AMSCROLL Quarterly Progress Report

30 September 1967
Please pouch additional information about the
proposed development of "the new AMFRAME organization" in
order to enable Hoadquarters to determine if there is any
conflict with the intent of the LNLOFT action approving
the termination of AMSCROLL.
2. As you may recall, it was originally thought that
distribution of economic data might be handled by AMHIM,
after termination of ANSCROLL, possibly by creation of an
AMHIM économic desk staffed by former AMSCROLL employees.
In any event, neither Headquarters nor LNLOFT anticipated
that the termination of one organization would be followod
by development of another conducting the same operational
activities. On the contrary, our presentation to LNLOFT
emphasized further reductions of organizational support.
3.
In addition to a detailed description of the
proposed organization and related administrative and operational
cost estimates, please forward more information about plans
for distribution of the new series.

1. Station JAWAVE forwards by soparate cover material that we be-
lieve 
will 
be useful por paragraph 1.A. of reference A. Wo are forward-
ing only the basic 
material from which Santiago can make selections and
can re-work into 
any desired format. Included is a collection of AMSCROLL
economic studies which heavily emphasizes and documents Cuban mismanage-
mont of its 
sugar industry-which of course is Cuba's principle source of
foreign 
currency. In addition, there are analyses of other foreign trade
problems such as the 
difficulties in obtaining adequate shipping, problems
with products other 
than sugar sent to Canada and Zurope for sale, as well
as internal 
production and distribution difficulties. Also included are
the texts of 
statements to the press given by senior defectors from the
Cuban 
regime who were surfaced by the AMSCROLL organization. All of those
statements 
discuss, often in considerable detail, the economic problems
facing 
Cuba with which these individuals wore personally knowledgeable.
Also included 
is a folder concerning studios of Free World shipping with
Cuba.
2. Though some of this material has been released to the press and
all of it provided to AMSCHOLL's mailing list of commercial, shipping,
and financial 
firms that are interested in or are dealing with Cuban com-
mercial organizations, it is accurate to say that this material has not
[received widespread publicity and therefore we believe that it should be
helpful for your purposos. For the immediato future we will air mail
additional 
information of this kind to Santiago's overt mailing address
as such items come to our attention.
3. Santiago may or may not attribute these studies to ANSCROLL as
it wishes.

"UNIDAD" MONTHLY, USSUE No. 39, JULY, 1967.
FRONT PAGE:
a) RUSSIA PENETRATES ARABS' OIL MARKETS: A complete re-print of our own news release
on Soviet offers of oil to Spain, Great Britain, Switzerland, and other free-world
countries. This is related to Soviet resales of Cuban sugar.in the free world mar-
ket, which provides the USSR with some hard currency at the expense of Cuba.
PAGE TWO:
a) CURA: FIRST TERRITORY OF THE AMERICAS THAT DEPENDS ON THE USSR:
The nerve of the Reds, who claim that Quba is the first "free" territory of the
Americas. Cuba is, in fact, the first territory of the Americas that depends al-
most completely on the Soviet Union, economically speaking.
Economic dependency
can be illustrated in terms of foreign trade, and Cuba's trade with the Soviet Bloc
has increased as follows: Exports, from 2.2% in 1959 to 80% in 1966; Imports, from
0.1% in 1959 to 78.6% in 1966. Cuba has also mortgaged her sugar production to the
Soviets, and, as a result from this dependency, has lost her trading power in the
free-world mrket, thus becoming still more dependent of the Soviet Bloc. No wonder
Kosygin travelled to Cuba to scold his bearded puppet.
b) CARTOON: Sign reading "Arab boycott" is hung on Arab's oil pump, while the Russian
happily collects from a free-world customer the price of the oil he has just sold
him.
PAGE THREE:
a) Continuation of front-page story on Soviet penetration of Arab oil market.
b) A MESSAGE TO THE MANAGEMENT OF THE "ECUADOR" SUGAR MILL: We take the problems faced
by the "Ecuador", as outlined in the EIR, and ask the management of the mill whether
they have been able to solve each and everyone of those problems.

no ha perdido tiempo en pene-

por la actual dislocación del
mercado petrolero de las na-
ciones árabes en Europa. Exis

Primero: La LRSS ha con
venido en enviar un millón de
barriles adicionales de petró-
leo soviético a Esjuña, además
de los 3.5 millones de barriles
contratados con anterioridad a
la crisis del Medio Oriente.
Los soviéticos no sólo ofre-
cieron suministrar productos
petroleros, sino también los
buques-tanque para transpor
tarlos. Es más, hemos sido
informados de que un buque
tanque italiano de 40,000 to
neladas estaba ya en el puer-
to de Tuapse, URSS. en cl
Mar Negro, tomando a bordo
el petróleo que conduciría a
España.
Segundo: La Junta de

solicitado autorización

tico desde el inicio de la cri-
mis del Medio Oriente. En el
caso de là Imperial Chemient

Tercero: Fuentes situn

dental informan que los consu-
midores de petróleo en ambos
paises han recibido ofertas de
los vendedores soviéticos del
producto. Como en el caso de
España, los soviéticos están
ofreciendo los productos del
petróleo y los buques para
transportarlos.
Mientras esto ocurría, y
mientras el Premier Soviétien
acusaba a Israel de agresión
ante la Asamblea General de
la O.N.H., recabando que se
condenara a la nación judia,
la Unión Soviética megnia nu-
ministrando petróleo a Israel,
que
Es bien conocido du-
rante los últimos años las na-
ciones de Europa Decidental
han estado aumentando sus im-
portaciones de petróleo sović-
tico a costa de los países ára-
bes. Los soviéticos, en cada
caso, han intentado maniobrar
para desplazar a sus "alindos"
Árabes mediante el expediente
de vender el petróleo a precios
más bajos, En época tan re-
ciente como 1963, la Europa
Occidental no importaba pr-
íróleo alguno de la Unión So-
viética. En 1965, el 7% del
petróleo destinado a la Europa
Occidental procedía de la
URSS, y durante esos dos año
(1963-1965) la pérdida de mer-
cados por parte de los países
árabes en Europa Occidental
fue de un 4% (al 51%). Dicha
tendencia continúa, ya que las
exportaciones totales de petró-
leo soviético aumentaron de
838.000 barriles diarios en
1965 a 933.000 barriles diários
en 1966, calculándose que ac
tualmente ascienden
1,000.000 de barriles diarion.
Además de España, Gran Bre
taña, Suiza, y Alemania Deri
dental, la Unión Soviética
cuenta entre sus principales
clientes a falia Francia y los
puises escandinavos.
Así, pues, como vemos

CUBA: PRIMER TERRITORIO ECONOMICAMENTE
DEPENDIENTE DE LA URSS EN AMERICA
Dicen los comunistas que
Ce "el primer territorio
Titre de America", y que se ha
and pendizado" del poderio
etonómico de las grandes po-
tencias. La realidad, empero,
es totalmente la contraria.
En efecto, Cuba depende
hoy día de la Unión Soviética y
de sus demás satélites comu-
mistas como no dependió ja-
más de ningún otro país o gru-
po de paises.
La dependencia económi-
ca de un pais con respecto de
stro se puede medir en función
del comercio entre ambos, yz
que dicho comercio indica has-
ta que punto el uno necesita
bel otro como mercado para
sus exportaciones y como fuen-
te de abastecimiento de sus
importationes.
Pues bien, en el caso de
Cuba y el bloque soviético,
las exportaciones de nuestra
patria hacia Rusia y sus saté-
tes han aumentado del 2.2%
1959 al 80% en 1965. En
parecida forma, las importa-
ciones que recibe Cuba proce-
Pentes de bloque soviético han
aumentado de un 0.1% en 1959
38.6% en 1966.
Los números no mienten. esos convenios comerciales
Y los números arrojan la ver- reciba metálico alguno.
dad irrefutable de que, duran-
te 8 años de dominación comu-
nista, nuestra infortunada Isla
se ha hecho cada vez más de-
pendiente de la metrópoli ru-
sa, estrechándose cada día
más las ligaduras de dicha de-
pendencia.
Por si todo esto fuera po-
co, Cuba le ha hipotecado a la
URSS su producción azucarera..
Cuba, también, ha agota-
do sus reservas de divisas,
calculandose que en 1964 ape-
has excedian éstas de la irri-
soria cifra de $20 millones.
Como consecuencia de
esta falta total de divisas, Cu
bajno puede comerciar más que
con los paises comunistas, ya

En el período comprendi
do entre los años 1963 y 1966,
Cuba sufrió un déficit de .
$1,132,000.000 en su comer-
cio con los países comunistas.
Y esta cifra no incluye la asis
tencia técnica comunista, ni
los equipos militares, las be-
cas, y demás.
Como resultado de esta
relación de sujeción con el
bloque rojo, Cuba ha perdido
su vigencia comercial con los
más ventajosos mercados del
mundo libre, lo cual, a su vez
ha aumentado dicha relación
de dependencia, produciéndose
el clásico círculo vicioso.
No en balde Kosygin se
gasta el lujo de viajar a La
Habana como un prócónsul pa-
ra regañar a Fidel Castro y
darle instrucciones.

During the quarter under review AMSCROLL continued with
its program to discredit the Cuban regime's economic management
(or mismanagement) and to seek to discourage Free World trade
with Cuba. To this end AMSCROLL continued publishing its serious
economic studies and comment of the Cuban economic area. This
material is made available to selected firms engaged in inter-
national trade and shipping, to commercial and technical journals,
and to sugar brokers including certain banks and others interested
in the sugar trade. AMSCROLL also continued with its radio program
which is beamed to the Cuban audience and which is increasingly at-
tempting to provide serious comment upon economic developments in
Cuba or those areas of economic activity outside of Cuba which would
have an interest among the Cuban listeners. During this quarter
AMSCROLL received 15 letters from Cuba which compares with 18 re-
ceived during the previous quarter. The monthly count was: April -
6, May - 5, June
-
4.
2. On 30 April AMSCROLL ceased broadcasting over AMTHIGH.
Effective 1 May the program was presented over JMHOPE. This change
in station (and a consequent change in time) has perhaps effected
the listenership in Cuba; however, we expect that any unfavorable
developments will be overcome and that this program will at least
re-gain its previous level of listeners. Typical themes included
discussions of Cuba's housing problem, its actual sugar production
measured against Castro's earlier claims of what the production
would be, breakdowns and stoppages at the Cuban refineries, activ-
ities with the Soviet Union and the world sugar market, reporting
the progress of the Venezuelan dock workers boycott of ships of
those nations that also trade with Cuba, the fight against bureau-
cracy, and economic aspects of the Middle East crisis.
3. A main AMSCROLL effort continued to be an analysis of the
current sugar crop. As early as 13 February AMSCROLL predicted a
harvest within the range of 6,100,000 and 6,400,000. By 6 May
AMSCROLL was able to refine the harvest estimate from 6,047,000 to
6,101,000 tons. This estimate was further pinpointed to 6,100,000
tons in a release dated 16 June. These studies received newspaper.
attention and AMSCROLL has received favorable comment from sugar
brokers and other technicians engaged in this business. As events

are turning out, these estimates appear to have been sound in-
deed.
The AMHIM bulletin continues to give good replay to those
studies which results in their dissemination throughout Latin
America.
4. AMSCROLL continued with its monthly release which lists
the Free World ships that trade with Cuba. Both AP and AFP con-
tinued to file this information which results in its being pub-
lished in the press and used on radio news broadcasts.
5. AMSCROLL continued its mailing program to Cuba, and
during this quarter mailings approximated 5,000 which is tho samo
level as the previous quartor.
B.
ADMINISTRATION
6 The amount budgetod for the quarter under review was
$33,500.00 of which $13,332.45 was spent. This significant do-
cline in expenses was in large part due to the savings caused
by the cancellation of the AMTHIGH radio program and by continuod
attention to economies of operation within AMSCROLL itself.
C.
PROBLEMS
7. The Station is not aware of any specific problems having
to do with the AMSCROLL organization. Mention might be made in
passing of the ever presont morale problem (which is by no means
limited to AMSCROLL) engendered by increasing economies and re-
strictions in operations.
D. PLANS FOR THE NEXT QUARTER
8. A major effort is being made to revamp the AMSCROLL radio
program to increase its effectiveness as a reporter of economic
developments of interest to the Cuban listener. Too often these
programs spill over into the field of political reporting or unin-
formed comment upon developments in economic areas of which the
script writers are largely ignorant. Our aim is to devise a pro-
gram of economic reporting that will conform to the new guidelines
being developed by the Station for all its radio programs.

FRONT PAGE:
"The Arab Teaching":
1) EDITORIAL:
Arab proverts show that Arabs are wise. They
were not too vice, however, when they took the Soviets as allies and protectors.
For years, the Russians supplied the arsenal the Arabs were building up to wage
holy war against the tiny Jewish enclave. Furthermore, they reiterated their un-
conditional support to the Arabs. But when the hour of truth" came, the Israel-
is made piecemeal of the Arabs and their Soviet Military hardware. The Russians
failed to come to the assistance of their allies, and both were ridiculed to the
fullest extent. This should be a lesson for Fidel Castro, who relies on the
Sovists' military junk as much as on their support as "allies".
2) CASTRO HIMSELF PROPITIATES "BUREAUCRATISM*:
After a brief recess caused by the
mobilization in the cane fields, the war of bureaucratiam' was renewed with full
vigor by the Havana régime. Two Ministers were fired, whole Ministries were "ra-
tionalized", and payrolls were trimmed to the core. However, the same régime
that voiced threats of prison terms against those that failed to comply with
anti-bureaucratic instructions, creates new sources of bureaucratism, such as,
for example, the Book Institute and the National Institute for Forestry Devel op-
men and Products.
PAGE TWO:
1) SUNSHINE, AIR, AND WATER.... BUT NO ECONOMIC SOLUTIONS: The MININDUS Vice-Ministry
for Technical Development has several fantastic projects in hand, such as the har-
nessing of solar energy and of the force of the wind, the employment of energy
from tides in southern Pinar del Rio, and the desalinazation of sea water. But,
on top of their intrinsically fantastic character, these projects are paralyzed
due to the lack of technicians and of technical handbooks. What great men Marx,
Lenin and Castro!
(Based on material by same title in E.I.R.).

2) CARTOON: Headline: SUYCOTT OF CURA-TRADING SHIPS TO BE STEPPED UP: Castro facOS
a sinking vessel named "Maritime Trade With Quba" and says: "It seems we have
sprung a leak!"
PAGE THREE:
1) MOROCCO SEEN DRIFTING AWAY FROM CUBA! A brief story on the sale to Morocco of
"
160,000 tons of Brasilian sugar. It seems, we point out, that Morocco is determined
to quit Cuba as a star supplier. First she develops her own sugar industry, then
buys from Cuba's competitors. (Bised on a report carried by the E.I.R.).
2) CARTOON: Castro was carrying a bag (The Moroccan sugar market), but stumbled on
his own "Ineptitude and the bag "fell from his hands".

UNA VERDAD COMUNISTA
Victor Volsky, Jefe de la Delegación Observadora
Soviética al XII periodo de sesiones de la Comisión Eco-
nómico de la O.N.U. para America Latina, declaró recien
temente en Caracas que "Cuba Comunista es la hija mo.
nor de la Unión Sovretica, y a las hijos menores hosta so
les mima",
Palabras son estas que tienen la virtud de onardecer
al más indiferente de los cubanos, yo que los mismas re-
flejan el aire de superioridad con que estos orrogantes
comunistos eslavos tratan a nuestra Patria. Sin embar.
go, no puede negarse que el insolente Velsky dijo una
verdad en Caracos, al menos en cuanto se refiere a la
primera parte de su aserto.
Ciertamente, los hijas menores dependen de sus po.
dres. Son ellos quienes les proporcionan todo lo necesa.
rio pora su subsistencia; son ellos quienes determinan,
con la inapelabilidad que supone la patria potestad, al
rusbo que han de tomar los pasos de su adorable retoño;
y son ellos quienes so benefician del producto de sus
labores.
Siendo así, no cabe duda de que Cuba es la hija me..
por de la Unión Soviética. Lo URSS y sus satélites, on
efecto, venden a Cuba el 78.6% do sus importaciones;
la URSS es quien determina la politica que ha de seguir
el régimen de La Habana, y es la URSS quien recibe, con-
juntamente con sus títeres de Europa Oriental, el 80% de
jos productos que exporta nuestra Patria. Ante los datos
de este brutal monopolio comercial, y ante la suprema au-
toridad que ejerce la metrópoli sobre su pseudo-colonia
del Caribe, ¿quién puede negar que Cuba es, a todos los
efectos prácticos, la hijo menor de la Unión Sovietica?
Hasta aquí la verdad. La mentiro estriba en el aser.
to do que Cuba es la hija "mimoda" de la URSS. Porque,
como todo el mundo sabe, lo que es en realidad es una
hija oprimido, explotada, maltratado, y prostituida por es-
"madre" desnaturalizado que es la Rusia Soviética.

UNIDAD MONTHLY, ISSUE, NO. 37, May, 1967
This issue has boon almost entirely devoted to a reprint of I. Andrés Collazo's sta-
tomont concerning his experience as a CUFLET representative in London. Wo have re
printed most of the contents of the statement in the form of a signed article onti-
tled "INSIDE CUFLET",
As is known, Collazo tells of the "dog fights" that have rison between the privateers
(such as FRANGISTAS) and CUFLET over violations of contracts, bad condition of the
ships, etc.
He also discusses the docline in froe-world shipping to Cuba and its causos, as well
as the nature and background of the shippers that participate in the Cuban trade,
Bosidos the abovo, the following is included in this issue:
PAGE 11
EDITORIAL: "A COMMUNIST TRUTH", Volsky, the Chief of the Soviet observing delegation
to the CEPAL moeting in Caracas, said that "Cuba is the minor daughter of the USSR,
and minor daughtors are pampered". The Russian's insolence has roused the anger of
all well-born Cubans. Yet, there's a lot of truth in what the Russian said.
Indeed, minor daughters depend on their parents, get everything they need from them,
and are subject to their supreme authority. If the daughter works, she must also turn
a good part of the fruits of her toil over to her parents.
'
This is what happens with Cuba and the USSR. The Soviets and their satellites sell
Cuba 78.6% of her imports, dictate the policy of the Havana régime, and take 80% of
her exports.
In view of this dependence, who can deny that the relation between Cuba and Russia is
that of a minor daughter with respect to her parents?
The Russian only lied when he spoke of "pampering".
Russia: she is oppressed, exploited and corrupted by her.

1. On 27 March 1967, a letter from Cuba was received at
the postal address given by the radio program of AMSCROLL.
The letter had been mailed in Habana on 4 March 1967 and tho
contents included three photos of an unidentified individual
and one photo each of individuals identified as Reynaldo
*IRSULA Broa and Antonio FERNANDEZ Fernandez.
A note which
was Included stated that henceforth the Bendor would identify
himself as "Pancrasio". He indicated that if it was desired
receipt of his letter could be mentioned on the AMSCROLL
radio program but that nover should any mention of the
contents be mentioned as this could reveal his identity to
the DSE. Pancrasio stated his help would not be much but
that his letters might contain information which could be
of value. Ho wrote that he could not go into detail as
he was unable to spend much time at the typewriter.
Pancrasio concluded by saying the photos of Antonio and
Reynaldo were in the hands of a socurity agent who had
orders to find them. They had both been fugitives for a
long time. The other photo (in triplicate) was of a
Canadian citizen whose passport was retained by the DSE and
was reported as lost for an unexplained motive.
2. On 10 April 1967, the message from Pancrasio was
ac nowledged by radio and he was thanked for his letter and
told to continue his correspondence.
3. On 21 April 1967, a second letter from Pancrasio
was received via Key West, Florida. The letter had been

Receipt of Information from Unidentified Source within Cuba.

Reference:

1. On 27 March 1967, a letter from Cuba was received at
the postal address given by the radio program of AMSCROLL.
The letter had been mailed in Habana on 4 March 1967 and the
contents included three photos of an unidentified individual
_ and one photo each of individuals identified as Reynaldo
*IRSULA Brea and Antonio FERNANDEZ Fernandez. A note which
was included stated that henceforth the sendor would identify.
himself as *'Pancrasio". He indicated that if it was desired
receipt of his letter could be mentioned on the AMSCROLL
radio program but that never should any mention of the
contents be mentioned as this could reveal his identity to
the DSE. Pancrasio stated his help would not be much but
that his letters might contain information which could be
of value. He wrote that he could not go into detail as
he was unable to spend much time at the typewriter.
Pancrasio concluded by saying the photos of Antonio and
Reynaldo were in the hands of a security agent who had
orders to find them. They had both been fugitives for a
long time. The other photo (in triplicate) was of a
Canadian citizen whose passport was retained by the DSE and
was reported as lost for an unexplained motive.
2. On 10 April 1967, the message from Pancrasio was
ac nowledged by radio and he was thanked for his letter and
told to continue his correspondence.
3. On 21 April 1967, a second letter from Pancrasio
was received via Key West, Florida. The letter had been

mailed from Habana on 13 March and was directed to Guillermo
ALFONSO, 649 William Street, Key West. Typed on one of the
two sheets of paper forwarded by Pancrasio was a note saying
this was lotter number four from Pancrasin and requesting
Guillermo ALFONSO to forward the papers to the same postal
address which he had previously utilized. Copies of the
contents of this letter are attached under separate cover.
The one paper, dated 27 September 1961, appears to be a
list of Costa Ricans who visited Cuba under the auspices of
ICAP. The second paper appears to be a list of Brazilians
who visited Cuba, probably in mid 1960 when Janio QUADROS made
a visit to Cuba as part of his presidential campaign in
Brazil.
4. On 2 May 1967, a JMWAVE Officer visited Guillermo
ALFONSO in an effort to identify Pancrasio and develop
sufficient information to evaluate his information and
determine the extent of his access. ALFONSO claimed he
had no idea as to the identity of Pancrasio and was unable
to suggest possible candidates from his relatives in Cuba,
former work associates, classmates or neighbors. ALFONSO
had retained the envelop from Cuba which contained Pancrasio's
second message and a short message to ALFONSO. The note to
ALFONSO stated that Pancrasio had received ALFONSO's name
and address from some unidentified individual and that it was
requested that ALFONSO forward the contents of the letter to
the AMSCROLL address which was enclosed. ALFONSO was
cautioned not to mention anything concerning the matter to
anyone, especially to relatives in Cuba. Pancrasio stated
this was his second letter (not fourth as indicated on the
material which was forwarded on by ALFONSO) and that the
- first had been sent direct to the AMSCROLL address. It was
stated this was the first letter by which ALFONSO would
a serve as intermediary and that other letters would come
at infrequent intervals. Pancrasio had decided to use an
intermediary address as the AMSCROLL address was too well
known. Pancrasio concluded his note by saying that he
preferred to remain anonymous and that he would be remaining
in Cuba for two more years. In addition to the above cited
message, the letter to ALFONSO contained a calling card with
the name Dr Luc B. INNOCENT, President of the Haitian
Revolutionary Movement. On the back of the card was typed in
Spanish "without comment".
5. JMWAVE traces on FERNENDEZ, IRSULA and ALFONSO are
negative. INNOCENT, according to HZPA-12507, dated 2 August
1962, is a Haitian terrorist, Fidelista, who was planning
to enter Panama from Columbia.
6. ALFONSO was instructed to forward any mail received
from Pancrasio in an expeditious manner and JMWAVE will
follow any leads obtained which might help to identify
Pancrasio in order to develop him into a more productive
source of information.

