Camacho lauds Chinese ban billBy Rafael H ArroyoVariety News Staff

FORMER Governor Carlos S.Camacho has thrown his sup­port for the governor's proposalto impose a moratorium onworkers from mainland Chinaas a first step towards address­ing the labor situation in theCommonwealth.

In a press statement he issuedover the weekend, the firstCNMI chief executive airedcon­cern about labor problems in theislands andasked that local lead­ers put aside differences to ad­dress them.

He claimed truth to concernshe had raised during his term asgovernor on the alien labor la­bor problems the Common­wealth will be experiencing inthe years ahead.

"In my inauguration speechas the first governor of theCNMI, I warned about the prob­lems that growing dependenceon a large pool of foreign laborwould produce in thefuture. Thefuture is now and 1amsad to saythat my warnings were un­heeded," Camacho said.

According to the former gov­ernor, problems concerning la­bor have been caused by "self­isb and greedy interest groups"that have demanded and createddependence on cheap and easilycontrollable foreign labor.

Noting how labor problemshad damaged the local cultureand the islands' image, he seesthe proposed ban on workersfrom People'sRepublic of Chinaas asmall beginning to correct­ing the problems.

"I feel strongly that workersfrom PROC be banned until andunless the abuses of these Chi­nese workers by their own gov­ernment cease," said the formerchief executive.

Camacho's sentiments echoedthe concerns recently raised byincumbent Governor Froilan C.Tenorio on the continued influxof workers from the most popu­lous country in the world.

Theproposal toeffect a workerban from PROC came last weekafter Tenorio took note of theincreased likelihood of a laborsituation being blown beyondthe control of CNMI local gov­ernment.

In submitting his proposed billto the Legislature, the governorexpressed worry that thesework­ers are particularly vulnerableto abuses, due to the politicalsituation in their home country.

He said many of these work­ers must work under foremenand supervisors who are mem­bers of the Chinese CommunistParty, making it almost impos­sible for them to complain, nomatter how badly they may bemistreated.

In airing his support for thebill, former Governor Camachosaid a Chinese worker banshould be a good idea, appar­ently of the belief that their pres­ence in the CNMI could be aliability in terms of the abusethey may allow themselves tobe subjected to.

DEMoCRAi!

A Taxpayer's DilemmaThe conservative view of "pay as you go" has

become utopian at best, beyond thereach ofmostpeopleat worse. It is a healthy concept which promotes thenotion that"welive within ourmeans". But,itmay haverunoutoffuel both atthenational level andhereathome.II works well inrunning aprivate business, buteven thatis suspect The obvious query is whether this sameprinciple ought tobefinancial bible ofourgovernmentin itsquest to stem deficit spending?

II iseasy tovolunteer ananswer intheaffmnative.But then we leave the entire issue in the hands ofgovernment managers asthough we(taxpayers) havenopart in it It is this complacency that I find mosttroublesome, It is well andgood thatweall detest andslam the brakes on wasteful spending. But the moreimportant question is: Do wereally have theresolve todownsize governmentexpenditure through attrition anddissolution ofentitlement programs? This isa:=QueI)' that isreally the reswnsibility ofeven:~ Your decision in this regard is used as the verypremise upon which government decides the sizeofgovernment andlevel of expenditure.

Weassociate theterm"deficit"with everything thatis evil in government How unfortunate that often weforce deficitspending upon ourgovernment because notonlydowewant ourcake, butwant toeatittoo. Inotherwords, while weyell the loudest against deficit spend­ing, we're the first to exit the kitchen when facedsquarely with theresponsibility to make thehard deci­sion todownsize the number ofgovernment employeesorsocial programs or both. This is where a taxDilyer'sviewwintisputtoa lest. You can'thave more ofthis forless ofwhat you payfor byway ofincome tax, Friends,you can't have it both ways. Thegolden days of freepublic services, i.e., education, health, water, power,sewer, etc., is now in the ashheap of history.

The assertion that this conservative view (pay asyou go)has runoutoffuel ispremised inthefact that thiscommunity is far from what you'd call "affluent".People have long agoopened credit accounts in momandpopstores in order to putfood on the dinner table.We'veadopted the "creditculture"-borrowing in ad­vance of ourbiweekly to biweekly r>aychecks-out ofnecessity. This was forced upon us by theshift fromsubsistence toa money economy. It isdeeply rooted inourway oflife what with the introduction ofthe"creditcard culture" from the west, I suppose it's theconve­nience and meeting family needs (inadvance) that wehave accepted the new "credit orcredit card culture" asa way of life.

What needs to be understood though is that theCNMI Government is the people-you and l-there­fore,. there' ~ noescaping.when faced with deciding whatpublicservices do we WIsh toreceive from it. Itmeanspaying dearly for it with our tax contributions. Lessgovernment simply means less taxes and by thesametoken, biggovernment means more taxes. How unfor­lunate thatwe'velearned to expand government, a ITGovernment legacy that will be difficult to tame.

WASIDNGTON MERRY-GO-ROUND

Babbitt is besiegedon Capitol HillWASHINGTON-In the waning hours of his 18-year Senatecareer, retiring Sen. Malcolm Wallop, R-Wyo., got Interior Sec­retary Bruce Babbitt kicked off the Senate floor. It was the latestskirmish in what might be called the -war for the- West."

