The United States. as well as the governments and leaders of many European and Latin American nations believe that President Duarte and his civilianmilitary junta are the best hope for El Salvador. the only viable moderate alternative between the warring factions of the extreme right and the extreme left. They are working for practical reforms in order to stabilize the country and implement democracy. Dr. Constantine C. Menges. a learned LatinAmerican scholar. postulates what would happen to the United States directly should El Salvador become a Cubalike Marxist dictatorship. or even a Nicaraguastyle Marxist government. It would seem beyond question that the same thing could. and likely would. happen in Guatemala and adversely affect Mexico. its neighbor. Great civil unrest in Mexico. let alone Marxist domination. would result in additional millions of refugees pouring into the United States.