Ⓒ Request from Greek and Spanish Embassies for AMSCROLL Publications
ACTION REQUIRED. REFERENCES on Shipping
Action
Required:
None, FYI
1. We forward by separate cover a copy of a letter from the
Royal Greek Embassy in Washington addressed to AMSCROLL together
with a copy of the requested publication. AMSCROLL answered the
request by return mail and took the opportunity to include more
recent material published by AMSCROLL which discussed Greek ships
and Cuba. All of this material had earlier been sent the addressees
and, further, had been sent the list discussed in UFGA-26541
(8 December 1966). We are also including in the separate cover
attachment an article based upon AMSCROLL material that appeared
in the American Marine Engineer.
2. On 27 April the Spanish Embassy in Washington telephoned
AMSCROLL to request one copy each of the January and February
1967 AMSCROLL Studies of Free World Shipping with Cuba. The
Embassy explained that its file of this publication was complete
except for these two issues.

Illness At Sea
Rate Declines
Reported illnesses and in-

sonnel in 1986 in relation to
the average number of sca
faring jobs dipped to a new
low for the last decade.
Recently announced figures
stated that the combined per-
centage of illness and injuries,
based on an average of 54,000
jobs last year, declined to 73.7
per cent from the 25.5 per cent
reported on 20,000 jobs in 12:3.
The respective percentages of
Injuries and Winesses also de

and that of illness was down
to 37.3 per cent from the fist
40 percent registered the pre-

The percentage of injuries is
the lowest recorded since 1901,
and that of illness is the lowest
since 1957.
All told, in 1968 licensed and

(1) ANOTHER REGIME OFFICIAL DEFECTS IN GREAT BRITADI:
PAGE TWO:
A brief story on the Colla-
zo defection, followed by excerpts from his original statement. Excerpts include:
reasons why free-world sea trade with Cuba is declining (U.S. Black List, Latin
workers' boycott, etc.); Cuba-trading shipowners take advantage of Castro and over-
charge him for charters; the personnel problem in "Mambisas"; the planned deception
for Expo 67 (exhibiting console record players made up of foreign components and
wood as Cuban-made); general conclusion: régine officials don't know where they are
headed for.
(2) EDITORIAL:
HATED BY FRIEND AND FOE: The Russians hate Castro because he has
two-timed them in the Sino-Sovict rift; the Chinese loathe him because they regard
him as a mercenary who has sold out to the Soviets. Latin American Rods hate him
as well, because, as they say, he has promoted fractionalism in their ranks. Anti-
Communists throughout the Americas hate him too, as there is not a country in the
hemisphere where mothers and wives are not mourning the loss of a dear one to Cas-
troite terrorists. And anti-Red Cubans would not touch Castro with a ten-foot pole.
Hated by friend and foe alike, how could anyone think that Castro may eventually
survive a chronic economic crisis that his own ineptitute has wrought on the nation?
(1) MOROCCO BREAKS DEPENDENCE ON CUBAN SUGAR: From the EIR we take the story on the
Moroccan plan to develop their own sugar industry at the expense of purchases from
industry
Cuba. This plan, we stress, is receiving Polish financial and technical aid, which
shows to what extent Castro's Red comrades are concerned with his sugar interests.

.
(2) DO THE SOVIETS SEND 'REJECT' PARTS TO CUBA?: Also from the EIR, this is the
story on the "coincidence" that poor-quality or defective parts began to arrive in
Cuba, under Soviet-Cuban barter agreements, right after the price of sugar dropped.

C. JMWAVE-6430
1. JAWAVE forwards herewith a study entitled Economic
Relations Between Cuba and the Soviet Union: How Much Depen-
dency? Both Santiago and Headquarters are being provided with
an original and one copy of the study in English and an original
and one copy in Spanish. Two sets of the one table and the six
charts that support the study are also being forwarded each
addressee. This is an AMSCROLL prepared study; the author is
AMERAME-1 in collaboration with AMSNAKE-1. It was prepared in
response to references A and B.
2. We have limited this study to an attempt to prove
statistically the very rapid rise of Cuban economic dependency
upon the Soviet Union. We have intentionally avoided editorial-
izing as the facts speak for themselves; thus we have drawn no
political conclusions, nor have we attempted to establish that
this economic dependency carries with it an implicit policy
control on the part of the Soviets (partly because policy control
does not necessarily follow and, in any event, the reader is free
to draw his own conclusions).
3. If it does not run counter to Station Santiago's plans,
we suggest that AMSCROLL - a JEWAVE asset that studies and
comments upon the Cuban economic scene-reproduce this study
under its name for private distribution to its list of sugar bro-
kers, trading firms, and international organizations that deal

We would particularly like to bring this presentation to the
attention of European firms and organizations with which ANSCROLL
is in contact and which are a factor in Cuban trade. We believe
that this will also give a basis for attribution to Santiago
should the Station desire it; if not, the facts and figures could
be used by Station Santiago without attribution and without
sourcing, for that matter, as we believe that the figures will
stand.
4. JMWAVE will appreciate comments on the value of this

ECONOMIC RELATIONS BETWEEN
CUBA AND THE SOVIET UNION: HOW MUCH DEPENDENCY?
3
Cuba's dependency on the Soviet Union is known. The question is: how much de-
pendency? In order to arrive at some conclusion we have chosen Cuba's foreign trade
statistics for the 1959-1966 period.
,"
We will work under the following economic assumption: Economic dependency of one
country on the other can be indicated to a considerable extent by their trade as this
indicates the need one country has of the other as a market for its exports and as
a supplier for its imports.
What we will do is to analyze the Cuban Trade Balance for the 1959-1966 period.
1) According to the assumption we established regarding trade dependency, we can
say that during 1959 Cuba was dependent upon the Free World for its markets as total
trade value for that year amounted to $ 1,305,700,000 and trade value with the Free
World represented $ 1,289,000,000 (or 98.8% of the total trade).
Broken down into exports and imports we see that in 1959 Cuban exports totaled
$ 637,700,000 while total imports were $ 688,000,000. Thus, the trade balance showed
a $ 26,500,000 deficit, which was a reflection of the trend started in 1958 due te
* Every figure in this paper will be given in U.S. dollars unless otherwise
indicated. The sources for the figures used throughout the analysis, the
table, and charts were: "The Economist", "The New York Times", UN's Econo-
mic Reports on Latin America, "Cuba Comercio Exterior" magazine, "Visión"
magazine, "US News & World Report", and The Economist Intelligence Unit's
"Quarterly Economic Review".
It should be remembered that the figures refer only to the Cuban Trade Ba
lance; i.e., imports and exports, and not to the Cuban Balance of Payments
which would reflect loans and financial arrangements, plus the Soviet mili-
tary and techical assistance; figures which do not appear in the balance of
trade and which are not available to us with sufficient authenticity to warm

the unstable political situation under the Batista regime and the economic insecurity
of the new Castro regime.
Of the above mentioned exports, 97.8% were to Free World countries and only 2.2%
of the import
to Communist countries. Import-wise, 99.9%, were made from Free World countries, while
0.1% were made from Communist countries.
مه
Thus, we can conclude that Cuba was still very much dependent upon the Free World
a trading par
but
- trade wise
-
during 1959, Further, at least $ 623,800,000 (97.8% of total exports)
was collected in hard currency.
2) In 1960, Anastas Mikoyan visited Cuba and the Cuban-Soviet trade agreement was
signed. The effect of this agreement is immediately apparent when viewed through Cu-
ba's foreign trade figures.
daward
Total trade value decreased in 1960 to $ 1,168,000,000 from $ 1,305,700,000. Free
World participation decreased more than proportionately, as the value of Cuban trade
with the Free World was $ 897,000,000, while trade with Communist countries increased
to $ 271,000,000 or 23.3% of total trade) versus $ 1,289,900,000 and $ 15,800,000
(on 2.0 % 50
އ
respectively in 1959.
. The trade balance was in favor of Cuba in the amount of $ 68,000,000 as
control ?
of imports, especially from the Free World, established in 1959 was having its effect.
3) In 1961 the whole foreign trade picture was transformed. It was almost the
reverse of 1960. Total trade amounted to $ 1,253,600,000, of which Free World parti-
cipation represented $ 348,600,000 (or 27.8%) and Communist trade $ 905,000,000 (or
72.2%).
•
We can look at this another way. In 1960, Cuban exports earned $ 467,000,000 in
hard currency. In 1961, the hard currency earnings amounted to $ 166,800,000 since the
$ 458,100,000 value of Cuban exports to the Communist countries represented "agreement
value" or "nominal hard currency value" as the trade was conducted under barter agree-
ments, with the Soviet Union providing about 10% to 20% of the total Cuban export value
in convertible currency.
14-00000
- 3 -
Cuba was now dependent, economically, upon the Communist World, especially the
Soviet Union. The fact that little hard currency was obtained from its new trade part-
t
ners further commited Cuba's economy to the Communist Bloc.)
4) In 1962, the trend continued. Total trade was $ 1,257,000,000, of which
$ 1,031,000,000 (82.1%) was with the Communist Bloc and only $ 226,000,000 (17.9%)
with Free World countries.
Another phenomenon appeared during 1962. The Soviets, who had been careful not
to press Cuba during 1960 with regards to their trade balance (which was favorable to
Cuba by $ 31,000,000), were shrewd enough to close the gap during 1961. The balance
was favorable to Cuba by $ 11,200,000.
Clearly, the Soviet pressure was on. In 1962, Cuba faced a $ 227,000,000 deficit
with the Communist countries. Compounding this is the fact that by 1962 Cuba had spent
30.6% of its hard currency reserves in Free World markets.
Dependency upon the Soviet Union arrived to stay as trade with the Communist World
represented 82.1% of total trade and imports from the Communist area had, for the first
time, surp as sed Cuban exports to the Bloc.
5) Two interesting developments occured in 1963. First of all, total trade with
the Communist countries maintained the 1962 level ($ 1,031,000,000 in 1962 and
$ 1,054,900,000 in 1963). ;But, the Soviet Union tightened the grip by increasing its
exports to Cuba to $ 688,900,000 (in 1962 they represented $ 629,000,000), while Cuban
exports to the Communist Bloc decreased to $ 366,000,000 (in 1962 they represented
$ 402,000,000). Thus, the imbalance for Cuba increased to $ 322,900,000 (in 1962 it
was $227,000,000).
To recoup in
At the same time, Cuba attempted an approach to the Free World markets by taking
advantage of an increase in the price of sugar in the world market (sugar averaged
8.48 cts: per pound during this period). Cuba's total trade with the Free World in -
creased to $ 354,300,000 (in 1962 it had been $ 226,000,000).
Cuban
Nevertheless, the 1963 trade balance worsened for Cuba as it showed a $ 323,200,000
deficit. The Free World countries were able to turn the tables on Cuba (as in 1962

a
they had a $ 12,000,000 deficit on the trade balance with Cuba and now Cuba was
defect with the Free World,
$ 300,000 short).
6) For 1964, a favorable world sugar market (average price of 5.86 cts. per pound)
encouraged Cuba to continue its flirtation with the Free World. The Cuban treasury
was able to handle some hard currency for the first time in the Castro era and Cuban
commercial missions were sent to Europe and Japan to purchase items no longer available
in Cuba.
2
Total trade increased to $ 1,722,000,000 and the Free World participation increased
from $ 354,300,000 (25.2%) in 1963 to $ 612,000,000 (35.6%). The Free World spending
spree took its toll as the trade balance with the Free World showed a $ 30,000,000 de-
ficit for Cuba. And here, we are speaking of a hard currency loss.
•
Not even in the midst of Cuba's affair with the Free World did the Soviet Union
Lose
Hoose control of the situation. On January 20, 1964, Cuba was signing a trade agree-
ment with the Soviet Union by which it was commiting about half of its planned future
sugar production to the Soviet Union for the next six years. The amounts Cuba agreed
to deliver to the Soviet Union were: 2,100,000 metric tons in 1965; 3,000,000 in 1966;
4,000,000 in 1967; 4,000,000 in 1968; 5,000,000 in 1969; and 5,000,000 in 1970. The
Soviet Union did agree to fix the price of Cuba's sugar at 6 cts. per pound, which
perhaps seems generous in 1967, but hardly a good offer on January 20, 1964, as the
price of sugar on January 19, 1964 was 9.50 cts. per pound. Adding insult to injury
the Soviet Union did not include in the 1964 trade agreement its previous commitment
to provide Cuba with 10% or 20% of the payments in hard currency as it had done in the
1960 agreement.
because it had
7) By 1965 Cuba was sending few trade missions abroad, virtually ceased its hard
-currency purchases, and found itself with almost no hard currency (the average price
and
of sugar had dropped to 2.12 cts. per pound). During 1965 Cuba faced the Soviet Union
more empty handed than before and the general trade situation returned to 1963 levels,
except that by now the Communist countries had more participation and the Free World

had less. Total trade amounted to $ 1,551,000,000 (compared to $ 1,410,200,000 in
1963),
but trade with Communist countries reached $ 1,195,000,000
$ 1,054,900,000 in 1963). Trade with the Free World remained at the

ban deficit in its trade balance with the Free World rose from $ 300,000 in 1963 to
$ 60,000,000 in 1965.
So, the Soviets continued in control as trade with the Communist countries re-
presented more than three quarters of Cuba's total trade for that year.
The sugar
production had already been mortgaged, the sugar market was depressed, and Cuba was
more and more dependent upon the Soviet Union.
8) Then came 1966. Sugar prices decreased to an average of 1.86 cts. per pound.
Total trade decreased to $ 1,465,000,000 as compared with $ 1,551,000,000 in 1965.
Trade with Communist countries also decreased (from $ 1,195,000,000 in 1965 to
$ 1,160,000,000 in 1966) and the Soviets were able to push a little further and in -
creased Cuba's deficit in the trade balance from $ 119,000,000 in 1965 to $ 200,000,000
in 1966.
Free World countries also gained. Total Free World trade decreased to $ 305,000,000
(from $ 356,000,000 in 1965), but the Cuban deficit increased from $ 60,000,000 in
1965 to $ 65,000,000 in 1966.
Our conclusions follow:
FIRST: Cuba is economically dependent upon the Soviet Union.
SECOND: This dependency is increasing. It has risen from 1.2% in 1959 to 79.2%
by 1966.
To buttress this conclusion we point out that:
.
A) Cuba has mortgaged its sugar production to the Soviet Union.
B) Cuba has exhausted its hard currency reserves.. While an exact figure is
not available we estimated it to be about $ 20,000,000, in December 1964.
C) Cuba does not receive hard currency from its trade with the Communist
countries under the present barter agreements.

D) Cuba has a $ 1,132,000,000 trade deficit with the Communist countries
for the 1963 - 1966 period. Nor does this figure include Communist technical assis-
tance, military equipment, scholarships, and the like.
THIRD Cuba has lost its position as a meaningful trader in the Free World, which
in turn has increased its dependency upon the Soviet Union.

A.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
For
1. During the quarter under review AMSCROLL continued its
campaign to discredit the Cuban regime's economic management.
As before, the campaign was conducted by the AMSCROLL radio
program and by serious economic studies and comment that were
provided its mailing list of sugar brokers, selected firms
engaged in international trade and shipping, and commercial and
technical journals. The Station continues to be encouraged by
evidence of increased acceptance of the AMSCROLL efforts.
example, AMSCROLL received eighteen letters from Cuba during this
quarter, all of which were in direct response to the radio program.
- Of these, twelve were received in March which represents the
highest monthly total since initiating the program. This compa res
with eleven the previous quarter and only three in the corresponding
quarter of 1965. In January, the Vice President of the Association
of Sugar Producers of Puerto Rico called upon the AMSCROLL
offices to request AMSCROLL's assistance in preparing a chapter
on Cuban sugar production problems to be included in a book this
person is writing. AMSCROLL received requests from four universi-
ties or colleges requesting written material, from a graduate
student preparing a thesis on the lot of the Cuban peasant, from
the U.S. Army Special Warfare School Library, and others. The
wire services, particularly Associated Press and Agence France
Presse, continued to file stories based upon AMSCROLL releases.
2. The AMSCROLL radio program continued as reported for the
last quarter--daily except Sunday for ten minutes over ANTHIGH.
In addition, on 1 January AMSCROLL began a thirteen minute
program each Sunday on AMPHIGH. These programs are in large part
confined to subjects of an economic nature with the time on
Sunday devoted to an in-depth analysis of what has occurred in
this area since the previous Sunday. Typical themes hit through-
out this quarter were: Economic and sociological aspects of
Castro's "San Andres" speech of 28 January, an unfavorable ;
balance of trade with Spain of $30,000,000, significance of Soviet
trade with Chile as compared with Cuba, an analysis of a UN
economic study of Cuba which shows that rice production in Cuba
has declined 50% since 1960, the Royal British Institute's
finding that Cuba's economy makes her a poor trading risk, and
a report that Greek ship owners that persist in trading with

Cuba are being brought to trial. Throughout this period and
whenever possible a particular effort was made to relate
developments in China to present or possible developments in
Cuba. The difficulties of the Chinese economy provided
examples to which a Cuban "twist" could be put; e.g., the
Chinese and Cuban economic failures demonstrate the failure of
applied communism in the economic area.
3. AMSCROLL is continuing its analysis of the current
Bugar crop. Its releases on this subject continue to generate
interest and the Station has seen coverage in The Miami Herald,
El Universal (of Caracas), The Times of The Americas, and
Diario Las Americas. The ANSCROLL releases on Free World
shipping to Cuba were picked up by both AP and AFP and were
published in the newspapers listed in the previous sentence as
well as The Montreal Star. The ANHIM Bulletin also carries
the bulk of these releases and we can therefore presume coverage
of at least some of this information in Jatin America. An
interesting study was an analysis of British/Cuban trade which
demonstrates that Great Britain is now getting the better part
of the bargain; this story was filed by AFP as was a story of
the poor quality of molasses being sold by the Cubans to British
firms. Finally, AMSCROLL continued to get mileage from the
Damlier-Benz story by reporting that this German firm has finally
refused to sell spare parts to Cuba; the story was filed by AFP
and published at least by Diario las Americas.
4. AMSCROLL continued its mailing program to Cuba, but on a
further reduced scale. During the quarter about 5,000 were
mailed versus 5,600 during the previous quarter. We count a
distribution during this quarter of 7,127 press releases and
economic studies to places other than Cuba.
5. A recent development which may have an interesting
operational potential was a telephone call to AMSCROLL from
Czarnikow-Rionda, the New York sugar brokers, which was
triggered by an AMSCROLL "case study" of the problems being
faced by a Cuban sugar mill. The firm told AMSCROLL that it has
for some time suspected Cuban sugar production figures and
wondered if AMSCROLL had any such suspicions. AMSCROLL (through
AMFRAME-1) has written to say it would be most interested in
following any leads from Czarnikow-Rionda that could support a
conclusion that Cuban production figures are false, which is
where this matter now lies. The officials of Czarnikow-Rionda
are well known to AMSCROLL and we shall be interested in seeing
what the firm developes for AMSCROLL.

6. The amount budgeted for the quarter under review was
$36,750 of which $33,700.72 was spent. Of this amount, $9,728
was for salaries and $23,972.72 for operations and office.
expenses.
.7. Funding is handled as follows: AMSCROLL operational and
administrative expenses are reimbursed monthly by the case
officer to the treasurer after submission of an accounting of
funds spent. Funds for salaries are also given the treasurer by
the case officer which for tax purposes are paid by a local
cover company.
C.
PROBLEMS
8. The Station is not aware of any problems during this
quarter worthy of comment.
D. PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER
9. AMSCROLL broadcasting via AMTHIGH will cease 20 April
and AMTHIGH has been so informed by letter dated 13 March. The
AMSCROLL programs will thereafter be carried by JMHOPE. The
Station expects that this move will result in a substantial
saving.

1. AMMSOF maintained contact with party leaders throughout
the hemisphere during the quarter. The majority of the corres-
pondence was handled by AHCRIB/1, the leader of the youth wing,
who was informed by the JUDCA secretary-general, both during his
October visit and in subsequent correspondence, that the AMNOP
youth wing was performing effective work and that a JUDCA study
on AMNOP activities would be forthcoming.
The JUDCA secretary-
general favors the incorporation of the AMHOF youth sector into
his organization.
2. AMMOP youth published two bulletins on their activities
along with an interesting summary on the activities of their
counterparts in other countries, which was mailed to a list of
contacts and correspondents. Several party officials in other
countries have requested to be placed on the AMMOP mailing lists,
an indication that AMMOP is becoming more widely recognized as a
representative political movement.
3. The AMBOP youth group has also organized a series of
seminars which attracted from 30-35 participants during the quar-
ter. The purpose, in addition to offering discussions on such
subjects as politics, labor and agriculture, was to promote more
group unity and to draw new sources of talent.

