Northrop Speaks At Current Events
On Growing Mexican Industrialization

An underdeveloped country is
faced with a dilemma like the

problem of “Which comes first, the}

chicken or’ the egg?” Mexico, a
country only beginning to develop
industrially, was the topic o1 a*talk
by Miss - Northrop in Current
Events on Monday, January 4.

With a lack of demand forscap-
ital goods and services, and a lack,
of capital, which helps to cause
this lack of demand, it is difficult
for her to ‘begin to grow econom-
ically.

Despite this, Mexico js in the
process of developing. How she is
trying to improve her conditions,
as-well-as the result of her~—at-
tempt, was: the problem Miss Nor-
throp discussed.

Basically, Mexico has three vital
necessities: One of these is the
development of:an educational sys-
tem. “Agricultural-education is. not
enough; more than that must. be
provided in order for the Mexicans
to be able to develop their indus-
tries and to keep them in, native
hands.

Industrialization

‘ Credit. facilities must be. creat-

ed, although, says Miss Northrop,
that is not being planned or work-.

ed on for the immediate future

To develop any country good
roads and transportation are need-
ed to make available market facil-
ities. In Mexico many communi-
ties are isolated and untouched iby
twentieth © century “givilization.
Wherever roads have been built an
immediate cKange takes place and
advancement begins. ‘

Attempts: to fulfill these needs
and improve the _situation- have
naturally been: made. Despite the
above problems, industrialization
has been improving since the ’30s.
Textiles, which was the first real
industry in Mexico, was developed
during this period along with many
other types of manufacturing.
World War II created a demand



that these industries could not ac
commodate because of their lack of
facilities and capital goods.

Since. the war new plants have|°
been built up. Much of this is due

to direct ‘investment “‘from- foreign|’

owned corporations. Such Ameri-
can companies as General Electric,
Sears-Roebuck, and, the ever pres
ent Coca-Cola are tobe seen all
over Mexico.

This country has had its agricul-
tural revolution and land reform.
The revolution, (1910 to 1920) cre-
ated an unstable government until
the mid-thirties when Cardinez
came into power and parcelled out
big land holdings to the peasants.

Aims and Effects -

The aim of all this development
is to raise the standard of living
of the people. The government is
providing-more ‘public-services —-It
is building roads, developing hydro-
électric plants, increasing telephone

connections and taking care. ‘of

water supplies and irrigation. The
last.is-of vital concern -in Mexico,
an arid country.

_ It is interesting to note that
with ‘this reform the ‘church has
lost its:political power. and much
of its land wealth, and the govern-
ment has obtained increased econ-
omic control. Labor unions also
have naturally sprung up with the
increase of manufacturing, and
have gained in political influence

report goes on to say, “makes it

seem that beyond selective admis-

sions are factors directly related
to size — probably the close asso-
ciation of “faculty and students
which may characterize the small
institution and more gerierally the
experience of the student ‘in the
small working community.”

“Insofar as this evidence goes
then,” the report continues, “care-

ful attention on a country-wide

extraordinary,” exclaimed Mr.
Bowles, “yet she has just begun.”

He pointed out, however, that
India must initiate a program that
will demonstrate tangible year to

year results to the “common “vil- —

lager. This is being accomplished

through malaria control, increased
education and land reforms.

. “The people must be taught to
help ‘themselves,” emphasized Mr;
Bowles. ‘“Aid-must come from the
grass roots, for only when at-
tempting a projeet in its own right
will the people accomplish some-
thing. One is excited and opti-
mistic when looking at’what Asian
people are doing; but sobered when
looking at the distance left to go.”

The economic future of India re-
mains a question mark. In six
months when Nehru will run for
re-election, the democracy-totali-
tarian paradox. may reach _ its
height. At any ‘rate, it is quite
certain that should Nehru be de-
feated, the Five Year Plan will dis-
integrate; with it will go the
forces that are at work to estab-
lish India as a well developed dem-
ocracy, -eccnumiically' stable, and
financially sound.
