CONTINUATION OFSECRETOSMA-21, 112ought to be in the place of work where he is able to do the most. "Until now, I have always done and have always gone where the revolution sent me... with my present limitation of criteria, I should not be here". He repeated his conviction that he is wasting his talents and doing nothing for Cuba in the position of Charge in comparison with what he could do elsewhere. "I believe that with which I am best able to serve my country is in the control of industry... I put myself in an industry and I see if things are being done well or if they are being done badly because I have knowledge and because I arrive at my conclusions through the accounting...look, here I am wasting my présence and my resources when I am able to be useful to production in another position."By the end of this 4 July report, RUIZ had exhausted all his combativeness and appeared very depressed.4. RUIZ is due for home leave in Havana the first part of August. There have been indications scattered throughout the QUDOZE and QUTIMID Reports of the last month or two that he might not return. The information given in Paragraph 3-D above seems to make this possibility even more likely and is a developement that Station Madrid will watch closely.5. The arguments ended inconclusively. Neither man could afford to carry the battle to the ultimate conclusion of an open break. GALLO has tried to make some pro-forma gestures acknowledging RUIZ as head of the Mission and RUIZ will soon be going on home leave. However, the former close association noted upon RUIZ's arrival is gone and they are more distant and cool. GALLO at one point in this same 4 July QUDOZE Report mentioned how he had looked forward to working with RUIZ and QUDOZE had shown an initially close working relationship between them with daily discussions of the problems of the Mission and the events of the day. Now, their relationship is cool, correct and business-like. The personalities of the two men have also come into sharper relief. RUIZ with his quick temper, shouted and used harsh course language and in the end got nowhere; GALLO did not raise his voice, although his language was no improvement over that of his boss, and tried to sound reasonable but never gave in an inch on any of the points over which they quarreled. In the end nothing was resolved except possibly to clear the air of some of the tension between the two men for in a 10 July QUDOZE Report, RUIZ was still complaining about GALLO's friendship with Emilio ROMERO and saying that GALLO only wanted to be out meeting people and not preparing written memos on his work!Jane D.

Comments of Cuban Charge d'Affaires in Madrid on VietnamACTION REQUIRED-REFERENCESA SPAIN MADRID CIT CUBA1. According to a QUDOZE Report of 17 February, the Cuban Charge d'Affaires in Madrid, Guillermo RUIZ Perez,   discussing the war in Vietnam with one of his subordinatės and commented that a Chinese general is driving the North American command mad. He added that this Chinese says that they failed the first time and can fail the second time but that in the end the victory will be theirs. He also added that Vietnam had been at war with the Chinese for thousands of years, that the Chinese have a demonic power that is their people.2. The nature of the QUDOZE Report does not permit further amplification of the above information which, even though fragmentary and obscure, is being forwarded for whatever use Headquarters may wish to make of it. Should any clarifying information appear in future QUDOZE reports, it will be forwarded. It is interesting to note that, although Station traces do not show the information, a previous QUDOZE Report quoted RUIZ as saying he had once been in North Vietnam as a member of a trade mission.Jane D.

On 10 January 1968, AMAUTO-1, in one of his many daily discussions with his subordinates, reflected on the international position of his country, and among the things he said, we quote the following which may be of possible interest to addressees. Although part of the discussion was not heard because of the emotional inflection of the speaker, we feel that the jist of the discussion is clear and understandable."We are demonstrating to the world that Cuba...is favorably disposed to do whatever... (AMAUTO-1 begins to talk against the United States) that when the Americans have to raise the white flag...because the first plane that appears on radar... (AMAUTO-1 is speaking excitedly and it is very difficult to understand each word but it appears that he is talking about the positions of missiles in Cuba), Havana, Las Villas and Camaguey and that with these missiles, we can cover Miami, New York, and all their bases and all of their "mierda"...if the Americans say they are going to sed them (missiles? planes?), we will send them; if they (Americans) say they are going to invade us, the first plane that comes to invade... (AMAUTO-l's subordinate remarked that 15 October 62 marked a point in international politics, when the Yankees ordered the Soviets to withdraw their missiles). .(AMAUTO-1 injected) "they (the Soviets) presented them (the Cubans) with ten bombs".2. Our reason for reporting this fragmentary information is that AMAUTO-1 might be confirming the presence of offensive missiles in Cuba.![signature of Howard R.

OSMA-23,413 of 19 January 1968B. OSMA-23,406 of 12 January 1968MICROFILMEDJAN 30 1963 1. When Guillermo RUIZ Perez, the new Cuban Charge met with the Cuban consuls following his arrival in Spain, the Result was a long meeting at which primary attention was given to administrative matters, trade and propaganda. The subject of propaganda will be dealt with in this dispatch.2. The Castro regime has always attached great importance to propaganda activities of all kinds and when the new Cuban Charge d'Affaires began to re-organize the work of his subordinates, propaganda matters were not overlooked. According to the QUDOZE and QUTIMID operations, the provincial consulates have been receiving four types of propaganda for distribution, two of which were identified. One was the propaganda put out by the organizations created by the Castro regime, for example "The Voice of Vietnam". The other is newspapers. PACHECO, Consul in Sevilla, mentioned Granma, which he claimed many people read, and added that lately he had been receiving Juventude Rebelde.3. RUIZ's ideas apparently go beyond hand-shaking and the distribution of propaganda. He asked the consuls to make a list of all the institutes and all the scientific centers in their territories including the special positions of these centers and any other relevant information. They are to use these lists to develop a systematic work plan of visiting each one, making friends, trying to obtain scholarships for Cuba, trying to obtain publications and propaganda of every type, free if possible or by subscriptionContinued ......Distribution:2 - C/WH Division2 - C/EUR Division2 - COS, JMWAVEGROUP IExcluded from AutomaticDowngrading and DeclassificationCROSS REFERENCE TODISPATCH SYMBOL AND NUMBERDATEOSMA-23,41519 January 1968CLASSIFICATIONHQS FILE NUMBERSECRET200-120-58

CONTINUATION OFDISPATCHSECRETOSMA-23,415if necessary. The consuls were told to go with the attitude of "looting".4. Even while he was laying these responsibilities on his consuls, RUIZ was busy within the Embassy. In discussions with Andres MARTINEZ, a Spanish employee who works on cultural matters and is responsible for publication of the Embassy bulletin, RUIZ mentioned that he is interested in offering Cuban documentaries to Spanish Cine (Movie) Clubs as they now have a large number, "an infinity", of documentaries showing both Cuban technical application and how the people live. RUIZ also asked to see copies of the Embassy bulletin and in the meantime suggested MARTINEZ do a bulletin drawing a parallel between Gibralter and Guantanamo. Finally, according to a QUDOZE report of 11 December 1967, Hector GALLO Portieles had been ordered to prepare a work plan for cultural activity. In this context cultural activity is not limited to art, music and literature but also includes public information media. The Cuban Embassy has already built up a series of press contacts over the past years and the Cuban Revolution seems to draw a ready response in Spanish intellectual circles as evidenced by the Spanish delegates attending the Cultural Congress held in Havana from 4-11 January 1968. An expense-paid trip is always attractive to be sure but the delegates, many of whom were not communists, were also sympathetic to the host. Accordingly, within the limits imposed by the Spanish government, Station Madrid expects an increase in the propaganda and political action activities of the Cuban official establishment.Jane D.