5. The difficulties in the operation of the AMHOP project
are due largely to the lack of effective leadership and initiative.
The AMHOP youth wing is operating with reasonable effectiveness
within its sphere but is hampered by the lack of active JUDCA
membership.
D. FUTURE PLANS
--
6. Additional seminars are projected for the next quarter.
Both AMMOP and its youth sector will maintain active correspondence
to gain recognition as knowledgeable and active groups. In addition,
future AMMOF activities will be aimed at creating a more cohesive
organizational structure, attracting responsible leadership talent
to the organization, and gaining greater recognition and possible
financial support and guidance from the Parent International Move-
mont.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
1. The AMKNOT organization continued during the quarter
under review with its program of assisting Cuban merchant
mariners who have defected from their service. Fifteen diff-
erent cases were handled during this period which included
five resettlement cases in areas other than JMWAVE. Billets
at sea were found for two more--one as a first mate and one as
a third mate. The remaining eight received assistance in obtain-
ing employment or what might be called administrative aid-ass 18-
tance in obtaining social security numbers, etc.
2.
Processing continued for those interested in employment
by the Military Sea Transport Service (MSTS). Progress in -
obtaining the necessary U.S. Coast Guard certification is slow
and of the four that applied for this during the previous quarter
only two had received the certification by the end of the current
quarter. During this quarter two more former Cuban merchant
officers sought through AMKNOT this certification as they expressed
interest in MSTS employment. The current status is: In process--6;
Coast Guard certifications received--2; physical examinations given
(and passed)--4. In addition, applications for employment together
with the Coast Guard certifications and completed physical examin-
ation forms were forwarded 28 December to the cover company in
Baltimore for 2. The remainder will be forwarded as the Coast
. Guard certifications are received.
3. The activities of the AMKNOT organization continue to
receive publicity. The Station has four clips from different
papers including one from El Universal of Caracas. AMKNOT issued
one press release during this quarter which was an "eyewitness"
account of the attempt of four Cuban sailors to obtain political
asylum in the Canary Islands. In fact, this was a letter mailed
to AMKNOT by USPOT-2 and signed in pseudonym. The story was
picked up by Diario Las Americas in its 15 December issue.

4. The AMKNOT organization remains constituted as reported
in the previous Quarterly Report. However, in December AMASK-1
was offered a permanent position as personnel director of a local
shoe company that employs some four hundred people. His starting
salary will be $475.00 per month which will be increased after
the first three months and increased again after the second three
months. The Station concurred with AMASE-1 that he accept for
these reasons: (1) The AMKNOT position is not permanent, (2)
it appears that AMASK-1 will be terminated when AMKNOT is closed,
(3) this position should solve AMASK-l's personal financial prob-
lems, and (4) AMASK-1 has agreed to remain as chairman of AMKNOT
without salary and to continue to lend his name to the organization.
The Station expects to replace AMASK-1 with AMPOLISH-1 who appears
qualified to handle the hand-holding and housekeeping aspects of
AMKNOT. AMPOLISH-1 is presently employed by a local automobile
dealer and is able to take the necessary time off to handle the
AMKNOT matters. We see three advantages to this development:
(1) The Station will be spared a possible disposal situation when
AMKNOT is closed (it has been made clear to AMPOLISH-1 that this
is a temporary assignment that at the most will last for a few
months), (2) We have offered AMPOLISH-1 $200.00 per month versus
$390.00 for AMASK-1, and (3) AMASK-1 should be in an excellent
position to offer at least temporary employment in the shoe fac-
tory to mariners to come.
5. An estimated total of $2,505.00 was spent during this
quarter. This amount represents AMASK-l's salary and allowances,
office expenses, and English instruction for those seeking MSTS
employment. Expenses by month were: October, $855.00; November,
$825.00; and December (estimated), $825.00. The allotment for
this activity for the quarter was $3,000.00.
.C.
PROBLEMS
6. The chief problem of the period was caused by the antics
of Raul QUINTANA Ruiz who jumped ship in New Orleans after a run-
in with the ship's captain and after difficulties with the Immi-
gration and Naturalization Service over the lack of proper documen-
tation to re-enter the country. QUINTANA has been resettled in
California, though we may not have heard the last from him; AMASK-1
recently received a letter from QUINTANA which said that QUINTANA
was about to sue the shipping line that had employed him for back
salary and loss of personal effects that QUINTANA claims the captain
had locked up. AMASK-1 was advised to ignore the letter in view
of the difficulties already caused and in view of his potential for
further trouble (see paragraphs 2 and 3 of JMWAVE-3990).

D. PLANS FOR THE NEXT QUARTER
7. The Station currently plans that AMPOLISH-1 will assume
his duties with AMKNOT on 2 January 1967 as this is the date
AMASK-1 will join the shoe company. AMKNOT will continue pro-
cessing applications of those interested in MSTS employment and
will encourage additional applications from those that appear
qualified and interested. Also, AMKNOT, of course, will receive
all defecting mariners that appear in the area and will continue
to encourage, where it can, additional defections.

1. As reported in the previous Progress Report the
ANCROW offices were closed and all personnel were terminated
except for AMCROW-14. Thus there were no operational
activities.
However, the Station requested AMCROW-14
to send President Leoni of Venezuela a cable congratulating
him upon the action the Venezuelan Government took against the
leftists operating from the Central University of Caracas.
The cable was sent 15 December and was signed by AMCROW-14
in his capacity as a former PBRUMEN cabinet officer. This
was in response to paragraph 2 of Caracas 5482.

2.
AMCROW-14 continued to receive his termination pay
of $425 per month. The final payment will be made 31 December.
3. A total of $1,349.25 was spent by AMCROW for the
quafter ending 31 December which represents salary for AMCROW,14
@ $425.00 per month plus a payment of $74.25 to the state
unemployment fund.
C. PROBLEMS
There were no problems during this quarter. AMCROW-14 has
apparently accepted the fact that he will be terminated 31 December.

2. Correspondence with International Organizations Correspon
denco was maintaised and exchanged with the International Commission
of Jurists, the Americas Fund for Free Jurists, and the UN and OAS
International Commissions of Human Rights. The subject matter of
this correspondence was identical with the subjects mentioned in
paragraph ic above.
3. Impact - In an effort to focus attention on the Cuban
political prisoners issue, AMBASAL/1 prepared a 15 page document on
this subject which he presented in person in October 1966 to the
Human Rights Commission of the OAS. The president of the commission
told ANBASAL/1 that this document was the best he had seen on the
subject and the commission, after discussion, agreed to continue
efforts to get permission to travel to Cuba to investigate the
charges contained in the document. AMBASAL/1 also visited the UN
Human Rights Commission, the Interamerican Federation of Lawyers,
the American Fund for Free Jurists, and the president of the Inter-
national Red Cross. All in all, the effort to focus attention on
the political prisoners issue was successful and resulted in wire
service, radio, and press coverage. A total of 23 clippings,
dealing with AMBASAL/1's activities in this regard, was sent to
Beadquarters.

4. Radio The weekly AMBASAL radio programs were carried
by JMHOPE and tapes of each program were sent to SWBULL/1 for
re-broadcast. The content of these programs was in line with
the juridical nature of the AMBASAL organization, although
editorial comment was frequently made on current themes not
specifically related to the legal field.
B.
ADMINISTRATION
5. The 1967 fiscal year budget for AMBASAL is $43,000.00.
On a quarterly basis the allotted figure is $10,750.00. During
this quarter AMBASAL expenses amounted to $11,760.72, a total
of $1,010.72 in excess of the allotted figure. Of the overall
quarterly expenses of $11,760.72, agent salaries accounted for
$7,000.00, radio expenses amounted to $1,901.72 and $2,859.00
was spent on printed propaganda, operational travel, and miscel-
laneous office expenses. Total operational expenses for the
first six months of FY 1967 were $23,987.28, an excess of $2,487.28
over the $21,500.00 allocated for the first half of the fiscal
year.
c. PROBLEMS
6. Termination of the principal agent may be difficult.
Consideration is being given to the possible future use of
AMBASAL/1 as a singleton agent. The alternative is to assist him
in finding suitable employment; a difficult task given his age
(42), complete lack of English, and aspects of his personality
and character.
7. We do not anticipate any other problems relative to
the termination of this operation. The AMBASAL newsletters sent
to Cuba were stopped with the October issue and the monthly
bulletin with the November issue. Four of the AMBASAL personnel
were terminated 31 December and the radio programs were stopped
in December.
D. PLANS FOR THE NEXT QUARTER
8. Three AMBASAL employees will be terminated effective
31 January 1967 and the AMBASAL office will be closed during that
month. It is planned to permit AMBASAL/1 to retain some of the
equipment now in his office to encourage him in his plans to con-
tinue to operate on a scaled-down, independent basis. We will
continue to pay a monthly salary to AMBASAL/1 through March 1967
while attempting to solve his personal situation discussed in the
preceding section.

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
1. During the second quarter of FY 1967 the AHLIRA group
compiled a file of newspaper clippings concerning the political
occurrences involving the Cuban delegation during the tenth
Central American and Caribbean games held in Puerto Rico during
June 1966. This file was sent in October to Mr. Avery BRUNDAGE,
president of the International Olympic Committee, with the
request that the file be brought to the attention of the IOC at
the next meeting of that body for whatever action might be
deemed appropriate.
2. Significant AMLIRA correspondence included the following:
8. A letter to each member of the Special Consultation
Committee on Security of the O48 pointing out the use made
by Communist governments, specifically Cuba, of sports for
propaganda and political ends.
b. A letter from the Argentine representative on the
IOC in which he acknowledges receipt of a tape with recorded
inflammatory remarks by Jose LLANUSA, the head of the Cuban
delegation at the CA and Caribbean games in Puerto Rico. Ia
the letter the Argentine representative deplores such action
as a violation of Olympic principles. This ties in with the
action taken as indicated in paragraph (1) above.
c. A letter to the Venezuelan Ministry of Interior pro-
testing the visit of Venezuelan athletes to Cuba at the same
time as Cuba is inciting terrorists to action inside Venezuela.
3. Approximately 5000 copies of the AMLIRA magazino were
printed each month during the period under reviev. They were
distributed by news stand sale in Miami, New York and Puerto Rico;
through various sports organizations in Latin America and Spain
and by distribution as reading material on several Latin American
airlines. The ANLIRA magazine provides international sports edi–
torials of ERSFAWN value which are of specific interest to latin
American readership. Articles of propaganda significance which

appeared during this past quarter included: A story on Negro
ath etes in the U.S. refuting a Cuban claim that there was
discrimination in the selection of the U.8. Olympic team; an
articie on the disqualification of a Cuban woman athlete because
"she did not conform to the revolutionary principles of the
sports movement in Communist Cuba" and an article which refutes
the Cuban caim that Cuba won the tenth Central American and
Caribbean games.
During the quarter the AMLIRA group issued several press
releases concerning sports-newsworthy events involving Cuba and
continued the regular five minute radio programs which are heard
thirty times each week on Radio Americas beamed to Cuba and on
WHIE in Miami. In addition the AMLIKA organization provided
recorded tapes of sports interviews and commentary to 58 indepen-
dent radio stations in Puerto Rico and 14 countries in Central
and South America.
B.
ADMINISTRATIVE
5. During the second quarter of FY 67 the AMLIRA organization
expended $17,300 and had income of some $600 from news stand sales
and advertising. Both these figures are approximate projections
because the final December figures are not recorded at this
writing. The net figure for expenditures during the quarter (some
$16,700) exceeds the budgeted amount by approximately $400. However,
this overage will be absorbed in further budgetary cutbacks during
the next reporting period.
6. The AMLIRA activity expenditures also exceeded the budget
allowance during the last quarter. To remedy this situation the
following specific economy measures will go into effect beginning
1 January 1967:
A. One salaried employee will be dropped.
b.
Monthly saving....$250
Publication of monthly pamphlets with selected
offprints from the AMLIRA magazine will be
discontinued………. Approx. monthly saving....$400
$650
It is expected that there will be other savings which will bring
the total quarterly reduction in spending to about $2500.

8. It is probable that the next World Baseball Champion-
ships sponsored by the International Baseball Federation will
be held in Colombia. An effort will be made by the AMLIRA
group to mount an operation aimed at assuring the denial of an
invitation to participate in these championships to the Cuban
team.
9. The AMLIRA group is preparing propaganda materials for
use in a campaign to try to influence the sports authorities in
the Caribbean and Central American countries not to allow their
national teams to attend the Weight Lifting Championships to be
held during 1967 in Cuba.

1. On 9 October 1966 AMSTRUT-2 spoke in New York before
an audience of approximately 2600 persons on the occasion of
the anniversary of Cuban Independence (Grito de Yara). The
gathering was sponsored by AMICE. The audience response was
enthusiastic and the press services (AP, UPI, AFP) issued wire
releases on the AMSTRŪT-2 statements which included a denuncia-
tion of Fidel CASTRO as a "hangman of his own people" and a
"lackey of international Communism”.
2. During October AMSTRUT-2 was interviewed by Henry
GOETHALS of the Copley News Service. The article resulting
from the interview was a sympathetic recounting of the AHSTRUT-2
activities on behalf of the cause of a free Cuba with specific
mention of the AMSTRUT-2 book which is in preparation and the
constant readiness of AMSTRUT-2 to travel, speak and work for the
cause.
.
3. During November the AESTRUT-2 Foundation made a contribu-
tion of $464 for visa and medical costs involved in the travel of
a group of Cuban exiles from Jamaica to the United States.
4. The ANSTRUT-2 weekly radio spot on AMTHIGH continued with-
out schedule change during the quarter. Significant themes included:
comments on the degraded role of women in the Communist state compared
with that in the free world; reference to the myth of Communist unity
as revealed by the split between the Chicoms and the USSR; mention of
the possibility that Cubans will be sent to North Viet Nam to fight
and die; comment on the treatment of prisoners in Cuba and the UHAP
and editorial comment on the visit of Faul CASTRO and President
DORTICOS to Moscow with the statement that Fidel CASTRO did not go
because he did not dare leave the island. This latter comment
inspired considerable press play locally as well as by the wire ser-
vices.

5.
During the second quarter of FY-67 there were expendi-
tures of approximately $19,000 by the AMSTRUT-2 activity. This
figure includes an estimate for the month of December because
the final figures have not been received at this writing. The
budgeted amount for AMSTRUT-2 for the quarter is $24,000 and there
is an excess of budget authorization over expenditures of approxi-
mately $5000. This figure, however, gives an unreal budgetary
picture of the AMSTRUT-2 activity. This $5000 will remain as a
part of the budget allotment and may well be expended in a flurry
of AMSTRUT-2 travel, publication activity and/or promotion during
the next quarter. In other words the excess does not represent
budget "fat" since the bulk of the AMSTRUT-2 expenses are not
figured as month to month constants but obligated as the operational
situation demands.
6. During December AMSTRUT-2 moved into a smaller house with
a lower rent which will mean a saving of $100 per month. In
addition, it is anticipated that a further saving will be realized
in maintenance and upkeep costs.
C.
PROBLEMS
یه
7. The basic agent-handling problem presented by AMSTRUT-2's
mercurial disposition, excessive generosity and understandable
emotional approach to the role which must be played before the pub=
lic still exists. However, it seems to have lessened somewhat as
AMSTRUT-2 gains confidence in the language and in dealings with the
public. There is little question that a contributing factor to the
lessening of this problem is the reliance placed by AMSTRUT-2 on
AMLYRIC-1 who serves as business advisor, buffer and hand-holder.
8. The problem of projecting the image of the AMSTRUT-2 Founda–
tion as an independent charitable organization remains. The appli-
cation for tax exempt status to the state of registry is in the works
and when this application is approved it is likely that there will be
an increase of private donations which, because of the new status, will
be tax deductible. The problem lies in the dilatory behavior of the
state authorities.
9. AMSTRUT-2 continues to be attractive to certain extremist
political groups whose patriotic claims of objectives would often
appear to parallel those of AMSTRUT-2 and the Cuban exile community
as a whole. AMSTRUT-2 has not always been able to sort out the "good
guys" from the "bad guys" and the problem lies in fending off these
extremist groups and preventing them from exploiting AMSTRUT-2 for
partisan political ends.

D.
PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER
10. AMLYRIC-1 has been in negotiation with a group of
organizations at Harvard University which wish to sponsor an
AMSTRUT-2 appearance there. The tentative plan at this writing
is for AMSTRUT-2 to appear during the first part of calendar
1967.
11.
The ghost-written AMSTRUT-2 book on AMTHUG-1 should be
ready for first reading at least sometime during the next quarter.
12. It is planned to have AMSTRUT-2 prepare a rebuttal
(probably to be ghost-written by AMLYRIC-1) to the interview with
Fidel CASTRO which appeared in the January issue of Playboy maga-
zine.
13.
Further speaking engagements and tours by AMSTRUT-2 are
being planned for the next reporting period. It is also planned
that, with the official approval of the tax-exempt status of the
Foundation, an extensive fund raising campaign will be launched to
provide working capital and funding cover for operational activi-
ties as well as humanitarian and social welfare programs in conso-
nance with the AMSTRUT-2 Foundation charter.

☐ Letters Regarding Greek Shipping and Cuba
ACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES
Action: FYI
The economic research unit of AMSCROLL has throughout the past
year received seven anonymous letters from Athens. These letters
describe in detail Greek and Lebanese shipping with Cuba and appear
to have been written by someone knowledgeable of his subject. The
author apparently has access to AMSCROLL publications as he makes
reference to "your circulars". We forward a set of these letters
by separate cover as they may be of interest and of possible use.
The SCROLL shipping studies have made a veiled acknowledgment of
receipt of this material by referring to information received from
friends in Greece; however, AMSCROLL has used only those facts that
we can check out here. As indicated on certain of the letters,
copies of various ones have been sent to the "Ministry for Foreign
Affairs, Washington"; the U.S. Ambassador, London; or the U.S.
Ambassador, Athens. A copy of the last letter received by AMSCROLL was
sent all three.

CUBAN
TRADING
"
Econome Research Bu.
Unidad Revolutionaria,
10 S.E. 9th Street,
MIALI, Fla. USA
Last week we wrote you few notes regarding illegal Cuban trading
also that the Greek Authorities, no doubt through US pressure (AT LAST),
are now investigating... names of ships and Owners who have been trading
with Cuba illegally since 1963. There is now quite a lot of propaganda
going on that these investigations will be expedited through the Harbour
Masters in Greece, and Consular Authorities in ports outside Greece.
This news is of course to please USA, and to send to sleep those who
know nothing about the business, ordinary public opinion. As we said
before nothing much will be done, except some isolated, probably, cases,
mostly of small Owners to just please USA etc., In fact, nothing will
be done, because the Creek Authorities will firstly have to punish
THEMSELVES before they can punish the Owners, Captains etc., mainly for
the following reasons:
'
I. The Greek Authorities know at all times where Greek ships are
trading, through their special Departments. They knew and
know where the ships were and are, and have never done anything
about it.
2. If in any special cases they did not know themselves they
knew it through your circulars, also through the Black lists
issued by the USA Authorities.
3 Many ships arrived or sailed or called for bunkers and
supplies through Greek portsfor ports abroad with Greek
Consular Authorities attending), and obtained clearance papers
for Cuba or cleared having arrived from Cuba. Not a word was
said about it .
'
4. AND MOST IMPORTANT.
Greek ships, by special law, pay Income Tax, nothing on profits
as other industries, but on each charter party voyage, whether
ordinary voyage or timecharter. They pay a percentage ranging
from 1 to 4 on the gross freight or hire, depending on the.
age of the shop (excluding new ships up to five years old paying
nothing. Tax is payable in six monthly periods. When the Income
Tax Return is submitted to the Inland Revenue, Collector of
Taxes (under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Finance, the
following Documents are submitted and attached to the Returns.
A/. The CHARTER PARTY (properly certified).
B/.
Freight Statement showing exact details of freight
rate, tons of cargo carried under that charterparty,
and the total freight(gross) earned and upon which
the tax percentage is payable
C/ Sworn deposition of the Owners that all documents
submitted are correct abid true, again confirming
the gross earnings of the voyage, which voyage must
be explained in detail, port loaded, port discharged,
dates, duration etc.,
.”
D/ MASTERS LOG BOCK duly certified by the Harbour Master
or Greek Consular Authority, if vessel abroad at the
time, this under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of

It will be observed that in addition to all other sources of infor
ation, the Ministry of Finance (Inland Revenue) and the Ministry of
'
14-00000

'
Mercantile Marine, were specifically advised, on each occasion, upon
each voyage, by the Owners themselves, for the purpose of paying tax,
the Authorities having been, and being very strict, in ensuring that no
delay took place in submitting the Returns, and paying Tax. Anyone
can, therefore, see who is the first and biggest lawbreaker. Obviously,
the Greek Authorites first and the Owners keth second. As we said
previously, faboulous profits have been made by the lawbreakets-the
Owners (mostly the friends of officials, and mainly Frangistas clique)
but such profits were partly shared by the Goverment, through higher
tax pernentage. If there was no illegal Cuban trading really permitted,
these Greek ships would be employed in other trades, with small profits,
and less tex to pay. We really feel that the USA is to bunk blans because
they were warned a very long time ago, alemost soon after the law breaking
hed commenced, and several times afterwards, and through you, but nothing
was done about it and allowed the comedy to continue. Officials almost
openly say here that the USA did not really think that trading stop
because the prohibitive law was passed in 1963 and that they knew that
the low was passed only for politics and not to to be enforced. Whether
this is true or not, onl" the USA know. It is also seid no the Greek
Authorities do not mind NOW starting enforcing the law, since Cuban
trade has been restricted through the low price obtainalbe for sugar
(about 214 per ton), and the economic difficulties of Cuba, thus also
restricting imports into Cuba. Meantime of course millions and millions
of dollars have been made from past trading, and for partly present
trading, which enabled their chief partner and collaborators FRANGISTAS
clique to build a vast empire of ships, so not much harm can be done
even if they stop it now. There is no doubt, the USA have been very
unfair and unjust to law abiding citizens. The USA should either have
demanded that both Greece and Lebanor.(who made the las in return. no
doubt of USA help to these countries) comply with their Agrement with
the USA and enforce the prohibitive laws of their respective countries,
or relieve them of the obligation and cancelling the laws, so that all
Greek and Lebanon Owners had the same chance of trading. USA's attitude
in doing nothing about it, really makes them as guilty as the other
two countries. You will find we are sure, that all the information
we gave you in our previous and several reports, was correct and
substantiated. All we have to say now is that any charters which alledgedly
are still valid because they were made before the prohibitive laws are
as fake
as the investigations and punishments the Greek Officials are
supposed to be making againstthe law breakers. You will see how true
also these will prove to be unless the USA, if they want to, really
investigate themselves the investigators, with all the precise details
we have given you in past reports, and the present. We repeat, if nothing
else, the USA owe it to the lawabiding Owners, to investigate the matter
themselves, with their officials, and top men (including the examination
of all Incone Tax Returns as we said above), and see to it that law
breakers, all of them small and big, are punished, and flags withdrawn,
and all further trading is stopped immediately. It will, generally, do
the USA good, if they were to prove to the world, people and Govenments,
even their friends and Allies, that the USA sees to it that Agreements
made with them must be kept and that they allow no doublecrossing and
deceit.

