62. Thus artificially are pretexts for aggression fabricated in advance, just as attempts are made to use as a pretext for aggression the alleged possibility that Cuba may attempt, by force or by arms, to take over the territory occupied. by the United States naval base at Guantanamo. We have indeed more than once asserted our right to recover this territory, which was taken from us by coercion and force on the occasion of intervention by the United States. Even international conferences, such as the Belgrade Conference have expressly recognized this right of ours to recover the territory in question. 63. We are also aware of the use being made of that naval base at the present time. It is being used to recruit and train counter-revolutionaries, to carry out acts of provocation against our military posts at the frontier, to affront our citizens and to infiltrate into our territory agents of subversion, conspiracy and espionage.
