Is governm ent incom petent? IN THE late eighties the Variety published a series of articles about the working and living conditions of foreigners in the Northern Marianas. Since that time there have been improvements in those conditions, but not enough to clear the Commonwealth’s image. Other reports have appeared not only in local papers but also in mainland publications regarding exploita­ tion of foreign workers here, particularly in the gar­ ment factories, which obviously attract more atten­ tion because they compete with factories in the United States. During a public hearing this week on a bill to establish a human rights commission Representa­ tive Herman T. Guerrero asked Felix Fitial, who testified in behalf of the Department of Commerce and Labor: “In your opinion, do we really have slave labor here?” Fitial said no, but Guerrero said there must be some truth to it. On both sides of the political spectrum, there are 6th. It’s too good a pasture to leave to Beaver.

The most scary aspect of trying to keep afloat on a sinking boat is that the crew often jump ship literally or resort to mutiny. Change is often a very uncomfort­ able phenomenon to deal with.

We must endure tem­ porary discomfort in the interest of returning accountability and gover­ nance to our governmental institu­ tions.

It might also prove to be Bush’s re­ venge if Clinton can’t rescue the agreement, which must be ratified by Dec. 31 or it will die. Among Democrats, the fasttrack vote in 1991 might have been high tide for NAFTA supporters. Demo­ crats lent 93 votes to the narrow victory margin that allowed the Bush administration to nail down the deal. But many of those Demo­ crats are gone now, replaced by feisty freshmen, many of whom ran r a n c e against the agreement last fall. When NAFTA comes down to the wire, the freshmen could become the mouse that roars. In political terms,Richardsonand other supporters have already writ­ s a l e ten off large chunks of the Demo­ cratic power base. In the 40-mem­ ber black caucus, for example, sup­ porters would be lucky to corral more than six or seven members willing to vote in favor, even with the side agreements. Among fresh­ men, many of whom signed on to a letter asking Clinton to postpone NAFTA until after health-care re­ form is over, Democratic members have batted around the notion of uniting as a group against the treaty. Either way, few freshmen are ex­ pected to support Clinton. “The biggest thing to happen to 1993 Toyota Tercels this agreement is the election of the freshman class,” Rep. Collin C.

He 1993 Toyota Previa can’t win, and he’s going to alien­ ate the only friends he has left.” By Peterson’s unofficial count, 172 out of 267 Democrats stand against the agreement, while 48 are pledged to support it. The rest are undecided or have not responded. Among Republicans, an informal head count estimates that at least 50 members are leaning or are solidly against the agreement. Richardson believes at least 80 percent of Re­ publicans have to support the mea­ sure for it to pass.

•continued from page 10 meeting is nothing if wc closely follow the wishes of Representa­ tive Juan N. Babauta. He should not use his political debacles and seek personal aggrandizement, dis­ regarding the people of the CNMI and its leaders. What he did is unauthorized and utterly disregard­ ing the wishes of the people, the governor and the legislative bodies of CNMI. There is nothing in the CNMI Constitution that states that a Wash­ ington representative is authorized to do whatever he wishes without asking the consent of the people, the governor and the Legislature. Representative Juan N. Babauta is going overboard. He should put aside personal feelings and should act like a gentleman and should protect the interest of the CNMI. If he cannot do so, he should bow out from his position, knowing that he rannot deal with the Democratic majority in the US. The CNMI people should censor him for being disrespectful. He should remem­ ber that the people elected him and he should refer all matters to the people of the CNMI before taking unilateral action, just because of his wounded pride. We should remember that CNMI Labor De­ partment is not fortified with finan­ cial assistance by our Legislature to police and rectify labor problems. He badmouthed our Immigration previously and now he is badmouthing our Labor Depart­ ment. Labor and Immigration Reach Out should not be the whipping boys of Representative Babauta just be­ cause he cannot whip Governor Lorenzo Guerrero. Representative Babauta should take defeat gracefully. Marianas’ Only Locally Owned Long-Distance Telephone Company