CUBAN TRADING
Last year we gave you information and full details of vessels under
GREEK and LEBANON flags which continued, and still CONTINUE trading
with Cuba, the biggest and most influential of them being FRANGISTAS,
trading under both flags. We told you last year that we did not think
Frangistas would stop trading. He has not. Only recently when a group
of loyal and lawful Greek Owners took the matter to Greek Parliament,
the U.S.A. Authorities appeared to wake up and demanded that the Minister
of Foreign Affairs should ask the Minister of Mercantile Marine, to
produce a list of Owners still trading with Cuba. How come that a Greek
Minister of Mercantile Marine should have a list, a very long list, of
Greek ships still trading with Cuba, and yet he had done nothing about
to stop the illegal trading, in contravention of his laws. Few months
ago, few small Owners, the small fish of course, were asked to show where
their ships had been trading, knowing of course they had been trading with
Cuba. The local Courts were still " making enquiries". Nothing was done
naturally about Frangistas, whoch is responsible for about 90% of the
whole movements. How can he be prosecuted, by his partners, since it
is more than obvious and clear that whatever he does has the blessing of
the Authorities, both in Greece and in Lebanon. Frangistas has been
openly boasting, and he has proved his point, that the laws of Greece and
Lebanon, caly apply to ordinary individuals, not to HIM. We do not know
what the Minister's list is, but we shall not be surprised if that list
contains only a fraction of his movements, and he will no doubt say that
he has not fixed any ship at all since, the law was passed in 1963 but that
his contract was signed before the law. Of course he will. Any contact
can be faked and back-dated, with the connivance of the Charterers.
The only contract Frangitas had was with the Russians and the Russians
never make contracts for more than one year. He has signed severa
contracts with the Russians since 1963. But let us forget about the
Russians for a moment. Did he also have MANY
years contracts with
the Poles with the Hungarians, the Chechoslovakians, Boulgarians
the Germans, the Chinese, the Syrians, the French, the Dutch, all
Scandinavians
etc.,
All the sugar in the World, and hundreds of ships
would not be enogh to cover these, had there been contracts. No, all
his cargoes to Cuba and from Cuba (with possibly few cargoes with the
Russians carried latest few months after the law) were contracted after
the law, and were fixed in the open markets a cargo or two or three at a
time, either direct withthe countries concerned or via London, and his
ships have appeared in Freight lists on the day they were fixed, in
competition with other Owners and flags. If you or the USA Authorities
were to appoint a reputable Chartering Broker in London, he would tell
you exactly upon which date, what quantity, what destination. what rate
of freight, each cargo was contracted. Why do not you ask the Greek and
Lebanon Authorities to demand that he produces a list of his 36 vessels
with all their logbooks, the charter parties, the timesheets, the #freight
statements, and banking receipts and let all these be examined by the
London Broker not the Greek or Lebanon Authorities who cover his
illegal trading. And what about the Cubans. Did Frangistas also have
very long contracts with the Cubans, signed before the law in 1963,
are still valid and unexpired? Is this why Frangistas was in Havana at
at end of last year, and again beginning of this year, when he fixed six
liberties on timecharter for 9) 12 months, commencing early in
1966, and did he also fix the EFTHYCHIA for three years timechurter with
the Cubans, during his visit in Havana as stated above, before the law
was passed in 1963, bearing in mind that the vessel was built by the
Russians at the end of 1965? Do you know that Frangistas is till nego-
tiating with the Cubans, and Russians for the fixing of the 35 further
ships the Russians will be building for him. Do you know that next
January, the new sugar season starts, and that he already is in touch
and
14-00000

.
with private Charterers, not the Russians or Cubans, for the fixing of
his older tonnage, the Liberties? This takes place at a time that
Greek and possibly Lebanon Authorities are supposed to be prosecuting him
for his past sing. This is how much notice he takes of the Authorities.
Dozens of Masters, Officers etc., including Frangistas are supposed to
be in prison, to have paid huge fines, and to have lost their flags,
in accordance withe the povisions of the law. To our knowledge no one
has been imprisoned, no one has paid fines, no flag has been withdrawn,
and any time you want Frangistas do not look for him in his office. He
will not be there. He has no time for office, he is too busy with the
Authorities in Athens or Lebanon. Well no one could ever imagine
that the USA Authorities would continue to bętaken for a ride, and to
continue giving their aid to countries which use it against them. May
be this is the American Policy, who knows. The USA did in fact say
recently that unless Cuban trading is stopped, they would stop their aid.
Firstly is this enough, does it mean they do not mind for trading so
far, so long as further trading is stopped, which will clear up and
justify all Frangistas past sins? And secondly, we are certain Frangi-
stas, will find the way, to continue trading. Who is to stop him. The
Americans obviously cannot the Greeks and Lebanese will not, therefore
the Show goes on. Which means CRIME DOES PAY, and stupid those who think
otherwise. As before, it is gretted that we have to write to you again
anonymously, and hope you forgive us. May be in your usual very inforna-
tive circulars you can make your comments.

CUBAN TRADING
We expected by now some action from your end or from the American
Authorities to whom we had sent our previous copied communication to
you(Washington, Foreign Ministry, and U.S.A, Embassy, London), but regret
that, at least to our knowledgs, no action has been taken yet, and we
assume this by virtue of the fact that the ships we mentioned previously
just carry on the voyages for which have been fixed, and their Owners
openly negotiate further similar business from Cuba' as most of the
trade to Cuba is presently done by Red flag ships. However, we supplement
our previous letter by giving you some additional information.
A. Some Kerohants in Cuban Trading, but mainly D.'Enree, of Paris and Genev
fix vessels or large contracts. with a long list of options as to
where the cargo will/discharged, as often cargoes are shipped and not
sold until after shipment and sailing of the vessel from loading port.
These options start from Casablanca/Continent and continue into all
Mediterranean/2ed Sea/P.Gulf/India/Colombo/Malaya ports, sometimes as
Yar as Japan, freight rate depending at which port cargo is discharged,
and fibal orders are usually given seven days after sailing from Cuba.
As stated, the Lebanon Authorities costensibly allow Lebanon flag ships
to carry these cargoes to Arab Countries only, always subject to
license. Owners apply for such license for Arab countries, and then
"if the Merchant orders the ship to say Italy or Germany or Japan, the
ship just carries the cargo. Some Owners just do not apply for a license
at all, and the Lebanon Authorities know what goes on, but turns the
other way.
Greek and Lebanon flag ships just carry on trade in Cuba, and if you
say they do not, then either you do not know about it, or they must
sanouflage their flags, or must fake ( as regards eventual destination)
their documents such as charter parties, Bills of Lading, manifests
eto., Even the number of ships trading in Cuba given in your
circulars is not correct it is much larger, may be you do this
intentionally for political reasons or maybe because you do not know.
.
S. Both the Greek and Lebanon Goverments are in a position, in accordance
with their famous laws, to stop immediately any ship, to take the
flag away, and to impose upon the Owners very heavy fines and if the
Owners do not pay the fines, then the ship will be immobilised since
the Government will refuse cancellation of registry certificate, meaning
that the ship cannot be put in a nother flag, and therefore, become
virtually non-existent. They can do lots of thigs, these Governments,
but only if they want to and only if they want to apply their laws.
To our knowbedge, and we can assure you, we arevery will informed, nɔ
suoß thing has taken place no ship has been stopped and no one has
beca fined, and maybo, and mostly likely, will never be.
•
Do Whilst Owners we mentioned in our previous letter continue business as
usual, and others, we notice with some surprise, that you are conti-
aucusly onpaining and mentioning the name of Tsavliris firm. Whereas
we naturally condoan and deplore this firm's continuation of this trade,
let us also be just and fair. This firm at least continues in a lawful
manner, since they are sending only ships with flags whose Goverments
permit such trading in an unrestricted manner. So this firm are not
Law breakers, whatever else they can be accused of. On the contrary,
you do not mention names of other Owners, who among other thigs aro 19
also Law breakers and emongst them the biggest and most influential,
14-00000

Is Frangistas, of Lisbon and Athens, represented by Purvis, London, having
at his disposal some 35 Greek and Lebanon flag ships, trading mostly in
Ca. Frangistas is also the sole importer of Russian timber into Greece,
a huge trade. Also this same firm made an agreement with the Soviet Union
few months ago and by virtue of this Agreement, the Soviet Union has
commenced building for his fleet cargo ships, bulk carriers, tankers,
and deepsea fishing "rawlers, at present worth $150.000.000, against
Greek products, and some of these ships ( Greek flag) will find their
way to Cuba wwe are almost sure.
'
E.Meanting some of the existing Greek and Lebanon flag Cuban traders were
purchased with loans, through their Governments, and these Governments
in turn received and receive help from the U.3.A. so in a vicious circle,
some of the American money has gone for the purchase of ships to help
trade with Castro's Cuba, whilst millions of American money is spent to
stop this trade. What a world we live in.
?.It must be very obvious to you that many people, watchful people, intelli-
gent and influential know what goes on, and will continue to watch
things until, it is noped this mockery is stopped. It is also obvious
that somewhere in one or more places, bribery and corruption are taking
place, otherwise this state of affairs could not have started and cannot
continue. We do not wish to believe that the American Authorities do
not know what goes. If Greek and Lebanon officials are bribed to close
their eyes, O.K. but who stops the American Authorities to box the sars" "
of the Greek and Lebanon Authorities for allowing this stituition
to continue, and in so doing, they breaking firstly the laws of their
respective Countries, and breaking whatever agreement they have with
the U.S.A. Government, and, what is more, with the American Taxpayers
money.
1.We do not intend continuing these letters, we think we have said enough
and that we have given you and American Authorities sufficient information
which can be checked and verified. What we now want is results, namely,
complete and instant stoppage of all Greek and Lebanon flag ships
trading with Cuba, otherwise you will find that one affer another many
other Owners, small and large companies will re-enter, or enter Cuban
trading with Greek and Leban flag ships, and no one should dare to
condemn them. Also, do not forget that there are plenty of Companies
which do not trade with U.S.A. anyway, therefore blacklisting is not of
any importance.
Apologies again for the ananymity of this letter, and trust our
reasons for it will be appreciated, especially when our facts are checked
and found correct.

Dear Dr. Rivas-Vasquez:"
In response to your letter of November 19th, concerning
Greek and Lebanese shipping to Red Cuba ports, I am enclosing
some information I have obtained which should fulfill your
requirements. In the case of the Lebanese Directives, you
will note that no specific reférence is made to shipping to
Cuba.
Despite the fact that the enclosed information is not
classified or restricted, it was obtained from a sensitive
source and I would appreciate it if you would handle this
matter discreetly.
We have been very pleased with the information your
organization has been providing us concerning shipments to
Cuba.
I hope that the data provided will be helpful to you.

He wrote you few days ago about the illegal cuban trading and we now
enclose herewith cutting from todays 5th November 1966, Piraeus Newspaper
NASTILIA EXPRESS " from which you will observe that action is now being
taken (three years too late and after millions of tons of cargo has been
carried to and from Cuba) against Owners, Captains etc., of Greek ships.
The Greek Ministry of Hercantile Marine are also instructing port Autho-
rities to enquire and investigate which ships traded with Cuba since 1963.
You see until now,
or even now, the Ministry did not know... and now
they will try to find out. No doubt owing to some half hearted pressure by
the USA Authorities the Greek Authorities are at last compelled to at
least show that they are trying to find out now which ships traded, -
also no doubt they will find some ships which traded and will prosecute
the Captains and the Owners, and perhaps carry out some sort of punishment
and naturally it will be the small and unimportant Owners they will trace.
The big and influential will not even be traced. If one has to be traced,
like Frangistas, they will find all necessary excuses and reasons for
not prosecuting. The job for enquiring, prosecuting, and punishing the
offenders is left with those with whose connivance and knowledge trading
continued since 1953, and still continues, so anyone can imagine, what
kind of a job they will do. We wonder why no enquiries were made during
1963, 1964 1965. Simply because enquiries were not necessary. You do
not enquire about something you already know. The latest excuse of Fran-
"gistas, as we think you already know, comes through his brother, who is
a Professor in Salonica University, that the law prohibiting Cuban trading
was Unconstitutional. This joke was as good as any, even better than the
one about his false or fake contracts and charter parties. His other brother
who is the real influence with the Russians and is a timber merchant having
the monopoly of mall Russian timber imports into Greece and some fruits
from Greede to Russia, is the one who helped to secure the building in
Russia of some 35 large liners and bulk carriers plus a huge fish trawling
fleet, in exchange for Greek products, and part payment in cash from the
vast profits they made out of their 35 second hand liberty vessels in
Cuban trading. Even in this respect, do not forget that this privilege
of building these fleets( and we understand further building contracts
are cooking) was only given to the Frangistas clique by the Greek and
Russian Authorities, and not to any other Greek Owner. Do the USA Authori-
ties really think that the Greek Authorities ( and in a smaller degree
the Lebanon Authorities) will prosecute Frangistas, and even if they do,
for eyewash they will find him guilty? You will see that nothing will
happen. What we now have to say, as the only solution, may seem unpatriotic,
but it is the only way to stop this rot. This is that the USA should dis-
continue immediately and without any notice, all Military and Financial
Aid to Greece and Lebanon, with intimation to them that they will
consider renewing same, as soon as firstly ALL trading with Cuba is stopped
immediately disregarding any so called old contracts, and secondly AFTER
they have prosecuted and punished peroperly all lawbreakers, small and
big ones alike, and after all flags have been cancelled. This second action
is a big debt the USA Authorities owe to all the Greek and Lebanon Owners
who complied withe laws of their countries and executed the wishes of the
USA. It is a moral debt. These people will gain nothing because they
do not ask for any money for all fortunes they lost in not trading with
Cuba, but the Jon, as a country known as just and democratic, will have
failed in their duty if they are coment to just see discontinuation of
further trading with: Cuba and no punishment for the past sinners. and
talking of sins we think that the Greek and Lebanon Authorities committed
and still commit a bigger sin than the Owners, since the Owners are simply
out for high profits, but it is the Authorities who broke their word
'

their agreement
with the USA. Really it is the Authorities which deserve
a bigger punishment. If the USA takes the suggested action, it will serve
two purposes. One is that the question of Cuba will be settled and the
other and probably more important is that other Countries which also
receive aid from USA will take notice and appreciate that same thing
may happen to them if they, sone way or another, play the same games
as Greece and Lebanon. The USA if it is results that they want and not
talk and excuses - must ACT first and TALK afterwards. When this is
done, the Authorities will trace in no time at all all the lawbreakers,
will prosecute and punish them, and will stop at once all further trading.
Simply because they already know all lewbreakers, and they have all the
powers to punish them, but will not do so until it hurts, and it is
going to hurt a lot if the Aids were stopped.

CUBAN TRADING
Your circulars regarding Cuban affairs and trading contain useful
information but it seems that neither you nor the American Authorities
are well informed. You know that, through American pressure, the Greek
Government banned, several years ago, all trading with Cuba for Greek flag
vessels, except few which were on timecharter and were allowed to run
their charters, which finished a very long time ago. Similarly, the Lebanɔ
Government banned all trading with Cuba for Lebanon vessels, few months
ago, and only allow, subject special licence, their ships to carry goods
from and and to countries of the Arab League. Both countries passed laws
to this effect, and both state that infringement of the law carries very
heavy fines against the Owners and Masters, and withdrawal of the flag.
That is what the laws say, but what is actually happening is another
matter. Greek and Lebanon flag vessels have continued, since banning,
to be fixed, have carried and are carrying cargoes, through a number of
Owners, such as Frankistas( Franco Shipping Co. of Lisbon and Athens,
a per Purvis Shipping Co. London, their U.K. Agents), bank owning about
35 Greek and Lebanon flag Liberties and similar vessels, also Vlassopoulo,
Livanos, etc., also owning a great number of ships with these flags.
They simply say they do not care a dann about the ban, and continue to
making fortunes in the Cuban trading, the reason being that as most
other law abiding Owners with these flags do not go to Cuba, the market
remains wide open for these people. They do not even try to hide, they
just fix their ships, mostly in the Baltic Exchange, London, and Athens,
but also direct with Charterers in Poland, Hungary, Boulrgaria,
Russia, etc. and with Paris, and Geneve. The Governments of Greece and
Lebanon, who made the laws, just look on, doing nothing about it, and
this means that the laws were made, for paper value only. Some of these
Owners fix their ships by name and flag, others just fix a contract
to be carried by ships, to be nominated later, and later they nominate
greek and Lebanon ships. Only the last few days, the following were fixed
on the London market: Frankistas, 50.000 tons sugar from Cuba to England
for sugar Merchants Tate and Lyle, London, to be carried in 2 or 3 months,
and Frankistas has already nominated the NICOLAOS F.(Greek flag) and
San Spyridon (Lebanon flag), for 20.000 tons and the remaining 30.000
tons are being nominated also for Creek and Lebanon flag ships. The same
Owner just also fixed one cargo for Halmo (Sweden), and one to Gdynia,
Poland. He is presently negotiating several other cargoes, för his
large Greek and lebanon flag ships, with the aforementioned concerns,
including another contract with D' Enree of Paris, via Geneve.
The AIS GIANNIS (Lebanon) was fixed with Dreyfus, London few days
ago, to carry a cargo of beans from Vera Cruz and Tampico to Cuba, and
after for sugar to Europe Another concern trading with Cuba is
Tsavliris of London and Athens, but this firm is not trading with Greek
Lebanon flag ships.
:
The World thinks that you and American Athorities know all that goes on
in Cuba. If so, it means that neither you nor American Authorities know
and do not mind such trading with Greek and Lebano ships if they know!
We have given you some details of the latest fixtures. You and American
Authorities can check up without any thouble and when they verify the
correctness, they will no doubt protest immediately to the respective
Goverments, ask them to stop immediately the carriage of these cargoes
and punish their Owners etc., as per their laws, and demand log books,
freight accounts, etc. to verify all past trading, a tremendous one. If
they bay or you, do not do anything out it, it will mean that both
you and American Government knew and know about this illegal trading and
do not mind, in which case, we can more than assure you, that within the
"
te
!..

next few weeks, the so far law abiding Owners of Greek and Lebanon flag
vessels, will also re-commence or start trading to Cuba, for the simple
reason that they will feel that they are breaking no laws, since they
who asked the Governments of Greece and Lebanon to pass the laws, do
not mind if they are not complied with. It remains, however a great
mysteery, because we cannot believe that the American Authorities do not
know about this trading and why they have not protested to the Lebanon
and Greek Governments, and if they do not know, then there is something
very drastically wrong with their Intelligence.
Anonymous letters are not good things, in fact quite deplorable, but
we trust you will understand the reason for anonymity in this case, and
since you will no doubt like to know who wrote it, wecan tell you is
written on behalf of some people who are very bitter and disappointed
that their compliance with the law puts them in disadvantage, especially
if it is proved that to comply with the law does not pay. we have
given you sufficient information to check facts immediately and stop
all the wrong doers. If they are not stopped, then your circulars will
have to incrise, in the very near future; the number of Greek and Lebano
ships trading with Cuba.

On the 16th instant we wrote you about the Castro Delegation which
arrived in athens recently to conclude new chartering contracts. We
can now report that, the Delegation consisted of,
.
Mr. Hernandez, Chief General Manager of CUFLET, Havana.
Mr. Fornaguera, Chartering Dept. Cuflet, Havana, and that.
these two gentlemen arrived here at the invitation, and.
as guests of FRANGISTAS with whom they remained during
their Athens stay. Faking of previous contracts discussed,
new contracts negotiated and concluded, both for cargoes
to Cuba, and sugar from Cuba for not only next year, but
for longer periods, covering liberties and ships being
built in Russia, and to be built, all new ships are and
will be under Greek Flag, older vessels are either Greek or
Lebanon. After Athens they went to Moscow where they covered
that side of the business, and now they are in Londɔr,
having further talks with Frangistas London partners
PURVIS SHIPPING CO.
Mr. Fornaguera, was until early this year, the manager of
CUTLET, London! for three years) and is now again in
Havana's office. Both men are returning to davana shortly.
When the Delegation asked Frangistas about the steps presently
taken by the Greek Government in investigating( ???) ships which have
been trading with Cuba since 1963, and prohibition of further trading,
Frangistas assured them they have nothing to worry about, the prohibi-
tion is a fake, so are the investigations and threatened punishment. de
also reminded them that these investigations took place before, but all
their cargoes were carried just the same, and numerous charters were
(fixed at various intervals by Frangistas through them, through Russia,
and, through many private charterers. He also assured them that whatever
he does is done with the full knowledge of the Ministries, and particulalry
his special partners, high officials.
Most of previous information in our reports, and the information
contained in this report obtained direct, confidentially, from Brangistes
own Athens Office. If you, or USA Government have any wish to check up,it
is very easy, and simple. If you or USA do not care to check now, then
you will see the accuracy of the report as time goes on. We are more than
certain you are satisfied that all our previous reports proved accurate
and were substetiated. We have to confess that we are now beginning to
believe that even you and USA muthorities know all facts and truth and
either do not care or cannot do anything about it. There is no other
logical explanation. Except that US who are fighting Communists and
Dictators in the name of Democracy and freedom, it is this same US who
are creating a Dictator in the name of Frangistas, whom it is the USA who
help him create vaste fleets ( rumours have it that shortly Frangistas
is going to Moscow to place further building contracts) at the expense
of democratic Greek Owners, who were compelled to either scrap and lay up
their ships(many have done this) rather then go to Cuba, at the request

SPECIAL REPORT ON HURRICANE INEZ' EFFECTS ON CUBAN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION,
SUGAR
ટ
Evaluation
The ERB estimates that Cuba will lose a total of 307,000 metric tons of
sugar in its 1967 harvest as a result of hurricane Ines.
Createst damage was done to the caña quedada, the uncut eane left over from
"the previous year. When Ines struck the ERB estimates that there were about
four million tons of caña quedada which should produce about 500,000 tons of
raw sugar assuming a saccharose yield of 12.6%. The ERB arrives at this loss
figure due the fact that fully 80%, or 3,200,000 tons., of the cañía quedada was
in the southern and central parts of tas Villas Province and the southern part
of Oriente Province which is where Inez hit Cuba with its greatest force. In Cy
ba any hurricane usually destroys about 85% of the caña quedada that is hit,
Thus the ERB estimates that Ines destroyed 1,360,000 tons. This will amount to
a sugar loss of 171,000 tons, using the 12.6 saccharose yield figure.
The balance of the sugar loss will come from the damage to the ratoon cana,
the cane that sprouts again after having been cut. The ERB estimates a total
of 16,400,000 tons. of ratoon in Las Villas and Oriente provinces. The ERB's
studies show that Ines struck 33% of this cane, or 5,400,000 tons. Historical-
ly, a conservative estimate of past damage to ratoon cane that is struck by hug
ricanes in Cuba would be 20%. Using this, Cuba's loss would be about 1,080,000
tons. Again, using the 12.6% saccharose yield figure, the raw sugar loss from
the ratoon cane amounts to about 136,000 tuns.
Available Information:

TOBACCO
Commentary
Strong winds and heavy rains affect the quality of this plant, as long as
they damage the tobacco leaves. Besides this, the leaves get stained and some
rot as a result of being in contact with the wet soil, thus affecting the qual-
ity in one case, and becoming a total loss in the other. If the area is flo-
oded, most tobacco leaves will rot.

