ELECTIONS ,DEMOCRACY ,PROPAGANDA ,ARMIES ,FINANCIAL crises - Abstract
The article presents information on the country of Mexico. The followers of Avila Camacho and Almazan were equally emphatic that they won the election by large majorities. In a country which is in process of revolution, and in which democracy is not yet the universal habit of mind, election results are not, and should not be, the basis of judgment. Whatever may be the volume of public support that Almazan possesses, it is certain that he has large funds, great propaganda resources, and powerful friends in the army, and that he himself is an able man. His followers hope to profit by the present severe economic crisis in Mexico, which they attribute to the revolutionary policy of the government.

DEMOCRACY ,POLITICAL doctrines ,LIBERALISM - Abstract
The article presents information on various developments related to Latin America. The November counter-revolution in Venezuela is the Concern of every American. Its threat and its lesson to all have an importance that carries beyond the frontiers of any republic. To judge it, one need not be an expert in the politics of Venezuela. Until these truths become self-evident from Mexico to Argentina, there is no hope for democracy in Latin America. Liberals and radicals are far too prone to throw up our hands in virtuous horror at the military wave rising over Latin America, and to stop at that.

8. Down Mexico Way.
- Subjects
COMMERCIAL treaties ,FREE trade ,LABOR laws ,ENVIRONMENTAL protection ,DEMOCRACY ,INTERNATIONAL economic relations - Abstract
The article discusses how the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) between the U.S., Mexico and Canada will act as the transforming catalyst of Mexico's economy and society. NAFTA will lock in Mexico's liberalizing reforms, raise standards of labor, health, and environmental protection, and pave the way for real democracy. But most observers believe that these reforms are entrenched anyway. A professor believes that the economic reforms were largely inevitable. To sum up, NAFTA would benefit the government. Whether it would on balance benefit Mexico depends on whether it becomes primarily a free-trade deal or an engine of regulation.
