Register by Oc Jamaican prime minister Democratic act fnr r.arihhean R W U w IMr Mr v %| B Mi By Johnny Boggs Liberal democracy cannot be passive, Prime Minister Edward Seaga of Jamaica said last night. Speaking in the Russell House Ballroom at USC as part of a symposium on The Security of the Democratic World,.Seaga said in today's world, it is hard to stay in the middle. "In an irrational world, it is very difficult to popularize the middle ground ? the center between extremes on which the rational man rests," Seaga said. "WHO WILL capture the world's imagination for the politics of moderation? Are we doomed to have to choose between the Gairy's and the Bishops, between the Batistas and the Castros, between the Samozas and the Sandinistas? "It is my view that liberal democracy cannot afford to be passive in a world which confronts it with powerful secular belief systems. It needs to develop a kind of democratic activism of its own, which is fed and inspired by ideas defined in terms relevant to the times." Democracy, Seaga said, has survived in the Caribbean because its alternative has failed "to increase the prosperity of its citizens to a degree that matches, quite frankly, the expectations of those of the majority of Caribbean countries." If the expectations are postponed, Seaga warned, the result could lead to "the embrace of radical policies." ^1 I I v - M Serve HffiT ^ It JLrS m a H YOU i FINALLY READING TIME FAST AND 5 fober 22nd 1983. says ivism needed acin'Q cnnm/al H U gui ?1 VUI PART OF the problem in Central America has been a lack of development, Seaga said. The enactment of the Caribbean Basin Initiative has helped in this area, he said. The CBI allows Caribbean countries to earn foreign exchange through exports, but Seaga said more is needed. "The CBI is not going to solve all of the Caribbean's problems," he said. "But it will give usttheopportunity to expand our productive base and to earn the foreign exchange needed for development." Central America needs help from western democracies, Seaga said. "CENTRAL AMERICA has suffered the consequences of rigid social and political systems which have entrenched injustices and perpetuated intolerable economic inequities," he said. ?4TI 1*1 1 J ! f \\ r A 1 inc uoerai uemucracies 01 tne wesi, ana certainly those in this region, have a responsibility to support the struggling democratic initiatives now appearing in Central America." Seaga concluded his speech pleading for the "need to liberate the democratic values from silence and apathy. "There is no reason why we should be ashamed to promote the humanist traditions which are the wellspring of our system." SEAGA WAS elected prime minister on Oct. 30, 1980, when Jamaica was in deep economic trouble.