BULGARIA REJECTS CUBAN SUGAR SHIPMENT
Last month the Economic Research Bureau (ERB) reported the establishment of
Soviet-Cuban quality control organization to undertake steps to maintain the
quality of Cuban sugar. This organization, which incidentally has been pattern
ed along the administrative guidelines and regulations of the Soviet Union, has
been made necessary by the increasing difficulties the Soviet refineries ar
having with Cuban raws. The phenomenon of declining quality of Cuban sugar is
further pointed up by Bulgaria's rejection of the first Cuban susar shipment to
that country from the 1966 harvest. This rejection, which occured last August,
was due to the high moisture content of the Cuban sugar. The source of this
information is the Cuban Institute for Sugar Research.
CUBAN CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEMBER RECOGNIZES MISTAKES
Carlos Rafael Rodríguez, one of the key figures of the Partido Socialista
Popular (nane under which the Cuban Communist Party operated from 1939 to 1962),
former Head of INRA (Castro's National Agrarian Reform Institute), and present-
ly a member of the Central Committee of the Cuban Communist Party, was inter-
viewed by Josef. Timmer, correspondent for Budapest's NEPSZAVA, on September 16,
1966
The Economic Research Bureau has considered Timmer's statements a sound
explanation of the real economie situation existing in Cuba. Therefore, we be-
lieve our readers will be interested in excerpts from NEPSZAVA's story of its
interview with Timmer
Sugar
exert our greatest efforts in the sugar industry. Despite this
fortunately we failed to attain our objectives this year and did not even
come close to the 1965 results, primarily because of natural disasters, partic
ularly a great drought. We would like to harvest 6.5 million tons of sugar cane
next year and attain a record output by 1968." (*)
Industrial and agricultural productivity:
ཎྞཾ -
"Industrial and agricultural productivity diminished after the revolution.
Many people think that one must work less under socialism than under capitalism
and, consequently, do not fulfill the legal working time. It is also true that
this is partly due to the fact that work is not organized with sufficient care,
particularly in agriculture. Moreover, serious problems are caused by the fact
that the working people are not paid according to their output. Remuneration
according to output, is, nevertheless, applied in agriculture, but we have not
managed to introduce it in industry yet.”
Skilled personnel:
:
"The shortage of experts is a very great problem. Imagine what tremendous
(*) ERB note: This constitutes a contradiction of Castro's stated goals. The
Perspective Sugar Plan called for a 7.5 million-ton mark for
1967 and Castro has stressed this figure in his speeches over
and over again.

difficulties we must overcome in this respect when, for example, an aptitude
test carried out in over 2,000 state farms two years ago revealed that 60 per-
cent of the heads of farms and 80 percent of the heads of work brigades did not
even have three years of elementary schooling."
Textile Industry:
"Cuba is a country badly off in raw materials, which are also very diffi-
cult to procure. The position of industry is closely linked to the disengage=
ment of the United States. The Americans established factories and also pro-
vided · raw materials before the revolution in Cuba. The factories belong to us
today, but we must fend for ourselves with respect to raw materials. What this
means is faithfully reflected by the fact that raw materials constitute 50 per-
cent of our overall imports. Not even in this way can we meet our requirements,
and, therefore, 40 to 60 of the capacity of our factories and plants lie idle.
Agrarian reform:
"We have not distributed land among the peasants but we have established
state farms, so-called people's farms."
The ERB's comment is that a Cuban Communist talks more honestly to a Commu-
nist Hungarian correspondent than the régime talks to the world.
FREE WORLD SHIPPING TO CUBA. DOWN. 65.8%
A total of fourteen Western vessels called on Red Cutan ports during the
month of August.
The August 1966 total represents a drop of 41.5% in Western shipping to Red:
Ouba when compared with the August 1963 total, and a drop of 65.8% when com
pared with the August 1964 total (*).
In August's list, Great Britain continued to lead the maritime fifth colung
ists with eight vessels, followed by Greece with three, and Lebanon, France and
Italy with one vessel each.

BRAND NEW 9,500 TON CUBAN FREIGHTER. GOES AGROUND
The brand new 9,500-ton Cuban freighter MAFFO went aground on September
26th 1966 half-an-hour out of Casilda port in Cuba while en route to the south
eastern Cuban port of Guayabal where she was scheduled to have loaded sugar for
Japan. This was the first commercial voyage of the M/V MAFFO as she had
made
only one trip prior to this voyage which trip had been to deliver her to Cuba
after her construction in Cadiz, Spain, on February 9, 1966.
Hurricane Inez, which hit this area with full force, probably contributed
to the accident. By October 18, 1965, it was reported that the M/V MAFFO had
been refloated.

During the last months, the Cuban government has had difficulty in keeping
its vessels afloat. The M/V ARACELIO IGLESIAS suffered severe damages after.
crashing into the Norwegian M/V NIDAREID in the Panama Canal last Juño . 11,
1965.
On STARFORT off the coast of Holland. And, on April 27, 1966, another

gian M/V:
newly-tuilt Spanish vessel, the M/V LA PLATA, while on a trip to Japan, was in-
volved in an accident, also in the Panama Canal, with the M/V HONG KONG AMBER
of Liberian registry.
The ERB might comment that comrade Rodríguez's remarks to the Hungarian
correspondent of problems affecting Cuban industry and agriculture might woll
have been applied to Cuban shipping as well.

SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT
LOBSTER EXPORTS CONTINUE TO CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR CUBA
Commercial cources in Canada and confirmed by information obtained in New
York report that the Canadian and French authorities have launched investigations
into the receipt of bad lobster in both Cañada, end France. The BRB has now learn-
ed that a shipment of more than eight thousand cans of Cuban lobster arrived in
France on October 6th aboard the S.S. K THERINA. This shipment was consigned to
"Fourchtein et Cie." and who impounded in its entirety by the French customs au-
thorities who observed that this shipment contained swollen tins. Upon investi-
gation, impurities were discovered, the lobster was found to have been overcooked,
and in some cases gray spots wore observed.
"World Seafood Distributors", a Montreal firm that imports Cuban lobsters
for sale in Canada and for transshipment to Europe, continues to have its diffi-
1 culties with CUBAEXPORT. ERB Cuban commercial sources in Europe report that Sam
Beiner, an officer of "World Seafood", is complaining to CUBAEXPORT that CUBA-
EXPORT is undercutting Beiner's pricos quoted to the intwerp firm of "Hallewyck".
"Halleyck" appoars to be a major European account for "World Seafood" and in
order to protect this business Beiner was forced to toll CUB EXPORT that "World
Seafood" may be forced to quote "Hallowyck" cost Fices for direct shipment of
lobsters from Brazil unless CUBAEXPORT and Cuban commercial representatives in
Paris and The Hague cease these antics. This dispute involves more than two
thousand cartons of lobster.
"World Seafood" maintains a stock of Cuban lobsters in Antwerp. The ERB has
learned that Cuban commercial authorities in Europe have issued written instruc-
tions that in effect claim that more than one thousand cartons of lobster in this
stock are under the control of CUB EXPORT. Upon learning this "World Seafood" in-
formed CUBAEXPORT in Havana that it will cause the arrest of any person removing
these lobsters without pre-payment. The person concerned with attempted removal
of these lobsters is a Mr. J. M. Schwars who appears to be releasing "World Sea-
food"'s lobsters by giving promissory notes which are not guaranteed by any bank
or other institution. "World Seafood" is understandably seeking pre-payment or at
least
a guaranteed note of payment. By late September this dispute reached the
point where
"World Seafood" refused to assume responsibility for a sale of more
than a thousand cartons of lobster made by Schwarz acting on CUBEXPORT instruç-
tions. CUT-AEXPORT counter-claims that Schwarz is "World Seafood "'s agent in these
sales which, of course, "World Seafood" denies.
As if these were not enough problems, "World Seafood" realizes that it can
buy similar lobster in New York at lower prices and is therefore insisting upon
an additional discount from CUBAFXFORT in order to compensate for this differ--
ence.

One of the trade rámes being used in Europe is "Caribbean Queen". This par-
ticular label is for canned Cuban lobster and is being marketed by the firm of
Jacques Fourchstein which is also having its difficulties in this business.
The ERB has looked into the background of Mr. Sam Beiner and of his company,
"World Seafood Distributors". Regarding the company, little can be found other
than the fact that its office is in beiner's home in Montreal. The address is 890
Frazer Avenue, Montreal, PC, Canada. Trade directories of Canadian firms and sim-
ilar sources available here and in New York do not list this firm. Regarding Bei-
ner, the ERB can state that Beiner has been engaged, at least since 1962, in com-
mercial activities involving Cuta. Over the years his interests have been purcha-
sing frogs' legs, lobster, shrimp, fruits, candies, and vegetables. He is known
to think favorably of the Cuban regime and in late September 1962 Beiner was open
ly discussing economic and social progress being made in Cuba while on a visit to
Miami.
Beiner is characterized by people now in Miami and who have known him in
the past in Cuba as being an opportunist who was active in the Havana black mar-
ket.

October 1966 period. The previous all-time-low was the February 1965 total,
when eleven (11) Western vessels called on Red Cuban ports.
The October 1946 total also represents a drop of 73.1% in Western shipping to
Red Cuba when compared with the October 1963 total; a drop of 69.6% compared
with the October 1964 total. and a drop of 66.7% when compared with the Oc
tober 1965 total. (*)

VOL. II No. 4
On November 22, 1966, Mr. Raúl VOLT: Landa met with representatives of the
pross in Miami in order to discuss Cubon trade problems abroad and Cuban econo-
mic problems within. The ERB has felt that Mr. Volta's information will be of
interest to all our readers, 80 therefore this issue of the Economic Intel-
ligence Report contains the verbatim account of Mr. Volta's words.
ST:TEMENT
My name is Raúl VOLT: Landa, and until a few days ago I held the posts of
Trade Counselor to the Cuban Embassy in London, Representative to the Interna-
tional Sugar Council, Representative to the International Coffee Organization, to
the International Wheat Council, and Observer-Delegate to the International Wool
Group.
On November 14th my wife and I were interviewed by the press in New York
at which time we discusred the reasons that prompted our defection. The results
of this conference have appeared in the press and therefore today I would like
to discuss in sore detail economic problems confronting Cuba today with which I
am personally familiar and which, I hope, will be of interest to you gentlemen.
In an effort to be brief and not take too much of your time, my friends here
have been kind enough to reproduce some technical and detailed information on
the following subjects: sugar, tobacco, the problem of convertible currency,
problems with the lobster exports, and usurpation of registered trade marks.
There is also attached a resume of positions held since 1955..
From the economic point of view Castro's communist rigine is well on the
road to reaching a climax after having suffered one economic set-back after an-
othor. Today Cuba's leading cash crop, sugar, can be termed a failure in the
sense that due to a number of factors and particularly mismanagement in Cuba
plus the low world price, it is unable to support the Cuban economy. The second
most important cash crop, tobacco, similerly has been so mismanaged that today
it is an unimportant earner of critically needed foreign exchange.
ra-
This economic chaos has forced the Cuban régime to increasingly desperate
measures in order merely to survive. For example, meat, tobacco, eggs, fruit,
vegetables, coffee, preserves, and shoes are some of the products that today are
exported from Cuba in an attempt to earn the hard currency to purchase heavy
machinery, locomotives, fishing boats, and all the rest necessary to maintain
any semblance of an economy. An unfortunate result of this is that today there
is a serious shortage of the proper foods throughout all of Cuba. There is
tioning. The people have insufficient rice. Even citrus fruits have had to be
rationed. Milk is in critically short supply. There are not enough shoes to go
around. Coffee, long considered a necessity by the people, is sometimes unob-
tainable and is always in short supply. Our beer, famous for years, is now hard-
ly drinkable when it is available. These problems, which before the communist
régime were totally unknown to Cuba, were brought painfully home to me each time
I returned to Havana from my post in London.
:s/com.64FGA-26348
.19. - 120. 26
14-00000
For example, I was in Havana in July after hurricane Alma hit Western Cuba
last June, a number of buildings and houses had to be repaired all over the
city of Havana. Debris from demolitions and subsequent constructions was piled
on the streets. Time passed, but the streets were still full of debris that gave
the city the looks of a bomber target. This caused considerable disgust among
the population of Havana.
Another example is that the food quota on the ration book is largely a.
"paper" reality. What I mean is that the food on the book is rarely available,
and whole months pass without any meat, lard, oil, rice, beans, being distrib-
utod. At this precise time, in Havana, there are no seasoning ingredients avail-
able to the consumer. When the product is available again, the meager book
quota is what each one gets, without any compensation for the time during which
he could not even get that.
As a result of this, queues are longer every day, with people standing in
line since the early morning hours to make sure that they won't be left out.
There are often fights and even minor riots at the queues on account of the ir-
ritation that this situation causes.
Also I have seen that the régime is opening many new restaurants, alleged-
ly to make recreation facilities available to the people. In reality, however,
what they seek is to extract money from circulation, as the prices at these new
places are extraordinarily high. Hence, only the members of the ruling "new
class" may enjoy the new spots, as the working people could never afford them.
I will be happy to attempt to answer any questions that you may have re-
garding those areas of life or of events in Cuba today with which I am familiar.
Thank you.

SUGAR
As the Cuban representative to the International Sugar Council, I was able
to observe at first hand some of the problems facing the Cuban sugar industry.
Some observations follow:
International Aspect:
.
It is well known that all countries that import or produce sugar are making
efforts towards reaching a long-term Sugar Agreement that would stabilize and
solve the critical situation in the world market of over-supply and low price.
Castro's stand to that respect has been to boycott and undermine such efforts.
This has been clearly reflected in Castro's refusal to participate in the
various work groups that have been created for that purpose under the sponsor-
ship of the Secretary General of UNCTAD, Dr. Raul Probish.
Castro believes that by not participating in efforts to reach a Sugar A-
greement he can cause the collapse of the sugar industries in the less efficient
producer countries in order to bring economic hardship to those countries in La-
tin America to which sugar exports are important. Castro's ultimate and, of
course, is to cause internal disturbances in these countries and thus to ripen
them for Castro-commulst subversion. This has been a boomerang to Cuba. The
hoped-for economic disaster in the Latin American nations has not occured. In-
stead, it is occurring in Cuba. The régime is unable to meet its announced
goals (the goal for the sugar year 1966 was 6,500,000 tons whereas 4,455,25$
were actually harvested). To move its sugar, Cuba has been forced to grant spe-
cial discounts, for example to Japan, and to Great Britain. This further com-
pounds the chaotic economic situation in Cuba as the country obtains even less
per pound that the current low price of .014 §.
Internal Aspect:
The blows received by Cuba's sugar economy from the hurricanes and droughts
are nothing compared to the damage caused by the improvisation and incompetency
of those who today mismanage our country's affairs. The shortage of manpower
for cutting the cane, the enlistment of inexperienced volunteer" cane cutters,
the failure of combine machines from the USSR, and the deteriorating situation
in the transportation of the cane crown the existing economic anarchy.
The régime has been committed by Castro to produce 10,000,000 tons of sugar
in 1970, which figure sugar economists in and out of Cuba agree is most unlikely.
However, the attempt to reach this goal is resulting in activities that amount
to economic suicide. Cuba is buying generators in England costing more than one
million dollars which will be used to provide power for the "Centros de Acopio"
(reception centers). The concept of these centers was tried many years ago in
Cuba and discarded as both inefficient and uneconomical. There is no reason to
believe that anything has happened that will change this. So, what to do with
the generators?
One might conclude a discussion of Cuba's sugar problems with the observa-
tion that never before in Cuba's economic history has so much discussion, so
many speeches, and so much activity resulted in such a loss of effectiveness.

TOBACCO
I was associated with the tobacco exporting enterprise (Empress CUBATABA-
CO) for four years including three years as Assistant Manager. I am happy to
make my first hand knowledge available.
Agricultural Aspect.-
This industry is another example of the administrative clumsiness of the
Communists. Once the second industry of Cuba, and the source of great prestige
for our country, it seems to be doomed to total destruction since the Communist
régime took control of it.
Leaf tobacco production has declined by over 30% comparing the 1965 figure
(32,000 M.T.) with the traditional production of over 45,000 M.T. yearly. The
best tobacco fields of the famed Vuelta Abajo zone, which gave the best wrapper
in the world, have experienced a sharp decline of over 70% in yield and quality,
due to lack of fertilizers and the necessary care.
About 20% of the plantations are affected by the bug, as the fields and
curing sheds are not sprayed. The INR^ policy of very low prices paid and lack
of incentives given to the most efficient producers has forced the producers to
divert their lands to less risky and more profitable crops. This is particular-
ly true of the Remedios and Cabaiguán zones. Peasants trained in tobacco grow-
ing have been absorbed by cane growing areas in order to remedy the critical
manpower situation in the latter, but at the expense of inflicting grave damage
to the tobacco economy.. This has brought the incorporation of "volunteer" work-
ers to the cropping of the leaf, which workers, due to their inexperience in
such a specialized work, break the leaf, with the resulting damage to its qual-
ity.
Industrial Aspect.-
The industrial phase of the tobacco industry has not been better off, and
in our opinion it has been the one that has suffered most from the incompetency
of the régime. The quality, presentation, and production volume of Cuban cigars
has been seriously affected, not only as far as production for national consump
tion is concerned, but also as regards the portion designed for export. It would
be endless to list the wrongs that have been done, but they may be outlined thus:
1) Loss of quality due to the use of raw leaf tobacco and without the nec-
essary aging.
2) Failure to deliver to foreign customers due to the lack of intermediate
materials to finish the product, such as: aluminum tubes for packaging these
cigars, aluminum cases, holders, rings, cedar boxes, etc.
3) Continuous complaints are received from foreign importers, due to the
detection of high percentage of wormed cigars.
4) The traditional blends that gave character to each of the traditional
brands have been changed and altered, which has resulted in the imaginable loss
of quality and prestige.

14-00000
d
-5-
5) Incorporation of inexperienced personnel to the preparation of "Alta
Regalia", (top-quality, hand made) cigars, which affects the finish of the hand-
icrafting cigars with the result that undersized, oversized, or too heavy cigars
are produced.
These and many other irregularities take place today in our industry,
without failing to mention that the climax of all this situation is caused - by
the lack of cigars for national consumption, something definitely unprecedented
in the history of our country.
Trade Aapécts.-
The Cuban Communist régime faces great difficulties in its efforts to make
dollars through tobacco exports, and some of them have been pointed out already.
Nevertheless, I believe that the chief trouble is represented by the mar-
ket limitations suffered by Cuban tobacco today. Castro has been unable to con-
vince his Iron Curtain "friends" to purchase the volume that was formerly ab-.
sorbed by the U.S.. He has only persuaded the USSR, Czechoslovakia, and East
Gormany to tuy a total of approximately 5,000 M.T. The truth, however, is that
these exports have been made with distrust, as there have been reports that Cu-
ba's "friends", after buying this tobacco, re-export it to hard-currency coun-
tries at lower prices than those established by the Empresa CUBATABACO" for the
free world market.
I may cite a specific instance of this. Late in 1962, the Polish enter-
prise ROLIMPEX bought approximately 600 tons of tobacco. The contract specific
ally prohibited re-exportation by the Poles, and provided that any legal diffi-
culties that might arise would be submitted for arbitration. After the deliver-
ies were made to ROLIMPEX, reports began to arrive from the Freo European market
that Cuban tobacco leaf was being offered at a much lower price than that estab-
lished by the Cuban exporting enterprise in its sale of tobacco to Free Europe.
At first, it was thought that this was only a maneuver for lower prices by the
European importers, but, as time passed and CUBATABICO could not place any sales,
the reports, which were still coming in, were given more credence. As a result
of this, I was sent to conduct an on-the-spot investigation in Europe, and, sure.
enough, I discovered that the Poles were indeed re-exporting our tobacco, with
complete disregard of their signed agreement with Cuba. The violation was re-
ported to the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Trade, which instructed CUBATABACO to
institute proceedings to recover: damages from the Poles. Cuba sued for 31 mil-
lion and the Poles, having being caught red-handed, offered a settlement of
$50,000 which was accepted. The payment was made in dollars, out of the Polish-
Cuban clearing.
This "international solidarity" practiced by Communist countries kept Cuba,
for a long time. (1962-1963) from entering Western European markets.
Dumping as practiced by these countries, the lack of adecquate stocka for
the Europeans' taste, difficulties and delays in deliveries (due to shortage of
ships) have made the Europeans shy away from buying larger quantities of Cuban
leaf, and, many European importers have learned that Cuba is not a reliable
source of supply.
Due to the above stated reasons, the Communist régime can barely place
2,000 M.T. in Western Europe, for an annual revenue of about US$1,500,000.

