed functions, for another ‘. which is professedly atheisticyand which tolerates religious practices i and ceremonies for tactical reasons, while it can suppress them completely, Finally, there is not the least assurance that the expectations of the people to whom we refer will be realized and that Com:nunism will be unable; to perpetuate itself. The Turks who captured Constantinople in 1453 still “2s retain it, and while those responsible for the fall of the Byzantine Empire committed many blunders and even crimes, at least they did not incur in the supreme folly of welcoming the barbarians who were to substitute ; i the sign of Islam ‘for that of the Cross. In view of the offensive to which we refer at the beginning of this document, aimed at establishing in Mexico a second beachhead for. international Communism, we consider that it is not only convenient but. urgent and indispensable, that all those who are opposed to it should | emphz2size what they have in common instead of what divides us. Only by uniting our efforts and by working in-ciligently, ceterminedly and - tirelessly can we hope to defeat this implacable enemy, whose victory will mean. the end not only of capitalism but of civilization and religion. - As for the means and procedure for achieving the unioa to which we refer, we are not competent to give an opinion, and therefore limit ourselves to stating that we are willing to cooperate sincerely and wholeheartedly . with those whom we consider our friends and allies, in spite of differ~ ‘ ences which are undoubtedly secondary when compared with the danger:---- >" ---- 4: in which we tind ourselves. j However, we do believe that positive action is absolutely vital and in the absence of a united effort to fight Communism, we have formed a '- group called Asociacion Nacionalista Mexicana. : 3 This association has clearly defined its “Modus Operandi" for the‘ purpose of attacking Communism on three fronts which are: Economic, Civic and Political, At the same time create a climate in Mexico: © unsuitable for further Communist aggression. The following is a brief outline describing the plan to attack the Communists on the economic front: : core
4 s 4 i Avail ourselves: of.the resources, ideale, training, experience and techniques of the Instituto de Investigaciones Sociales y- Economicos. Correlate all efforts toward a free market economy where private initiative and free enterprise may flourish under a | Christian doctrine: and. without state intervention . je Defend those members of free enterprise and private initiative H who are now being attacked, namely the small land owner, the : small manufacturer, the. small store owner ané taxi.cab.drivers + and owners. This group may not be important individually but as a group they are extremely important in our defense of the free __ enterprise system as a bulwark against Communism through their ; individual efforts, public opinion, civic pressure and voting. i re ? There is a concerted effort on the part of the government to eliminate. this section of free enterprise because it represents a tremendous ao: obstacle (as it did in Russia) towards state sociaiism. At ine present a time the government is slowly but surely attacking and eliminating this group one at a time since individually they are defenseless against the | state and Communist agitators. : At present Communism in Mexico is attacking small property owners, both private as well as collective. Such cases have come up very 2 frequently in the States of: Zacatecas, Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacan; _ a Nayarit, Colima, Sinaloa, Sonora, Morelos, Guerrero, and the State | of Mexico, sponsored by Governors Francisco Martinez dela Vega j  -: and Juan Gil Preciado, as.well as. by ex~-Governors Braulio Maldanado; oO of Baja California, and “Margarito Ramirez of Quintana.

Communist attacks.directed at the very heart and soul of Mexico. If : they plant the seed of distrust in the Mexican farm program against the ‘small land owner, it will produce great agitation which will only benefit the Communist plan in Mexico. . wy wena For this purpose another office will be formed with two lawyers, two undergraduate law students, and one secretary, to defend all the sects are iam ath hed ¥ 265. .

This group considers that political planning in Mexico is not opportune because public opinion is still holding on to that very old concept of ., “politica del Campadario", and it prefers to lead a civic struggle, that is,. it will fight to make the democratic vote effective and stimulate the, : : : Mexican people to exercise their rights. ; : i . : It will also encourage a more active part of the woman in civic ; life without taxing sides. It will work toward the realization of the ideal ; of the Mexican government, limited and respectful of its own constitution, - of the division of power which constitutes one of the best controls to limit. the always growing power of a modern State. -; , Since this group will only interfere in civic matters, it will be-easy: Po ens . to present obiectively its points of view, more so since i: wants te make ; an intense campaign for the respect of the rights of citizens and for.the |; - : accomplishment of civic ideals such as: the rescue of moral and i spiritual values; the exaltation of political and civic virtues; the absolute- purity in the democratic process; a limited government with participation of all the people; law and order in all human relations; economic, religious, * educational, civic and political liberty; divorce from exotic ideas and. =? | . doctrines; moderation in the policy of taxes; administrative honesty, etc. j Attached are declarations of principles which have already been published.

We will fight for social justice, for the defenseless, clean and democratic government, etc. As has been mentioned before, this association is already formed and is now working but its efforts have been intermittent namely due to lack of funds to carry on a continuous effort. Its efforts have been effectively proved through its attack against Communisr: in the . School of Economics in the National University. It has constantly attacked state socialiam and exposed Communists in xey posts in the government. It has proved its willingness to establish true friendship to the United States through a spirit of true nationalism. At the present time the Communist organizations through Lazaro - Cardenas and othere are explsiting the distentent of the macses sgainst the government and for the Communist cause. There is no other refuge for these people to turn who would like to see the ineptitude, graft and moral corruption terminated. The local government is’ divorced from its people and the common knowledge -f social injustices forms an excellent resounding wall for the Communist false promises. This discontent and energy must now be channeled toward a democratic Christian national block which is compatible with the natural tendency of the Mexican people. + It is urgent that this organization begin to function NOW, continuously, and in all fronts. Manpower, brains, experience, knowledge, ideals, will power and determination are available. Our only lack is operating funds for such a noble and imperative cause. A minimum operating budget of $5,000 dollars per month is - required or a total of $60,000 dollars annual requirement. This budget includes minimum operational overhead, salaries for administrative .personnei and legal action as well as funds to carry on a small news~ paper and publications in all newspapers. - As mentioned above, this is a minimum budget and it is expected that in time more funds will be available through private subscribers and other groups. : ’ following conditions: 3 * + ‘ j
