49. Today our people are waging war on under-development with the same spirit, indomitable will and determination to triumph as has always inspired the martyrs of our glorious past. Men and women are at this moment making brave efforts to boost the country’s economy. On the basis of an appropriate analysis of the characteristics of Cuba at its present stage, the revolutionary Government has laid down the basic guidelines fur development at this stage in terms of a rapid increase in agricultural and stock-farming production, and the bulk of our resources are being devoted to that end. Both the figures achieved and the immediate projections of our agricultural and stock-farming development bespeak the soundness of the policy pursued and the success of the people’s work.