PROBLEMS WITH THE LOBSTER EXPORTS
Upon my arrival here I was surprised to learn the extent of the detailed
information possesed by UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA and its Economic Research Bureau,
This information is accurate and I am able to add more information to that known
by the U.R.
Cuba had been exporting lobster through Sam Beiner, of the Montreal firm.
World Seafood Distributors". These exports wore rade by the Cuban concern ALTM-
FEX to "World Seafood", and the latter' re-oxportod the lobster to European firms
such as the Belgian "Hallewick" and the British "Young Seafood",
When ALIMFEX was replaced by CUBAEXPORT, the now Cuban concern tried to
grab the Buropean lobster market from Boiner and his Canadian firm. This was the
objective for which CUBAEXPORT Director Rodolfo Shening was working during a re-
cert European tour, and, to this end, he mado contact with the British firm
"Young Seafood", the French firm "Jacques Fourchtein et Ciò.", and others in
Western Europe. CUBAEXPORT was to a large extent successful in this effort to
cut out Beiner.
The troubles of CUBAEXPORT and of all other Cuban foreign trade enter-
prises with free-world firms are due to the fact that Cuban concerns have no re-
spect for international trade ethics. They take recourro to all sorts of maneu-
vers, as selling is their only concern; this is the long run alienates custom-
ers. In the case of the lobster c:ports lack of quality has been apparent.
Through my office in London I learned of complaints of improper cooking, pack-
ing, and even crating of lobster. exported to France, Poland, and England.
Hundreds of cases have been rejected by health and customs authorities and by
the importers themselves. The problems Beiner has encountered in Canada have
been duplicated in Europe.¨
Naturally, the poor quality of the lobster has been the cause of probes by
Canadian, French and British health authorities. Even the authorities of Commu-
nist countries such as Poland and Czechoslovakia have been forced to look into
the matter. - These countries have returned lobster to Cuba as "unfit for human
.
consumption". This merchandise, however, was subsequently placed in the Cuban
domestic market, a practice that has been followed not only with the lobster,
but also with all other exports that have been turned down by Cuba's customers
abroad.
Perhaps less serious cases, but which also illustrate the régime's´ con-
tempt for the Cuban people, are good instances of this policy. I refer to pro-
ducts which, although not quite unfit for human consumption, do not meet foreign
quality standards, such as fruit preserves that have been turned down abroad be❤
cause of their excessively high contents of sugar, and rum that was returned be-
cause of impurities. These items were retailed to the Cuban people after being
rejected abroad.
There also are complaints about the presentation of the product and the
packing, all of which has caused stern protests by the affected free-world
firms, such as "Jacques Fourchtein et Cie.", which complained to ALIMPEX last
year and to CUBAEXPORT this year.

USURPATION OF REGISTERED TRADE MARKS
marks scattered as the ot
As is known, the Castro régime, after monopolizing foreign trade and seizing
private industries, arbitrarily decreed that all Cuban trade-marks had become
the property of the government. However, with the lawful owners of these trade-
over the free world, Castro has met considerable legal
difficulties in using
stolen brand names for his exports. Abroad, Castro has
been unsuccessful, in most cases, in assigning these trade-marks to the régime's
export enterprises, as, in most countries, the brands are registored in the
names of their lawful owners.
:
.
This Castro violates international trade-mark regulations. This situation
is particularly true with respect to the world-famous trade-marks of Cuban ci-
gara. One of the best-known cases is the continued exportation of cigars bear-
ing the "La Corona" and "Honry Clay" brands, which are the property of the Ame-
rican Tobacco Company. This firm was forced to take direct action in England,
France, and Switzerland, countries to which Castro has had to halt exports.
Another example is the much-debated case of the "BACARDI" brand, which is
now being contested and which will be brought before the courts of Great Britain
by February or March next year.
In 1963, British authorities soized a shipment of Bacardi rum which was
recently returned to Cuba, and, therefore, the régime has been unable to export.
this brand to England. The rogime facos similar problems with Canada and Japan.
The first complications rising from this case took place right in Cuba,
where there were even dismissals in juridical Direction of the Ministry of For-
eign Trade early this year. Presently, Cuba is facing the following difficult--
ies in this case:
1) Legal contrádictions due to Cuba's very laws of expropriations and to
the perennial "reorganizations" and "creations" of Cuban foreign trade concerns.
2) Restricted opportunities for the Cuban régime to present witnesses, as
it fears that such witnesses will take the chance to defect.
3) Troubles between the Cuban régime and the very solicitor of the London
"Seifert and Seddeley" case.
4) Financial limitations, as the Cuban régime has only US$ 42,000 to fi-
nance the expenses of the case through the London law firm "Clark Russel".

couit of the permanent trade that Japan has established with the Cuban
, considering that the currency obtained from the selling
is used by the Government of Cuba to finance the subver -

Comulate our request in the hope of saving the interests of the

on program that has been planned from Cuba by the International Go-
as was confirmed in the newspaper "El Tiempo" in one of its edito
October 12.
insist in this petition because we consider that if Japan continues

AMSCROLL Progress Report,
1 July - 30 September 1968
A.
OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS
1-REG
This quarter opened with an internal reorganization of
AMSCROLL becoming effective. The reorganization had been under-
taken in the interests of efficiency and economy. The Departments
of Labor, Women, Foreign Affairs, Coordination, and Youth were
abolished. This action got rid of largely ineffective people who
had been receiving salaries and will prevent dissipation of AMSCROLL
funds and energies. The new, stream-lined organization is better
able to concentrate upon the field it knows best: economic action.
With its present staff it is also able to undertake action in
political, youth, and the other fields should this be desirable.
2. The major activities of AMSCROLL during this quarter foll
into four categories. They are economic activities, Free World
shipping to Cuba, dissemination of propaganda, and the AMSCROLL
radio program,
In the economic field AMSCROLL continued its analysis of
the 1966 sugar harvest that officially ended at 11:00 p.m. of 27 June--
though wind-up activities continued into this quarter. The point of
the post-mortem was to publicize why Cuba fell so far short
(2,044,745 tons) of its announced goal of 6,500,000 tons, which goal
was set by Castro in his May Day, 1965 speech. Sources of information
were the daily production figures of Radio Havana; analyses con-
ducted by other experts such as F. O. Licht, Czarnikow-Kionda, the
Merrill Lynch Weekly Sugar Letter, etc.; information the Station was
able to pass; and the background of such experts as AMSNAKE-1,
AMRAIN-1, and AMWASP-1. The Station has seen, stories based upon
these releases in the Miami Herald; the Miami Newn; the Economic
Intelligence Unit, a London publication; Alerta, a publication In
Guatemala; the American Marine Engineer; the Times of America; and
Diario Lan Americas, In addition appropriate Station assets such as
AMHIM replay much of this information. The point of this was to
demonstrate to Free World commercial circles and to the Cuban radio
audience that Cuban economic promises are not reliable and hence
that Cuba is an unreliable nation with which to trade. In support
of this theme this quarter also marked the beginning of the campaign.

against Cuban lobsters that are being sold in Canada and Europe.
The first public surfacing known to the Station of this study was
a story that appeared in the Miami News on 28 September. This
story was prepared from an AMSCHOLL press release that was mailed
to the AMSCROLL list of business people, bankers, and traders in
the U.S., Europe, and Japan. In addition, the local AFP corres-
pondent filed a story based upon this release,
Also during this quarter AMSCROLL released other studies:
of an economic nature on such subjects as Cuban trade with Spain,
the status of the Cuban oil industry, and the failure of mechaniza❤
tion of the Cuban sugar industry. The bases of these studies were
provided by the Station, often from information provided by qualified
refugees arriving via the air lift. In other cases, AMSCROLL
personnel-particularly AMFRAME-1--would interview some of these
refugees.
b. A continuing effort was made during the quarter to
publicize Free World shipping with Cuba. Each month a list is
compiled by the Station of those ships from the Free World that
visited Cuba during the previous month which is passed to AMSCROLL
for release to the press. In addition, a special study was mado
regarding the Greek firm Franco Shipping Company. The wire services
regularly carry this information and 27 published stories on this
subject in U.S., Canadian, and English publications came to the
Station's attention during this period.
c. During this period 16,000 pieces of printed material
were mailed to Cuba. This included 7,500 copies of AMSCROLL's
miniature newspaper which contained condensed stories of such items
as Castro's 26th of July Speech, quotations from earlier Castro
speeches making promises that were not kept, the sugar deficit, and
defections of Cuban seamen. Also, 7,500 copies were mailed to Cuba
of a notice that publicizes the AMSCROLL radio program and which
requests readers of the miniature newspaper to leave it in publis
places for others to read. AMSCROLL still has a supply of the
soap sheets which carries an imprinted message for the recipients
not to lose hope. One thousand of these were mailed to Cuba and
we anticipate continuing mailings until the supply of these soap
sheets is exhausted. About 4,350 copies of the economic studies
described in 2.a. above were mailed to a carefully" compiled list
of banks, business firms, etc. in the U.S., Europe, and Japen.
About 1,600 copies of these releases translated into Spanish were
also distributed.
d. The AMSCROLL radiɔ program is on the air over AMTHIGH
for ten minutes each day of the week except Sunday. This program
is increasingly addressing itself to the economic failure of
communism in Cuba, the economic failure of Cuba abroad, and to the
increasing political and economic isolation of Cuba from both the

official gover ear, Statistics of a current nature that gave the
Free and Communist worlds. To these ends, prominence was given to
problems with the sugar crop, statements prepared especially for
AMSCROLL by such defectors as AMBRAY-1, AMBINGO-1, and selected
defectors from the Cuban merchant marine. The program ran a series
of quotations from earlier Castro speeches that were pitted against
11e to Castro's
promises. Also, the program sought to exploit
Buch specific items as solling Cuban beef to Spain which increased
the shortage in Cuba, sending medical equipment and drugs to the
Congo though these are desperately needed in Cuba, etc.. During
this period the program received 11 letters from Cuban listeners
as follows: July, 2; August, 4; and Septembor, 5., With one excep-
tion these letters were favorable in their response. As in the
past AMSCROLL continued to front for AMSHADY-1's radio program
over JMHOPE and AMTUMOR. Also, AMSCROLL continued to front for a
musical program which it does not produce.
B.
ADMINISTRATION
3. The amount budgeted for the quarter under review was
-$36,750.00; whereas, $33,873.00 was spent. Of this amount $11,217.00:
was for salaries and $22,656.00 for operational expenses which
included office maintenance. A determined and successful effort
has been made to keep actual expenses under the budgeted amount.
Important to this was the reorganization described in A.1. above
which in salaries alone amounted to a monthly reduction of $1,200.00.
Operational and housekeeping expenses have also been reduced over
previous months with, the Station believes, an improved operational
result.
c.
PROBLEMS
4. The Station believes that it has overcome a source of
potential trouble by pressing the reorganization of AMSCROLL that
became effective 1 July in that persons who in the past had been
trouble makers were eased out. The only remaining problem is the
ever-present one of AMFRAME-1 who is capable of earning considerably
more than the Station is paying. As an intelligent, aggressive
person with a growing family he will sooner or later have to face
up to this personal problem of his. He prefers to remain in the work
he is now doing for WOFACT which, coupled with a recent salary
increase to $450.00 a month should combine to retain him at least
for the near future. His wife has recently received an impressive
monetary prize of an academic nature and AMFRAME-1's family in Vene❤
zuela is currently supplementing his WOFACT pay, which factors also
help.
D. PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER
5.
Administratively we expect AMSCROLL to continue as
reorganized and we are hopeful that we can effect additional
SECRET
14-00000
SECRET
economies. Operationally the Station has these specific projects
in mind which are in addition to the normal activities:
R. AMSCROLL will attempt to push further the Station-
developed story of the spoiled Cuban lobster with the goal in
mind of having it branded of dubious quality in Canada, France,
and other countries.
The Station has begun its utilization of AMSCHOLL to
analyze the 1967 sugar harvest. As for the 1966 harvest, AMSCROLL'
final projection of the results of the harvest was made on 23 Mày,
some five weeks in advance of the 29 June official Cuban announce-
ment. AMSCROLL predicted a harvest of 4,496,400 tons, only 41,145
tons over the actual figuro. We know of no one who came this close.
We have observed with interest how such forecasters as Merrill Lynch-
offered figures that came oven closer to the AMSCROLL projections
as the final harvest date approached. We hope to repeat this
performance for the coming year.
c. At the close of this reporting period the Station began
a campaign to discourage Japan-Cuban trade in favor of expanded
Japanese trade with other Latin American nations. This campaign
has the concurrence of Headquarters and Station Tokyo (DIRECTOR-36498
and TOKYO-9962), AMFRAME-1 and AMSNAKE-1 are being utilized to
implement this campaign insofar as Latin American business organiza❤
tions are concerned.

1. As indicated in the reference the AMSCROLL study on Cuban
problems in marketing its lobsters in France and Canada as well as
a clip of local press play were airmailed to the Paris Station on
29 September. The AFP account which was filed with its New York
office is a much shorter and loss complete version than the clip
already airmailed you.

2.
We are planning a follow-up story por Paragraph 3 of the
reference and will very much appreciate being informed of any French →
reaction that may grow out of the AFP story or Station efforts.
would be particularly helpful if we could indicate that the French
health authorities have found it necessary to inspect these shipments
due to the inferior quality and improper cooking of the lobsters.

ABSTRACT
*MICROFILM
1. We forward by separate cover the AHSCROLL report, page 4 of
which 
contains the study 
on Cuban-Canadian lobster trade discussed
in the reference as well as a clip of the AMTAFFY-1 treatment of this
study. It may be 
of interest to report that the mailing list
routinely 
used for this and similar studies of this nature contains
the following 
Canadian firms: Montreal Star; Canadian Intelligence
Publications, P.O. 
Box 130, Flesherton, Ontario; Financial Times of.
Montreal; 
Financial Post, Toronto; Canadian Chamber of Commerce,
Montreal; 
Canadian Press, a news agency located in Toronto; and the
Ministry of Trade 
and Commerce.
2. As part of the follow-up play Station of course would
appreciate any reaction from the Canadian press or other sources.
We will 
particularly appreciate being informed if it comes to the
attention of 
Station Ottawa that the health authorities inspect,
condemn, 
or otherwise take any action on these shipments.

1. Madrid Station appreciates the excellent support
which JMWAVE Station has provided in referenced operation.
It may be of interest that the publication of the articles
cited in reference cost approximately $200.00
2. Through CUSPOT-2 Madrid Station mado contact with Iden-
tity in an effort to establish on outlet for the publication
of economic reports concerning Spain and PBRUMEN. It was
agreed with the directors of Identity that the articles would
be paid for at the same rate as paid advertisements; however
they would appear as exclusive reports of Identity and bear
no resemblance to a paid advertisement. Because of various.
legal ramifications, Identity agreed to publish only those
articles which were signed.
3. QUSPOT-2's approach to Identity was made ostensiblý
under the auspices of a PORUMEN exile group with whom he said
he was affiliated, the headquarters of which are ostensibly
in the JMWAVE area. It was agreed that the JMWAVE exile group
would furnish the material directly to Identity, with a copy
to QUSPOT-2, who, after receipt of the article, would then
approach the directors of Identity to ascertain the price
of the article and push for its publication. In this regard.
Madrid would appreciate continuing with this practice for the
mailing of articles intended for publication (with a copy
pouched to Madrid) as was established.

With a view toward economy it should be noted that
Madrid Station took the liberty of excluding some of the
We suggest
material which was included in the first report.
that the reports be limited to one or two pages if feasible.
In this manner we feel wo will have a better chance 
at 
publi-
cation.
5. In the last several issues Identity has publishod
various articles of a favorable mature towards the PBRUMAN
economy. Station has reason to believe the primary purpose
of the favorable articles is that the director of Identity is
attempting to ingratiate himself with the PBRUMEN Government
so that he will be well received by PBRUMEN officials 
if the
Spanish Government nominates him as the Spanish commercial
representative to PERUMEN.

ABSTRACT
COFILM
ACCOM
PLISHED
: 1. A result of QUSPOT-2's recent holiday in the JMWAVE area has
beon to establish a correspondence between him and AMFRAME-1, the
signer of the Suplemento Especial of the ANSCROLL Economic Bureau, a
copy of which is forwarded by separate cover. QUSPOT-2 has indicated:
that he could use AMSCROLL economic studies and that he could arrange
for publication of at least some of these in Identity A. He suggested
that the original of such publications be sent to Identity B with a
copy to him. This was done in the case of a recent economic report
which was shortly thereafter published in Identity A. QUSPOT-2 air-
mailed this story to AMFRAME-1 which arrived at about the same time
as the copy the Madrid Station airmailed to the JMWAYZ overt address.
2. We wish that the article being forwarded by separate cover
also be surfaced in Identity A. The original has been airmailed to
Identity B with a copy to QUSPOT-2 per QUSPOT-2's suggestion. JMWAVE
fools that this is a useful mechanism and unless advised to the
contrary we propose to forward additional AMSCROLL studies to Identity B
for publication in Identity A. Should Madrid prefer we, of course, can
in the future forward such articles directly to the Station for
placement instead of airmailing them to Identity B.
3.
Studies similar to the one being forwarded are regularly
prepared in English on a number of economic subjects. They are
distributed to shipping firms, certain banks engaged in international
commerce, international trade organizations, international commodity
houses, etc. They are translated into Spanish solely for use in
Identity A; thus, in this sense, these reports are an "exclusive",

LA CALIDAD ACTUAL DEL AZUCAR CUBANO
Por el Ingeniero Raúl Esparza Tabares
ex-Director de Investigaciones Tecno-
lógicas del Ministerio del Azúcar (MINAZ) de Cuba Comunista
Este breve análisis de la calidad actual del azúcar cubano va dirigido tanto al
perito en azúcares (como pasó inicial de lo que podría convertirse en un estudio mas
técnico y exhaustivo) como al lector ordinario, toda vez que, en Cuba, el azúcar es
casi sinónimo de prosperidad económica, y así, la calidad del azúcar desempeña un pa
pel de gran importancia en la situación económica global del país (1).
☐ Sin mas comentarios o notas de introducción, ofrecemos a continuación el análi-
sis de la calidad actual del azúcar cubano :
1.- Materias. Extrañas.
10-
-
a) Azúcar crudo, La industria azucarera cubana se caracterizaba por recibir pa-
ra su procesamiento, la mejor calidad de caña de azúcar en cuanto a su contenido de-
materias extrañas (menos del 3%). Actualmente y por causa de los trabajadores
luntarios" por un lado y por otro a la mecanización de la cosecha de la caña, las ma-
terias extrañas que acompañan a la caña al llegar al Central para su procesamiento
ha aumentado al 8% en el caso de los voluntarios y al 19% en el caso de las máquinas
de cortar caña soviéticas. Es: de señalarse que dentro de la composición de estas ma
⚫terias extrañas está incluida la tierra, y como quiera que las tierras de Cuba tienen
en su composición un alto contenido de arcillas, estas son muy difíciles de eliminar
en el proceso tecnológico de purificación y afectan grandemente la calidad del azű
car crudo.
b) Azúcar Refino, Las materias extrañas, principalmente arcillas de las tierras
llegan hasta el azúcar refino dándole color al mismo y dejando residuos insolubles
al ser disueltas esta azúcar. Esto disminuye la calidad del azúcar refino no sola -
mente para el consumo humano directo; sino que ocasiona graves perjuicios en las in-
dustrias de alimentos que utilizan el azúcar refino. Lo mismo sucede con las indus-
trias de refrescos.
"
-
(1) No es necesario ensalzar la calidad del azúcar cubano que producía antes de
Castro, ya que su prestigio en el mercado mundial es un hecho de sobra cong
cido. Lo mismo puede decirse de los técnicos cubanos en azúcar, con quie
nes los expertos internacionales han tenido amplia oportunidad de discutir
los asuntos azucareros e intercambiar ideas y sugerencias libremente. Esta
situación ya no existe.

2.- Polarización:
a) Azúcar crudo, En Procas anteriores al régimen comunista, Cuba no producía azű-
cares crudos con polarizaciones menores de 97.0 a 97.5 %, y para muchos mercados ex-
tranjeros se reducían azúcares crudos con polarizaciones superiores a 98.0%. En la
actualidad un porciento significativo de la producción no alcanza esos valores, dán -
dose casos de azúcares crudos con polarizaciones de 96.0 y 95.0 %.
b) Azúcar Refino, Las calidades mejores de azúcares refinos o blancos se miden
en los mercados internacionales principalmente por su grado de polarización, la cual
deberá ser como mínimo 99.9%. Los azúcares refinos en la actualidad bajo el régimen-
comunista no alcanzan esa cifra, manteniéndose entre 99.70 y 99.80 %.
3.- Humedad:
a) Azúcar Crudo: Los azúcares crudos cubanos siempre se caracterizaban por su ba-
jo contenido de humedad, lo cual los hacía de magníficas condiciones pora resistir al
macenamientos colongados y manipulación segura a estos azúcares. Actualmente el con
tenido de humedad ha aumentado hasta un 200%, debido a varios factores como son, con-
tenido de coloides producidos por las arcillas de las tierras, condiciones deificien
tes de las centrifugas de azúcar, mayor contenido.de mieles en el azúcar, etc. Ade-
más, en muchas ocasiones, azúcares producidos en buenas condiciones se deterioran. de-
bido a la humedad existente a causa de deficiencias en el almacenaje en centrales y
puertos de embarque.
b) Azúcar Refino, La deficiente tecnología y el mal estado de los equipos apropia
dos han dado como resultado un aumento del contenido de humedad en el azúcar refino
de casi un 70%. Además azúcares projucidos con bajo contenido de humedad en las refi
nerfas, son alterados por el mal estado de los almacenes.
4.- Materias insolubless
a) Azúcar Crudo, El contenido de materias insolubles en el azúcar crudo ha aumenta
do aproximadamente en un 250% debido a là mala purificación de los jugos de caña duran
te el proceso tecnológico, y a la introducción de materias extrañas conjuntamente
la caña que van a parar hasta el azúcar.
15-
con
b) Azúcar Refing, El uso de azúcares crudos de baja calidad, la deficiente calidad
del Acido Fosfórico, la Tierra de Infusorios, y el Carbón Activado, productos éstos en
viados por los países comunistas, han tenido como consecuencia un aumento del porcenta
je de materias insolubles en los azúcares refinos de aproximadamente el 200%, reducien
do considerablemente la calidad de estos azúcares refiños.
5.- Color:
a) Azúcar Crudo: El índice de color de los azúcares crudos ha aumentado casi en un
300%, lo que reduce proporcionalmente la calidad de estos crudos como materia prima en
las refinerías.
b) Azúcar Refing: Este es uno de los factores importantes en la calidad de los azú
cares refinos o blancos, y en los años recientes, debido a deficiencias tecnológicas,-
a la ausencia casi total de técnicos con experiencia, y a la baja calidad de los mate-
riales decolorantes tales como el Carbón Activado suministrado por Polonia y la Unión
Soviética, el índice de color, medido en Unidades ICUMSA, ha aumentado en un 200%. Es
de señalar que ninguna refinería del país cumple las especificaciones en cuanto al In-
dice de color establecidas por los Métodos Internacionales de Control de Calidad.

