An Opposition With lnierna.
iionaI Prestige

No matter how corrupted q
government is and how bad its
international reputation may be,
that does not imply that all the
individuals, groups or parties
opposing such a regime will
enjoy the consideration and re-
spect of the international circles.
1t is evident that any bad OPT
MON formed abroad with regard
to the regime they fight will
help the opposition a great deal.
Yet, to achieve such esteem and
respect it is necessary that the
groups of the opposition may
win international sympathy by
the way of their own actions.
Even when the other govern
ments assume a neutral attitude
with respect to a government
facing a strong opposition, if the
individuals who make up such
opposition deserve international
respect because of their moral
qualities, for their political abil-
ity, for their good judgment
and their unity, the foreign
chancelleries, one way or the
other, give special attention to
causes hat are backed by pa
triots, by honest people, whose
conduct develops on the bases
of political responsibility and is
inspired by a spirit of unity and
by democratic ideals.
Those. who within the opposi-
ton deviate from such a line Of
conduct, are responsible not only
of the ineffectiveness of the
movement in a national scope,
but, also, they are responsible
of the international discredit
that their attitude may produce.
If those who make the oppo-
sition and, especially, those who
direct the opposition, do not
surround their cause with the
required respect and earnestness,
how can they expect the other
people to see their problem with
even more concern than they
themselves?
Apart from what the chan.
c~elleries can do with a "bene.
VIOLENT neutrality" instead of q
"strict neutrality, it must be
borne in mind how important it
is for the opposition the opinion
that other nations may form not
only with regard to the cause
for which that opposition fights,
but also about the way in which
such opposition behaves. If the
cause is a good one and its de.
tense is carried on a level of
pride and d ecency, without
whims and particular interests
detracting to the spirit of the
fight, the foreign governments
and the other people, especially
those of the same geographical
area, will give their moral sup
port, at least, to those who
fight an unpopular regime for
the benefit of the country.

US. INDUSTRY INVESTMENTS
ARE INCREASING IN MEXICO

American companies now have
about $500 million invested in Me-
xico, and produce well over $500
million a year Of goods and Servi-
ces in that country, according to a
comprehensive new report, U. S.
Investments in the Latin Ameri-
can Economy, announced Marion
A. Leonard, Manager, Miami Field
Office U. S. Department of Com
merce.
This report provides for the first
time comprehensive facts on the
extent of participation by U. S.
companies in the industrial devel-
opment of Mexico and other coun-
tries of Latin America.
A striking feature of the growth
of private direct U. S. investments
in Mexico since the wal has been
the expansion of manufacturing
investments from a book value of
$66 million in 1946 to over $500
millien at the beginning of this
year, This is a more diversified
pattern than was the Isl of earl
Ter investments in Mexico, and re-
fleets an important contribution to
the industrial development of the
country.
Sales of manufactures produced
in Mexico by U S. companies re-
porting in the Commerce survey
were over $500 million in 1855,
with chemicals accounting for
about $3.50 million, and sales of
automotive products and machin-
cry about S120 million. Combin.
ed sales of all manufacturing
plants operated in Mexico by u.
S. companies probably now exceed
$500 million annually.
u. S investments in the mining
and smelling industry in Mexico
retain an important place in the
economy of that country, account
ing Tor output valued at over 5000
million in 1855 and producing the
great bulk of Mexico's exports of
metals and minerals, other than
petroleum.
The new report shows that pay
ments in Mexico by the U. S. com.
panies operating there we're over
$500 million in 1855, directly gen.
Grating a considerable part of total
Mexican incomes. About half of the
payments were for materials,

Mexieans Optimistic on
Possibilities of Return
of British Investments

MEXICO, Jan II. ,(UP)- The
Mexican press is commenting with
satisfaction the possibility that
British capital may return to the
country, to participate in the de-
velopment of the oil industry, af-
ter twenty years absence due to
the appropriation of that industry.
But Pemex director, Antonio ].
Bermudez, in a carefully drafted
statement, said III is not true the
Director of Pemex has requested
a loan of $50 millions pesos (about
60 million dollarS) from the Bri-
fish Government through the Pres

Eccles, who is in Mexico on q
good will tour, spoke with Der.
madez and later revealed that,
during the conversation, the posi-
bility hat Great Britain may sup
ply equipment, machinery, pipe,
and other materials, on a long term
payment plan, was discussed.
The press has said for several
months that Pemex is in negotia.
tions with French bankers to OBJ.
tains credits to be applied to the
purchase of French oil equipment;
but each time the matter is ment.
foned, Bermudey denies it and
points out the Mexican oil industry
functions only with Mexican ca.
pital, without the need Of credits
from abroad.
Although a short time ago Pres
ident Adolfo Ruiz Confines issued
a decree authorizing a bond issue
of "a million dollars for the Me-
xican oil industry, there is pressure
from banking circles that foreign
cauital be obtained in order to
speed up the expansion of a num-
Der of industries.
Observers believe therefore, that
it would not be impossible that the
Government decides to change the
politely of opposition to foreign
capital in the oil industry.
ECCLES SATISFIED WITH HIS
VISIT
MEXICO, Jan. II. (UP)- The
President of the British Board of
Trade, Sir David Eccles, declared
he is very satisfied with results of
his interviews with Mexican Gov
eminent officials and businessman,
and that he hopes for negotiations
in the near future to study con-
crete proposals to increase trade
relations and the flow of British
capital to Mexico.
Eccles declared that Great Brit
ain is having now a second in
dustrial revolution, based on nu-
clear energy, and that there are
great possibilities of greater and
closer trade relations with Mexico.
Eccles said he did not come here
to sign any treaty or agreement.
MY visit he declared is to
observe, and l believe there are
possibilities, which will be followed
by businessmen"
Eccles said the European free
market benefits Mexico and other
Latin American countries, because
1t will raise the standard of living
of European countries. He added
that imports from Latin America
will be unavoidably increased as
a consequence of the markets crea.
ton.
Eccles said the problem will be
carefully considered Jointly with
our allies, because it is a matter
concerning the whole free world.