The pugnaciously partisan Wallop, who once accused Babbittof advocating "socialistic and communistic" environmental re­forms, spotted his nemesis on the Senate floor as the GOP wasfilibustering a bill to protect the California desert. Wallop wastedlittle time speaking up: "There is someone on the floor who is notauthorized."

Babbitt, who had dropped in to watch the debate on the bill, leftthe chamber unceremoniously, even though Senate rules grantfloor privileges to all cabinet members. After being reminded ofhis privilege by the sergeant-at-arms, Babbitt returned to thechamber a few minutes later.

Though the desert bill eventually passed, Wallop's commenthelps illustrate just how personal and nasty the battle has becomebetween Babbitt and conservatives on Capitol Hill.

So far, the right-wing is winning most of the battles. in twoyears at Interior, Babbitt has forged sensible compromises overonce-intractable issues such as restoration of the Florida Ever­glades and the owls-vs.jobs dilemma in the Pacific Northwest.Yet Wallop and other Western lawmakers have managed to paintBabbitt as a "green" version of former Interior Secretary JamesWatt: A wild-eyed environmentalist who is trying to shut downcommerce in the 11 Western states by turning them into a bigriational park. This caricature has passed for campaign dialogue inmany political races.

Although Babbitt has a scientist's grasp of complex ecologicalsystems, it's taken him considerable time to master the Washing­ton foodchain. He has confessed to administration officials that heunderestimated the decentralized nature of congressional deci­sion-making. He's confided to friends that he arrived at his jobthinking congressional leaders could deliver majorities for legis­lation, only to be told by the leadership that he was on his own.These days, Babbitt arms himself with a "vote sheet" for every bigissue and recently quipped to staffers: ''I'm just like a corporatelobbyist but don't have a lot more standing in terms of the abilityto get things done."

Grazing and mining reform are two things the Clintonadminis­tration has failed to get done. Both deal as much with equity aswith ecology. Babbitt was forced to scale back 'a plan to raisegrazing fees paid by ranchers who run livestock over 280 millionacres of federal land. Westerners filibustered the plan to deathduring the early weeks of the Clinton administration.

Federal grazing fees are about one-fifth of those charged graz­ers on private land. The beneficiaries are not the mythical indi­vidualists who came west to tame the frontier. They arc mostlyagribusiness and multinational corporations that enjoy a subsidythat costs taxpayers an estimated $50 million annually. Thecorporate permit holders for federal grazing land include Getty,Texaco, Metropolitan Life, and Zenchiku Land and Livestock ofJapan.

Mining reform was once a keystone of the Clinton environmen­tal agenda, but it too died after repeated attacks by Republicans.Under an 1872law that's still on the books, mining companies canstrip billions of dollars of ore from public lands while payingtaxpayers a pittance and leaving behind polluted rivers. Onceagain the prime beneficiaries are often multinational corpora"tions: Of the top 40 companies extracting minerals from publicland, 23 are largely controlled by foreign interests.

After a Canadian-based firm landed a claim worth more than$10 billion with less than a $10,000 return to the U.S. Treasury,Babbitt called it "the biggest gold heist since the days of ButchCassidy."

On both grazing and mining reform, Babbitt has been stymiedby the stalwarts of fiscal conservatism who love to lament the'culture of welfare" in the inner cities. Wallop, a fiscal conserva­tive who favors the balanced budget amendment, made a stirringspeech on entitlement reform last summer in which he called forending "the fantasy that individuals and groups of Americans have aright to-are entitled to- the benefits financed by federal tax rev­enue."

Babbitt's assault on the time-honored entitlement of below-marketgrazing fees and mininggiveaways is what's really lurking behind theso-called"war for the West."

Republican leaders may blockKorea nuclear accord -- report

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 28,1994 .MARIANAS VARIETY NEWS AND VIEWS-II

Aborted Cambodian crusade a success

NEW YORK (AP) - Republi­can leaders in the U.S. Senatewill seek to overturn the Clintonadministration's nuclear accordwith North Korea by withhold­ing funds to carry it out, anews­paper reported Sunday.

Republican senators said ininterviews with The New YorkTimes that they were upset that$4 billion in international aidhad been promised to NorthKorea to build nuclear reactorseven though the Communistnation was not expected to per­mit inspections of several of itsnuclear sites for five years.

Japan and South Korea areexpected to provide most of themoneytohelp NorthKorea buildlight-water nuclear reactors. Itis harder to extract plutoniumfor use in nuclear weapons fromsuch reactors.

Underthe October agreement,the United States was expectedto spend tens of millions of dol­lars toprovide North Korea withoil until the reactors are buill.

But Sen. Frank Murkowski ofAlaska, who is likely to becomethe chairman of the Senate sub­committee on East Asian affairswhen the new Republican-con­trolled Congress is seated inJanuary, said he would try toblock U.S. funding for the oilpurchase.

"I don't support theAdministration's concessions,which I find totally unaccept­able," Murkowski told theTimes. "We have given awaythe store. I don't know whatwe've gotten in return other thanpromises."