6. Problemas Específicos del Azúcar Crudo i
a) Filtrabilidad: El índice de filtrabilidad que mide las propiedades precisamente
de refinación del azúcar crudo, ha bajado en un 250% en los años recientes, afectando
seriamente los costos de producción de las refinerías que emplean este azúcar crudo co
mo materia prima.
b) Uniformidad del grano de Azúcar. Como consecuencia de la total ausencia de ● -
quinos automáticos para controlar la cristalización del azúcar, ya que la gran mayoría
ha sido destruído y no reparado, la uniformidad de los cristales o granos del azúcar
crudo ha disminuido a líderes inverosimiles. Es casi imposible observar azúcares cru-
dos actuales que no tengan un alto Indice de "conglomerados", "gemelos", y "Falso gra-
no", lo que hace que la uniformidad de los cristales no se mantenga, ocasionando
Juicios a las refinerías que emplean esta azúcar como materia prima por la cantidad de
mieles e impurezas que conllevan. Esto reduce la capacidad de las refinerías y aumen-
ta considerablemente su costo de producción.
per-
c) Aspecto Sanitario, La falta de cuidado en cuanto a la higiene con que debe ser
producida el azúcar, así como las calidades de las aguas que se emplean para el lava-
do de los azúcares en las centrifugas, el poco cuidado y esmero con que son tratadas-
en los almacenes, han producido un descenso en cuanto al aspecto sanitario de los azú
cares acusándose un aumento considerable en el contenido de hongos, bacterias, y leva
duras. Todos estos elementos extraños afectan la calidad y producen fermentaciones
secundarias en el azúcar destruyendose parte de la sacarosa de las mismas, lo cual re
duce los rendimientos en las refinerías de azúcar y aumenta considerablemente el cos
to de producción.
d) Envases: Los envases que viene utilizando el régimen comunista en los azúca
res crudos, son en parte elaborados en la Unión Soviética. Estos envases de yute son
de Infima calidad y además como no tienen las medidas standards, el azúcar se compac-
ta dentro de los sacos, produciéndose muchas roturas de los mismos.
e) Azúcar Endurecida, Como consecuencia de la deficiencia en la tecnología de --
producción, las materias extrañas, y las malas condiciones de los almacenes, el Indi-
ce de azúcares endurecidos en almacenamiento ha aumentado casi un 200%. Esto trae -
como consecuencia grandes dificultades en las refinerías al disolver al azúcar y sa
carla de los sacos. Además al aumentar el costo de manipulación, se aumenta el COS-
to de producción.
7.- Problemas Específicos del Azúcar Refinos
-
en
a) Azúcares invertidos, Debido a la deficiencia tecnológica y a la baja calidad
de los azúcares crudos utilizados, el contenido de azúcares invertidos ha aumentado
un 150% en los últimos años con el resultado de la baja de calidad de este tipo de azú
car.
b) Cenizas, Como consecuencia de la gran cantidad de materias extrañas y la baja
calidad de los azúcares crudos, así como la deficiente calidad de los Carbones Activa-
dos empleados en las refinerías, el contenido de cenizas ha'aumentado en los últimos
años en un 50%, afectando la calidad de estos azúcares.
-
Contenido de Azufre (502), El contenido de azufre en los azúcares refinados de
be ser extramadamente bajo ya que afecta la salud del consumidor y crea grandes difi-
cultades en las industrias que usan el azúcar. Como consecuencia de la baja calidad
del Acido Fosfórico Soviético que tiene un alt contenido de Azufre, los azúcares en los
Ultimos años han_sufrido un aumento-del-100%-en-su-contenido de azufre lo que afecta
la calidad de los mismos.
14-00000
d) Contenido de Arsónicos- El Arsenico es una de las contaminaciones que mas afeg
tan la calidad de cualquier producto alimenticio, y mucho mas significativo es en el
azúcar. Los productos auxiliares usados en la refinación del azúcar tales como Acido
Fosfórico-suministrados por países comunistas, tiene un alto porcentaje de Arsenico
los que contaminan el azúcar, habiéndose elevado esta cifra en un 70% sobre los¯valo-
res normales.
+
e) Contenido de Plomo, La presencia de Plomo en los azúcares refinados debe ser -
significativo, mro en los últimos años el empleo de Tierras de Infusorios y Acido Fog
fórico de países comunistas que tienen baja calidad y están contaminados con este elg
mento, ha rroducido un aumento del contenido de plomo en los azúcares refinos de un
50% sobre los valores normales.
`f) Contenido de Cobre: Los azúcares de Cuba se caracterizaban por su ausencia de
Cobre, sin embargo al usarse los productos contaminados y de baja calidad suministra
dos por los países comunistas, y por otro lado el mal estado de los equipos que tie
nen partes de Cobre, han dado como resultado un aumento en el contenido de Cobre 11s-
gándose a obtener valores de 2 a 3 % de Cobre en el azúcar refino.
CONCLUSIONES:
1.- Bajo el presente régimen, la calidad del azúcar cubano ha sufrido un tremen-
do deterioro.
2.- La industria azucarerá cubana no ha sido una excepción al principio de que
"el Comunismo es sinónimo de baja calidad".
·
3.- Los gobiernos, los pueblos y las firmas de los países que aún adquieren azú
car de Cuba deben tomar nota de este breve análisis.

STATEMENT OF RAUL DE LA RUA CISTRO-
3
My name is Raul de la Rúa Castro, and I was the Chief Engineer aboard the Cuban MV
SIERRA MESTRA until March 20, 1946, when I jumped ship in Muroran, Japan.
I
Working conditions in the Cuban Merchant Fleet also influenced my decision.
could not stand the intensified espionage on board by members of the G-2. It is
worth mentioning that the plan to indoctrinate Cuban merchant crews was a complete
failure. The regime has abandoned the project altogether, and is now trying to
place loyal Communists as officers and crewmembers, even if they are not qualified
for their jobs..
As a matter of fact, the lack of qualified personnel is an increasing problem, and
another source of trouble aboard Cuban vessels. During the last months a total of
twenty nine officials, officers and crewmembers of the Cuban Merchant Marine have
defected (data of up-to-date merchant marine score). After I quit the SIERRA MAES
TRA, for instance, there was not a single certified engineer on board, although
there were several young fellows getting on the job training. This is a fact that
should be taken into consideration by the insurance firms that underwrite Cuban
vessels.
Most of the vessels are faced with all sorts of mechanical difficulties, due to
lack of spare parts and a very faulty maintainance, situation that gets worse when
consider the scarcity of qualified personnel just mentioned.
I am very happy to have joined those of my fellow Cuban officers who preceded me
in this decision. I wish to thank the "Free Cuban Merchant Marine Committee" for
all the attentions accorded me, and I hope to rejoin our merchant fleet soon, when
our vessels again sail under the flag of a free country.

DECLASICIONES DE RAUL DE LA RUN CASTRO,
Mi nombre 08 Raul de la Rua Castro y hasta el 20 de marzo de 1966 desempeñó ol
cargo de Jefe de Maquinas de la Motonave SIERRA MAESTRI, cargo este que abandons
en Moran, Japón.
Las condiciones de trabajo en la Marina Mercante Cubana fuoron uno de los motivos
que me llevaron a tomar mi decisión. Tampoco podía continuar soportando el espio-
naje y la vigilancia a bordo por miembros del G-2. Vale la pena mencionar que el
plan de adoctrinamiento para los miembros de las dotaciones de la flota mercante
cubana ha fracasado completamente. El régimen ha abandonado dicho plan y lo único
que hace ahora es sustituir a los que abandonamos los buquos por personal "politi-
camente apto", pero carente do capacidad técnica para desempeñar los cargos.
De hecho, el régimen confronta un serio problema ante la escasez de personal técni
co capacitado y titulado, y ésto constituye otra fuente de problems a bordo de
los taques cubanos. Durante los últimos meses un total de veinte y nueve funciona
rios, oficialos y tripulantes de la flota mercante cubana han abandonado sus car-
gos. Fara que se tenga una idea sobre la gravedad de este problema resulta necesą
rio sexalar que después que yo abandon el SIERRA MAESTRY no quedó a bordo un sólo
maquinista con titulo, a pesar de que varios muchachos jóvenes se encontraban alli
recibiendo entrenamiento, pero por supuesto, aún sin ol debido titulo. Esta es una
realidad que debe ser considerada seriamente por las firmas aseguradoras de buques
cubanos.
:
La mayoría de los buques confrontan dificultades en lo referente al funcionamiento
debido principalmente a la falta de piezas de repuesto y al mantenimiento defectuo
so y poco eficiente y como es natural este problema se acentua con la escasez de
personal técnico capacitado en las dotaciones.
Deseo manifestar que estoy contento de encontrarme junto a tantos otros compañeros
de la Marina Mercante que me han precedido y quiero agradecer publicamente al "Co-
mité de la Marina Mercante Cubana Libre" las atenciones que ha tenido conmigo, asi
como la ayuda que me están prestando, y sinceramente espero poder volver a la Mari
na Marcante en un futuro próximo; cuando una vez más podamos navegar bajo el pabe-
llón de una Patria libre.

MOVIMIENTO UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA
CONFERENCIA DE FREISA DE RAUL ESPARZA TABARES
-
Mi nombre es Raúl Esparza Tabares y hasta hace escasamente un mes me encontra
ba presidiendo la Delegación-Cubana-a-la-Conferencia-Internacional de Expertos en
Azúcares_de_la_FAO (Food & Agriculture Organization-de-las-Naciones Unidas-)-que-se
celebró en Londres del iro, al 3 de Marzo de 1966, al mismo tiempo que ocupaba el
cargo de Director de Investigaciones Tecnológicas Azucareras del MINAZ y formaba
parte de la "Comisión de Estudios del Plan Perspectivo Azucarero".
A mi lado se encuentra mi señora Josefa Reus y nuestros hijos Roberto, de 21
años y Raúl, de 22 años, ambos estudiantes de ingeniería de la Universidad de La
Habana.
Antes de hacer un breve relato de la odisea de mi familia para abandonar el
país, deseo agradecer a los compañeros de UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA las atenciones
que han tenido para con nosotros y al mismo tiempo por darme esta oportunidad de
hacer estas declaraciones a los periodistas del mundo libre.
.com
Desde hace dos años todos nos encontrabamos tratando de abandonar el país pe-
ro nos había sido imposible. a mi no se me permitía salir debido al cargo que ocu
paba y ni siquiera se le daba esta oportunidad al resto de mi familia. Cuando lo
de Camarioca nos fué a recoger un barco y las autoridades cubanas ni nos avisaron
de que dicha embarcación se encontraha allí. La única salida era abandonar el país
en bote nor la vía clandestina. La oportunidad se presentó durante mi estancia en
Londres. Yo había salido de Cuba el 23 de febrero de 1966 dejando atrás a mi seño
ra y a mis dos hijos, uno de los cuales, Raúl, se encontraba enfermo de hepatitis ·
en La Habana.
Mi señora tuvo que tomar la decisión sin encontrarme yo a su lado, pero había
que aprovechar la oportunidad que se presentaba y salir por la vía clandestina del
país. De la odisea pueden dar detalles ellos mucho mejor q,,e yo y posiblemente los
miembros de la prensa desearán hacerles algunas preguntas al final de mis palabras.
Muy brevemente les diré que ellos se sometieron al mismo proceso que tantos
otros cubanos se han sometido, es decir, lanzarse en bote a cruzar el "corredor de
la muerte" con la confianza que Dios los ayudaría a arribar a tierras de libertad.
Dos intentos fallaron pero por fin, el tercer intento fue un éxito y al menos el
grupo completo, unas veinte personas, se montaron en el bote y pusieron proa a los
Estados Unidos; el motor se rompió y la travesía fue la mayor parte del tiempo a
vela al cabo de casi dos días el agua y la escasa comida se habían agotado y en

ba el turno a mí.
Lallamada informándome del arribo de mi familia a los EE.UU. llegó precisa-
mente cuando me encontraba reunido con el resto de los miembros de la Delegación.
Estos me observaban atentamente, como queriendo adivinar lo que se me decía des-
de el otro lado de la línea. Por tanto, tuve que desplegar mis escasas dotes de
actor teatral y simular que la llamada era oficial desde Cuba.
Ante esta situación, opté por informar, falsamente, a los restantes deiega-
dos que el gobierno cubano me había encargado el cuidado de otros asuntos, por
lo que tendría que demorarme algunos días mas de los previstos en Madrid.
Los dije también que me reservaran pasaje a bordo del vuelo de la semana si
quiente y les entregue una carta para mi familia. Llegué a Madrid el 4 de Mar-
zo. Las autoridades españolas me brindaron toda clase de facilidades, incluso
posteriormente la de ofrecerme hasta protección personal, puesto que cuando en el
MINAZ se conoció mi desaparición, el gobierno notificó a las embajadas cubanas en
Londres y Madrid que me encontraran y que me llevaran de regreso para La Habana
aunque tuviera que ser a bordo de un buque cubano y por supuesto, en contra de mi
voluntad.
No deseo tomar mas tiempo para anécdotas personales y si lo he hecho ha si-
do porque estimo que ayudan a comprender la verdadera situación que se vive en
Cuba. La situación de los funcionarios que como en mi caso, desean la libertad
de nuestra Patria, y que nos encontramos sujetos a vigilancia, a represión, mis
hijos expulsados de la Universidad y sujetos a las mismas privaciones que el res
to de nuestro Pueblo.
Pasemos ahora al tema principal de esta conferencia, que es a la vez la es
pina dorsal de la economía cubana y por tanto el factor determinante de la es -
tabilidad o de la caída del régimen de Fidel Castro: el AZUCAR.

En relación con el estado de la industria azucarera en la actualidad es no-
cesario comenzar por esbozar la situación en la que se centron los inventos,
-Debido-a-la-escasez-de-niezas de repuesto, la falta de materiales y la baja call
dad del trabajo, los ingenios confrontan una situación que es necesario califi
car de "caótica". La falta de personal técnico capacitado y de obreros especia-
lizados hacen que la operación de producción de los ingenios sea altamente defi-
ciente. Por otra parte, la falta de abastecimiento de caña no permite que los in
génios funcionen a su capacidad normal, trayendo como consecuencia poce eficien-
cia en el trabajo y un alto consumo de combustible adicional, que ocasiona un ay
mento considerable en los costos de producción del azúcar. En relación con
medios de transporte, Principalmente los ferrocarriles azucareros, deseamos acla
rar que se encuentran también en pésimas condiciones, a pesar de la adquisición
de locomotoras soviéticas, inglesas y francesas, pues las vías férreas no permi-
ten el aprovechamiento de este material rodante. Por ejemplo, durante 1965 se
debían de haber cambiado seis millones de traviesas en las vías férreas, mas sin
embargo sólo había diponibles ochenta mil. El resultado es el incremento de los
descarrilamientos que durante la zafra de 1965 alcanzaron un promedio de tres deş
carrilamientos diarios, produciéndose diez accidentes mortales.
los
Muchos me preguntan cual será la producción final de la zafra de 1966 y so -
bre este punto debo hacer los comentarios siguientes: Fidel Castro anunció que
la meta azucarera de este año serían 6.5 millones de toneladas y ese anuncio no
sólo fue hecho durante su discurso del Iro. de mayo de 1965, sino que lo repitió
durante su discurso del 7 de junio del mismo año. Sin embargo, se admite que di
cha metà no será alcanzada. Ahora bien el estimado actual no excede de 5.1 mi-
llones de toneladas. ¿Por qué?
Primeramente se debe mencionar la falta de abono. Este año la aplicación
_ de abono fue insignificante, pues el gobierno no tenía las divisas necesarias pa-
ra adquirirlo, principalmente en Italia. El año pasado, sin embargo, se aplica-
14-00000
ron aproximadamente 450,000 toneladas.
En segundo lugar, resulta necesario hacer referencia à las siembras de caña,
Las nuevas areas sembradas de caña lo han sido de forma deficiente y además se han
utilizado areas destinadas con anterioridad a la siembra de otras cosechas para-
sembrar caña, como lo constituye, por sólo citar un ejemplo, el caso_de_la_zona-
situada en los alrededores de Manzanillo y Bayamo, las cuales eran zonas arroce -
ras y ahora han intentado convertirlas en zonas cañeras, resultando todo esto en
un fracaso pues la caña es de baja calidad al no ser adecuado el suelo..
Otro fac
tor menos importante pero digno de darse a conocer es la falta de cuidado en las
tareas de cultivo y atención de los cañaverales debido a la escasez de mano de g
bra.
Con estos antecedentes es que hay que analizar el monto de la presente zafra.
Durante 1965 el día 7 de abril se alcanzó el cuarto millón, pero este año el ter-
cer millón se alcanzó el día 3 de abril lo cual ya significa un atraso de cerca
de 900,000 toneladas. Creo que hay caña para llegar a 5.1 millones de toneladas
ahora bien, lo que hay que preguntarse es si dicha meta, que ya está bastante por
debajo de los 6.5 millones anunciados por Fidel Castro será alcanzada o no. E1
Partido está realizando una movilización masiva record hacia los cañaverales con
el propósito de intentar cortar toda la caña pero eso hay que ver si en defini-
tiva lo baran hacer.
Cabe hacer referencia en este momento a lo que se conoce en Cuba por el nom
bre de "Plan Perspectivo Azucarero", que es el único plan económico que tiene
estos momentos el gobierno de Cuba.
en
¿Qué es el "Plan Perspectivo Azucarero"? comprende tres puntos básicos que
son los siguientes: primero, la "rehabilitación" de la capacidad industrial a ni
veles pre-Castro, segundo, la "ampliación" de la capacidad industrial, y tercero,
la "concentración" de la industria azucarera en 70 modernos centrales.
:
Vamos a revisar brevemente los tres puntos a la luz de la presente situación.
En relación con el primero, o sea, la "rehabilitación" de la capacidad industrial
instalada, es necesario destacar que en 1952 la capacidad de producción de la in
dustria azucarera era de siete millones de toneladas, pero debido a la escasez
de piezas de repuesto, falta de materiales para las reparaciones, baja calidad de
las reparaciones y la eliminación de seis ingenios que fueron precisamente deg
mantelados para utilizar las piezas como repuestos lo cual se ha comprobado ha si
do un error más la capacidad industrial se ha reducido a sólo seis millones de
toneladas, es decir, que la actual política ha resultado en la presente merma de
la producción Iqué progreso! Fidel Castro no ha podido ni alcanzar la capaci

dad de producción azucarera que Cuba tenía hace quince años.
1
El segundo punto, que en cierto sentido debe atemberarse al primere, es am--
pliar la capacidad industrial instalada y además construir un nuevo ingenic. Esto
significaría, o sea, para alcanzar esto sería necesario la importación de un núme
mero considerable-de-equipos para los ingenios, cosa totalmente imposible de_lle-
varse a cabo debido a la escasez de divisas -de por of escasas para la adquisición
de piezas de repuesto y la falta de técnicos para hacerse cargo de supervisar
ejecutar dicha ampliación - también se debe decir que tampoco son suficientes los
1
técnicos para realizar de por sí las labores ordinarias de la zafra con la actual
capacidad. Este parte del plan supone una coordinación entre el INRA
que siem-
bra la caña y el-MTNAZ, pero lo que sucede en la realidad es que no están en
coordinación ambos organismos y por consiguiente el INRA manda a sembrar caña en
donde no existe capacidad industrial y por su parte 61 MINAZ está "rehabilitando"
ingenios en donde a lo mejor ya no hay suficiente caña. Esto es sólo una muestra
de la desorganización reinante, desorganización que unida a los factores. menciona
dos imposibilitan el éxito del "Plan Perspectivo". Esto es una prueba más de la
incapacidad de la planificación económica de las altas esferas en dicho çobierno.
-
(Por cierto que la construcción del nuevo ingenio es vital para el éxito del
"Plan" y hasta el momento presente sólo una firma francesa ha hecho ofertas para
dicha construcción, dicha firma es nada menos que la FIVES-LILLE, bien conocida
en los círculos azucareros).
La tercera fase del "Plan", es decir, la "concentraci ón" de la capacidad in--
dustrial azucarera en setenta ingenios después de 1970 es sólo un sueño en la men
te de los planificadores. La regresión constante de la industria azucarera no
puede permitir, económicamente hablando, el modernizar y automatizar plantas y
equipos, hasta que los problemas económicos básicos de la producción no estén re-
sueltos,
Los equipos soviéticos no son aptos para realizar estas tareas agrícolas én
Cuba y su diseño y difícil operación impiden que cumplan su cometido.
Además es-
.
--
tas "cortadoras" introducen un 19% de materias extrañas en el ingenio, lo cual
ocasiona gran desgaste a las máquinas y equipos del ingenio. Y es precisamente
con estos equipos soviéticos con los cuales se contaba para cosechar 83 millones
de toneladas de caña que serían necesarias para producir los 10 millones de tone-
ladas de azúcar anunciados por Fidel Castro como los "10 megatones de azúcar" con
los que iba a derrotar al "imperialismo" en 1970.
Las metas de producción del "Plan" son las siguientes: Para 1965: 6 millones
de toneladas: para 1966; 6.5 millones: para 1967; 7.5 millones para 1968: 8 mi--
llones para 1969: 9 millones: y finalmente, para 1970; 10 millones de toneladas

de azúcar. Estimo que el único en Cuba que aún cree en el "Plan" y en sus metas
es Fidel Castro.
Me gustaría hacer una breve referencia en relación con otro problema básico
- la baja calidad del azúcar cubano, tanto crudo como refino, actualmente en proce
so de empeorarse. Esto no ha sucedido de casualidad sino como consecuencia de la
falta y mala calidad de las piezas de repuesto, la ineficiencia en la operación de
los ingenios, la falta de eficiencia de los trabajadores, y la baja calidad de los
productos químicos auxiliares procedentes de países socialistas. Estos problemas
están resultando en una decreciente polarización del azúcar, el envase deficiente
del azúcar de exportación, el aumento de impurezas en el azúcar embarcada a granel,
y las dificultades en cumplir los compromisos de entregas de azucares.
Otro tema de interés lo constituye la presencia de los "técnicos azucareros"
soviéticos en Cuba. El régimen cuenta en la actualidad con unos 300 técnicos azu-
careros soviéticos quienes se supone que sean los sustitutos de los técnicos cuba-
nos que han abandonado el país. Los técnicos soviéticos tienen muy poca experien-
cia en azúcar de caña y la forma en que dicha industria opera en Cuba. Además muy
pocos hablan español y esto les hace aún más difícil su labor. Por lo tanto ni los
técnicos soviéticos ni los equipos soviéticos constituyen una solución para el que
bradero de cabeza azucarero de Fidel Castro.
Con esto deseo dar por terminada estas declaraciones. Dejo ahora la palabra a
los miembros de la prensa para contestarles cualquier pregunta en relación, no só-
lo`a mis palabras, sino a la situaci ón política interna que es un interesante fenó
meno de desintegración, la odisea de mi familia, el problema de la Universidad en
donde desempeñaba una cátedra, así como cualquier otro tema que resulte de interés.
Muchas gracias.

