Reagan, with Secretary of State Alexander Haig, Treasury Secret ary Donald Regan and Vice Presi dent George Bush at his side, read a prepared statement on the South Lawn of the White House as a Marine helicopter waited to take him to Andrews Air Force Base for the flight to Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Reagan will be among 17 heads of state attending the conference, which he called “a unique under taking in world affairs.” An aide said the president would attempt to see the heads of all 21 other delegations. “Our message in Cancun will be clear,” he said. “The road to pros perity and human fulfillment is lighted by economic freedom and individual incentive.” He said establishment of a strong domestic and world eco nomy is a top priority of his admi nistration and vital to peace and stability. “But we go to Cancun with no illusions,” he said. “The problems of hunger and poverty are severe and deeply rooted. They cannot be solved overnight.” The president, in an indirect swipe at suggestions by France’s Socialist government that the de veloped nations must share their wealth with the Third World, said massive transfers of wealth will not produce new well-being. Reagan said he was not expect ing a hostile reception at Cancun as he had earlier indicated. The United States, he said, will renew its commitment to be a partner in efforts to achieve more effective cooperation to help de veloping countries achieve grea ter self-sustaining growth. “With cooperation and good will, this summit can be more than just another shattered dream,” Reagan said. “It can be the begin ning of new hope and a better life for all.” The 22 nations meeting in Can cun represent two-thirds of the world’s population and control three-fourths of the world’s wealth. French President Francois Mit terrand and other world leaders contend the rich countries must be prepared to share their pros perity through a massive transfer of wealth to developing nations. Many of the leaders attending the North-South summit believe Reagan’s economic “bootstrap views regarding poor countries are unrealistic and out of tune with the times. the incentive method in a marketplace.” While in Cancun, Reagan plilj to have private sessions withaj dozen or so third world leadenj five of them following his arriva Mexico Wednesday.

Turning sales over to private enterprise will improve service and make it more convenient for farmers, the FCIC said. Officials said private agents’ offices often will be closer to farmers than one of the 148 offices or county offices of the department. Wayne Fletcher, head of FCIC, said farmers can select their own agents to handle their federal crop insurance. If they do not, the FCIC will assign insur ance files to local crop insurance agents, though farmers will be able to change agents. The administration is in the process of expanding the federal crop insurance program to cover all risks for all major crops.
