MEXICO CITY Reassured that its health has never been better, Mexico is lightheartedlv preparing to w'hoop it up this month to celebrate the 150th anniversary of its War of Independence. The news that all is well and likely to be better was delivered last week by President Adolfo Lopez Mateos in his annual or State of the Nation address, at the opening of Congress. From start to finish, his three-hour speech was a recitation of triumphs of the past year.

He was given a standing ovation when he announced the nationalization of the electric industry, and again when he announced sweeping new concepts in land reform. He was also applauded at length when he reiterated position of "sympathy over the legitimate aspirations of political, social, and economic improvements w'hich the people of at the same time backing the recent OAS resolution that condemns intervention by in this Hemisphere. "Mexico will awlays oppose such he said. IIE MADE only slight reference to recent disorders w'hich the government has said were Communist-inspired. The youth, he said, "does not always appreciate or evaluate the efforts of preceding generations.

There is an understandable restlessness in youths to participate in national life, but some of these aspirations are expressions of adolescence and are erroneously directed against revolutionary ideals or are promoted by the struggles of distant and different Lopez Mateos proudly noted that gold now stand at a high $424,600,000, with an additional record of $345,000,000 in foreign credits, all guaranteeing a stable Mexican peso. Tbe president announced intention to nationalize the electric after disclosing the purchase of almost all of the stock of the Mexican Light Powder Co. Through international banks, the government the then-unidentified buyer of 95 per cent of common stock and 73 per cent of its preferred stock. Mexlight was a Canada-based firm owmed by American and European interests. It w'as the largest private electric company in Mexico, turning out 585,000 or more than one-fifth of the total.

The government officially takes it over on Sept. 27. OPEZ MATEOS said he would ask for an amendment to the Constitution to forbid the granting of electric franchises to "individuals or private companies Thus, in his words, Mexico "will be the sole proprietor of a vital source of energy for future The first step in electricity was taken last April, when the government bought out American and Foreign Power Co. holdings here. The Mexlight purchase means that all electrical workers in Mexico automatically become government employees.

This in turn means that they will be hard put, for patriotic reasons, to continue their periodic wage demands that in the past have set off unrest in other labor camps. In the section of his speech devoted to agrarian reform, the president promised that the government would forthwith enforce the concept that the land belongs to the man w'ho it, a statement taken by some obsen'ers to mean that he plans to increase the parcelling out of land to small farmers. In his 21 months in office, Lopez Mateos has alreadv distributed nearly 8,000,000 acres, a record for any administration. tlE SAID rate of economic growth reached seven per cent this year, well ahead of its whopping population increase of 3 4 per cent. "It up to all of us to continue he told the listening population, "toward our inevitable national greatness BATON ROUGE, La.
