This movement, he said, is taking place in three ways. @ Direct investment of U.S. monopolies through U.S. en- terprises ® Investments in so-called mixed enterprises which, ac- cording to Mexican law can have no more than 49 per- cent foreign capital and at least 51 percent national capi- tal, although in practice the larger pare of the capital so invested belongs to U.S. cap- italists.
