fortnight'sAGAIN:developments on the human rights situation warrant a further note.(1)You should ignore the confusing bombast which Reagan aides are dis-UNDERREAGAN?seminating in Latin America on the subject.They should not be touringthe area,however assured they feel of their place in the new administra-tion,since there is an abundance of confusion already,and also  \nbecause if the quality of Mr.Reagan's advisers on other subjects is not higher thanis being displayed on the Latin American subject,it is unlikely that Mr.Reagan wi11reach the White House.  \n(2)That is to say,no improvement in clarity of thinking is indicatedas yet.And when you consider the deteriorating situation achievedCARTER POLICYby Carter policles,that is a dismal thought.On August 4,DeputyON ELSecretary of State Christopher told the American Bar Association thatSALVADOR:\"we are supporting the government of E1 Salvador and its reforms to\"A LITTLEavoid a full-scale civil war.\"And the Senate Foreign RelationsKNOW-NOTHING OFCommittee had identified our Ambassador as the pro-consul.A COUNTRY\"  \nWhen the Carter appointee heading the Overseas Private InvestmentCorporation which insures investors against risks,in an interview withMulti-national Monitor,was asked why projects in E1 Salvador had been turned down whenthe government of E1 Salvador was involved,he explained that the underlying principlewas to avoid helping the government unless it altered the manner in which it treatedthe people.Then he went on quite correctly to protest the selectivity of the humanrights policy of the U.S.Government,protesting the failure to act against SouthAfrica as against the readiness to pounce upon the Salvadoreans just because E1Salvador lacks the capacity to hurt us.His term,\"a little know-nothing of a country\"was perhaps unfortunate but the issue to which he was addressing himself,theselectivity of human rights policy,surely is central  \nThe selectivity of human rights policy is not 1imited to the UnitedStates,of course.No more pious and virtuous defender of human rightsand protester against other nations'handling of human rights can be foundthan the Colombian Government.Yet,now its turn has come。AmnestyInternational has publicized that the Colombian Government is guiltyof torture of the political opposition,especially peasants and tradeunionists.The President of Colombia has replied by blasting AmnestyInternational as \"an instrument of the terrorists.\"  \nNEW  \nEXPERIENCE  \nFOR  \nCOLOMBIA  \n1  \nComing at a time when Colombia is announcing plans to expand tradewith a desperate Cuba where human rights have long ago disappeared,andat a tine when Forbes Magazine in its expose of organized crime(the mob)is reminding its readers that \"some law enforcement people will tell youthat the mob even controls whole countries -Colombia,for example,\"it  \nmay be that the Colombian Government will now show more sympathy for countries whichhave had the misfortune to capture international attention earlier.  \nThe same Amnesty International,for instance,is accusing the BritishCHILEANGovernment of misleading the British public by withholding