Dear Prof. Gardlund:
I am pleased to enclose the information that you requested
in your kind letter of 5/5/66, which I hope will be useful to you in your studies
of price and cost trends in the cane sugar industry.
As you probably know, the Cuban surar industry ranked first
place as a producer of cane sugar, not only with regards to large production vol-
but also as concerns high technical officiency and low production costs.
umes,
Before 1959, the maximum production cost was of 3.5 cents a
pound, excepting, of course, the smaller and more inofficient sugar mills that
had not developed any technological advances since World War II. However, in
1965 the cost of production was as high as 5.25 cents a pound, even though, of
course, this latter figure is carefully concealed by the Communist régime that
rules my country.
I would like to acquaint you with the Economic Research Bu-
reau of the UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA Movement. This organization is made up of true
Cuban economists in exile. I am sure that you will find this a very valuable
source of information concerning Cuba's economy.
2
I thank you very much for the kind and humane phrases that
you have had for my family and for myself. Thank Heaven, after thros long years
we were able to escapo, even if at the risk of our own lives, from the Communist
hell. We have come to this free land in the hope that we can start our lives all
over again under the kind hospitality of this great Nation, the free and democraţ
ic United States of America.
Please by assured, my dear Professor, that I am pleased to
place myself at your service. Should you desire any information concerning the
Cuban sugar industry, I will be more than glad to furnish it to you. I also
hope that, very soon, a régime of liberty, justice and democratic economic de-
valopment will prevail in my suffering Fatherland.
Sincerely yours,
Ing. Raul Esparza Sr.

Dear Prof. Carlund:
We had the opportunity of cooperating with Ing. Raul Espar
za in filling out the questionnaire you enclosed with your thy 5, 1966 letter.
The "Economic Research Bureau" is a branch of UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA, which is
an exile Cuban organization born in the underground and presently fighting to
free our Homeland, both inside Cuba and in exile.
:
One of our weapons in this effort is what we have labeled
as an economic offensive to deny the Castro regime the hard currency it so des
parately needs. For this reason the "Economic Research Bureau" was organised.
It puts a monthly economic newsletter, the "Economic Intelligence Report", and
whatever other information we feel will alt our caure and at the same time pro
vide accurate and reliable data to Free World countries and firms that still
consider trading with the procent Cuban regime.
Enclosed you will find some of our past newsletter which we
expect will be of interect to you. At the same time, they will serve you as an
example of the type of research work we have un'ertaken, its objectivity, and
its accuracy.
It is our pleasure to corperate with Ing. Esparza in fil-
ling out the questionnaire you rent and we avail ourselves for any additional
information you could desire in the future, besides placing you in our regular
mailing list.

Estimado Sr. Lozanot
Nos dirigiros a U. en esta oportunidad con motivo del fracaso
de la presente zafra azucarera cubans, fracaso del cual Ud. ya debe tener noticias,
no sólo a través de nuestra hoja de información económica ("Economic Intelligence
Report") sino a través de fuentes propias,
Por ajemplo, el boletín de la casa Merril-Lynch de fecha 10 de
Junio de 1966 fija ol monto de la presente zafra cubana on 4,450,000 TM, es decir,
mas de dos millones de toneladas métricas per debajo de la mota anunciada por Fidol
Castro (6,500,000 TM). Esto se traducirá en una escase que hará muy difícil que
el presente régimen pueda cumplir sus compromisos azucareros con países del mundo
libre tales como España y Marruecos y el mismo tiempo pueda copar un por ciento con
siderable del marcado azucarero del Japón. El memorandum adjunto contiene datos
que le resultarán de interés.
La reciente operación en la cual el Brasil vendió 530,000 TM es
una prusha palpable de la oportunidad existente para los países libres de la Améri
ca en los actuales momentos debido al fracaso de la zafra cubana.
Sería sumamente oficar para Colombia el explorar las posibilida
des existentes en esos tres mercados de inmediato pues seguramente se podrían real
zar algunas operaciones que redundarfan en beneficio para su país al mismo tiempo
que bloquearfan operaciones del régimen Castro-Comunista de por si dificiles on t
ta de la escasez producida por el fracaso de la zafra de 1966.
Es muy posible que
nosotros pudiésemos cooperar en este empeño
de Colombia, tanto a través de informaciones que pudiésemos obtener de la situación
de dichos morcados (España, Marruecos y Japón), así como a través de alguna gestión
personal si se nos presentara la oportunidad.

Dear Mr. Lozano
{"
* By 2
We address you now on account of the failure of the current Cuban
sugar harvest, of which failure you must have heard not only through our "Eco-
nomic Intelligence Report", but also from your own sources.
For example, the June 10, 1966 Merril-Lynch bulletin, sets the a
mount of the current Cuban sugar harvest st 4,450,000 MT, that is, over 2 million
metric tons below the goal announced by Fidel Castre (6,500,000 NT). This will
result in a scarcity of Cuban sugar, which scarcity will make it very difficult
for the regime to fulfill its sugar commitments to free-world countries, such as
Spain and Morocco, and at the same time to cope with a significant percentage of
the Japanese sugar market. The enclosed Memo contains data that may be of inte
rest to you.
The recent transactions whereby Prazil sold 530,000 MT is tangible
evidence of the opportunity that exists for free countries in the Americas at
this time, thanks to the failure of the Cuban sugar harvest.
It would be extremely rewarding for Colombia to explore the inmg
diate possibilities that eixst in those three markets, as surely som transac
tions could be made that would benefit your country, and which, at the same time,
would' block some of the Castro-Communists' own transactions. The latter are in
themselves difficult because of the scarcity brought about by the failure of the
1966 sugar harvest.
It is quite possible that we could cooperate with this Colombian
endeavor, by informing you of facts we learn concerning the situation in such mag
kets (Spain, Morocco and Japan), markets as well as by any personal undertaking,
which we could be capable of.

Likewise, if you have any publication issued by your Association
that you could mail to us regularly, ve would appreciate your doing so, and if
you were able to use the statements by Eng. Esparza and Dr. Tarrab in some arti
cle, we would like ot obtain a copy of it.
Hoping to hear from you soon, and with the certainty that any ag
tion on your part will mean a victory for Colombia as well as for the free Cubans,
we are,
Yours very sincerely,
Dr. Rafael Rivas-Vázquez

and Professional Affairs

STATUS REPORT STATION'S MHSPAWN PROJECTS. REFERENCE B SHOULD BE
USED AS SUPPLEMENTAL PAPER IN HEADQUARTERS REVIEW. BASIC PROPA-
GANDA LINES HAVE CONTINUED WITHOUT CHANGE, BUT WITH INCREASED
EMPHASIS ON PERSONAL DENIGRATION AND HARASSMENT OF FIDEL CASTRO AND
ON PROPAGANDA DESIGNED ENCOURAGE MILITARY AND OTHER POWER CENTERS
IN CUBA TO CARRY OUT COUP D'ETAT AGAINST CASTRO. EMPHASIS IN
PROJECT MANAGEMENT HAS BEEN ON CLOSER SCRUTINY AND CONTROL IN
ORDER TO ACHIEVE INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY OF OPERATION.
ONE MARGINAL PROJECT /AMRUSTY/ HAS BEEN TERMINATED AND TWO PROJECTS
/AMSPELL AND AMCROW/ ARE BEING SHARPLY CURTAILED DUE TO MARGINAL
PERFORMANCE. THERE HAS BEEN OVERALL CUTBACK IN DISTRIBUTION
PRINTED PROPAGANDA, ESPECIALLY TO LATIN AMERICA. PROPAGANDA
MAILED TO CUBA HAS PLACED MORE EMPHASIS ON MILITARY TARGET IN
PLACE OF MORE GENERAL PROPAGANDA THEMES TREATED. AMTHIGH RADIO
PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN CUT FROM TWO HOURS DAILY TO ONE AND ONE HALF
THIS SHOULD ACHIEVE REDUCTION OF $60,000 - $70,000 PER YEAR IN
OUR RADIO BUDGET/. HOWEVER RADIO_CONTINUES TO BE SINGLE MOST
IMPORTANT MEDIUM FOR HITTING CUBAN TARGET.

Regarding letter from subject, who
1. We forward by separate cover a copy of a letter (with-
orwaya
translation) from Jaime *LOZANO, President of the National Association.
of Sugar Cane Growers of Cali, Colombia, that was recently received by
AMSCROLL which was in response to AMSCROLL's mailing the Association the
text of public statement made by AMRAIN-1 and AMSNAKE-1. Needless to
say, AMSCROLL will continue the Association on its mailing list and
has responded to this letter with its own letter of appreciation.
2. It occurs to WAVE that this organization might be useful in
implementing the reference, particularly in view of the fact that
Colombia might have as much as 200,000 tons of sugar available for
export this year (per paragraph 4 of the reference). WAVE will be
happy to undertake any action requested of it by the addressees if this
should be an exploitable lead.
3. There are no WAVE traces for either LOZANO or his organization.

ABSTRACT
MICROFILM
Please provide Radio Free Europe study.
The Station has read the attached article from The Wall Street
Journal with considerable. interest. If readily available we will
appreciate a copy of the RFE report on this subject which is mentioned
in this article. Material of this nature is most useful in the
AMSCROLL effort (via radio and written analysis) to support its thesis
that if after forty-two years the Soviets have not solved their
industrial and agricultural problems how can the Cubans hope to do so
in less?

Soviet Grain Imports Expected to Continue !
Despite Big Plans to Boost Farm Output
By RAY VAKER
Blog Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
A drastic revision of the Soviet Union's
agriculture in getting under way aimed at lift-
Ing farm production by improving the lot of
the peasant. For 1966, Russian leaders are de
liberately slowing industrial growth to the
amallest increase in the postwar period, while
they count on a sharp upsurge in agriculture
to propel their economy forward.
145
Between 1966 and 1973, the Russians plan
to pour an average of $13.5 billion a year in
investments into agriculture, up from $11 bil- | 140
lion in 1964 and slightly more last year.
They're encouraging free marketing of fruits
and vegetables from small private plots held
by peasants, Farm pay is being increased. In
summer or fall, the first Farmers' Congress
since 1935 will be held to plan fresh ways of
stimulating production.

Evidence indicates the Soviets have a tough
job on their hands. The likelihood is that the 130
Communist world will continue as a major
importer of grains over the next few years.
The scope of the Russian agricultural over-
haul is being analyzed in Munich by Soviet
specialists of Radio Free Europe and Radio
Liberty, which beam anti-Communist programs
into Soviet bloc countries, and by authorities in
foreign ministries in Westera Europe and by
American Government officials.

C Summary of Radio Broadcasts for the Period 19 October to 20 January
ACTION REQUIRED REFERENCES
ACTION REQUIRED: FYI
1966, Inclusive.
1. Beginning with the broadcast for 19 Octobor 1965 the Station
at its request began receiving a summary of each AMSCROLL AMTHIGH
program. We forward by separate cover these summaries through the
evening of 20 January 1966 (with the exception of the periods of
28-30 November and 2-4 January for which no summary was prepared).
Henceforth those summaries will be forwarded on an at least bi-weekly.
basis.
2. The Station is attempting to improve both the punch and the
quality of these programs. We believe, for example, that more
emphasis should be placed upon regime failures and upon the needless
economic mess. Further, we are trying to refine the "irritability"
factor so far as Castro and the regime are concerned due to the
sensitivity of Castro to this type of attack. Calling Castro (on
19 January) the "Soviets' barking hound dog" is a sally in this
direction.
3. As usual with programs of this nature the size and reaction of
the audience is most difficult to ascertain. It is some comfort to be
able to record that during this period 10 letters have been received
by AMSCROLL that have been inspired by this program. The President's
uncle, Carlos Dorticos, told AMSCROLL-3 that he had been a frequent
listener to this program and that he had listened to this program at
his home the night before he left Cuba.

"HABLA.... UNIDAD FEVOLUCIONARIA" (W.R.U.L.)
November 1, 1965: "There will be no changer in the Blockade of Rod Cuba".- A comment
on the rumors that U.S. policy on Cuba will "soften". It is indicated that Washing-
ton, for humanitarian reasons, accepted Castro's parley to evacuate the spiritually
wounded. We also comment on the statement of a Washington official who said that
"the fear that the U.S. may alter its rolations with Cuba is unfounded (and) there
is no prospect for a change in our relations". We arrive at the conclusion that U.S.
policy on the subject will no vary: Castro will be economically strangled and there
is no future for Communism in this Continent.
"What About Political Priconers?".- Fidel Castro has taken a sorios of steps that
limit, by several means, the offer he made to allow dissatisfied Cubans to leave
the Island. Even though no public statements have been made about the political
prisoners, it may be expected that this matter has been considered in the negotia-
tions, and that Fidel Castro must be forced to play fairly in order that he may not
trade with the agony and the hope of 70,000 political prisoners and with the hope
and the anguish of their relatives.
•
November 2, 1965: "Burencracy and Red Tape can be done away with".- A comment on
the 20-year term given the "Responsable" of "Colective" 17, of Regional 2-33 of the
Cuban Consolidated Enterprise of Grocery Stores, one Roberto Montes de Oca Ramos,
and on the creation of the Ministry of Food Industries, as the typically Stalinist
system to imprison officials in times of famine, and to create more bureaucratic
agencies in an attempt to solve the problem. Cuba's administrative apparatus is a
complicated spider-web: the Ministry for the Sugar Industry, the Industrial Dept.
of the INRA, the Ministry of Domestic Trade, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the
National Bank, the Ministry for Agricultural and Cattle Affairs, the Consolidated
Enterprise of Grocery Stores, the "Collectives", the Regionals, and now the Ministry
of Food Industry. Lots of bureaucrats.
Tons of paper.
Milos of Red tape. But,

"Intrigues about the Tri-Continental Conference". Ben Barka, the mastermind of the
Tri-Continental Conference schoduled for Havana, myrteriously disappeared in Paris.
We remember that, when it was thought that this conference would be held in Algoria
undor Chinese sponsorship, its masterminds, Che Guevara and Ben Hella, disappeared.
The character who took up Cho's role in this Conference, Ben Barka, now vanishes in
Paris. Could it be that what happened to Ben Bella is about to happen to Fidel?
November 3, 1965: "How Abject Can Castro Hol".- In his recent statement to three
American and one Spanish journalists, Castro appears arrorant and acts as though he
didn't care for an "aggiornamento' with the U.S. However, from the context of his
statements it is quite obvious that he would like nothing better than being re-admit-
ted to the Latin American community and getting the blessing of the U.S.
His attitude must have boen a terrible disappointment to his followers, who must
necessarily see it as evidence that the U.S.S.R. is in full retreat in its economic
war with the U.f. over Cuba.
"Reticences That Reveal Insincerity, Caution and Fear".- At last, the Old Guard has
spoken out through Carlos Rafael Rodriguez, following the devastating "purge" that it
underwent in the hands of Fidel Castro. But fear of a second, bloody phase of the
purge has kept Carlos Rafael Rodriguez from openly attacking Fidel Castro.. Instead,
he has taken resource to veiled reticence and references to Fidel Castro's "petty-.
burgeois" past, mixed with insincere praises, in order to make it known that the
"classics" of Marxism-Leninism still distrust Fidel. If their differences with the
"new wave" are really a thing of the past, why does Old-Guard man Carlos Rafael now
bring up the fact that Fidel was not one of them at the beginning, and that he was
not a true Marxist-Leninist?.
:
November 4, 1965: "The Reaction to Camarioca: Castro's Resentment and Bitternegs".
Castro's vow to let dissatisfied Cubans out was his own error of appreciation. Pres-
ident Johnson took the challenge and then Castro tried to sound out the U.S. for co-
existentialist overtures. Hence his rejection of the Red Cross to mediate in the
matter.
:
His bitter reaction forbidding the departure from Camarioca shows the extent
14-00000
of his frustration.
All there developments allow us to predict that Castro is in
such bad shape that radical changes may soon be expected in Cuba.
#Vore on Carlos R. Rodriguez' Statements".- In his statements, Carlos R. Rodrigues
has uncovered that Fidel Castro has created the objective conditions for fractional
work within the Party with the exclusion of the Old Guard and of the Students Direc- '
torate from the executive bodies of the Party. This reveals a state of internal
rift and decomposition, and such revelation, coming from a significant Old Guard
source ruch as Rodriguez, foretells rather unpredictable consequences.
November 5, 19/5: "Sitting Bull (Carlos Rafael) Hap Spoken!" Emphasis on Carlos
Rafael Rodriguez' personal features, on his ambition to become the Cuban Revolution's
"Lenin", all of which dreams have been torn to pieces by Castro. Likewise, Carlos
Rafael, strengthened by Mo: cow's backing, has pointed out, though in a rather subtle
manner, the action of the unknown men of the Party in the struggle against Castroism.
This he did when he indirectly charged that Castro was a petty-burgeois.
"Castro Caught his Fingere on the Door and the Door Slammed on his Nose".- Because
his situation is more difficult every day, Castro hinted that his conversations on
the Cuban exodus meant the beginning of deeper negotiations with the U.S. This is
falee. Cutan Communism is not negotiable. When President Johnson opened the doors
of the U.. to all Cubans, he left it well established that this was done because of
humanitarian reasons, and that Cubans would be welcomed here until they could "return
to their homeland and find it free from fear".
November 6, 1965: "Stop this lionsence,,, Where is Che Guevara?".- Where is Che Gue-
vara? This is a quest on that constantly hammers on Fidel's cars, whenever journal-
iste, diplomats, etc., ask it to him. Besieged by this question, Castro one day told
a correspondent for the Madrid daily "Pueblo": "I think that Guevara may never return
to Cuba. He may be somewhere in Argentina". Castro, like Stalin did before him,
begins by stating that Guevara will not return to Cuba. Such a question may only be
answered by the murderer when he speaks of his victim. On the other hand, he is pre-
..

paring the cotting for the "discovery" of Guevara's corpse: it will be said that
asthma killed him, or the imperialiste, or the head-hunteres of South America.
"The Second Chester of Marcor Rodriguez' Trial- In his statements to American
journaliste, Carlor Rafael Rodriguez has dug out the issue of the trial against an
informor, which trial was regarded as one against the "Old Guard". This trial has
something more to it: the "dossier" on Joaquin Orloqui, which Fidel keeps hidden in
his sleeve in order to produce it whenever it may suit his purposes. Perhaps Carlos
Rafael has dofinterred this issue to signify that internal rifts are more acute than
ever before.
•
November 8, 1965: "The Red Tyrant in Beyond Himself with Rage".- Comments on Castro's
with
TV appearance yesterday. Castro is furious over the Cubans' rush to get out of the
Island, and over the fact that technicians and doctors are about to desert him. He
reacts by pretending to dismiss the doctors: "the grapes are sour' We remember
Hatuey, the Indian chieftain who rejected conversion because he said that if his
Spanish tormentors were going to Heaven, then he didn't want to go to Heaven.
Similarly, if Heaven is Castro's Red paradise, the doctors and technicians want out
of it.
"What About the Tri-Continental Conference?"..
2
The abduction and disappearance of
Ben Barka seems to have suspended preparations for the Tri-Continental Conference
that the Reds had scheduled for, January in Havana. Judging by the kidnapping of the
chief organizer, this Conference, which is rejected by China, is given the came treat-
ment that forced the suspension of the Algiers' Conference that the Chinese sponsored.
Lot's wait for the second chapter and we will see whether the Conference is held after
all or not.
× November 9, 1965: What Goes From One Nov. 7th to the Other".- We recall that on
Nov. 7, last year, Castro was interviewed by a correspondent for the New York Times.
At the same time, he said that he would down whatever American U-2 planes he could
with this surface-to-air antiaircraft missiles. He also said that he would use
Soviet troops in the defense of his Communist regime, and that he would welcome a

:
military alliance with the U.S.S.R.. Now, a year later; his heart bleeding over his
parting with Red China, and under brutal Soviet pressure, Castro's Nov. 7 speech
inaugurating a hospital sounds like that of a "constructive" ruler whose concern is
for the welfare of the people, and who asks that same people "to march up the (socia-
list) path". He is no longer arrogant. He belatedly begs for the people's support.
"What About Latin American Communist Parties?".- Castro dismissed the fact that
China did not greet the reorganization and change of the Cuban Communist Party, but
spite and concern were obvious in the tone of his voice. Castro knows that he has
betrayed China. On the other hand, the Communist Parties of Latin America have not
addressed Castro any congratulatory messages either, which indicates that they are
beginnning to turn their backs on him on account of his "purging" of the old guard.
Under such conditions, Castro's subservience to Moscow is greater every day. Castro
has entered the most unsurmountable phase of his crisis.
× November 10, 1965: "The Reason and Nature of the Economic Blockade".- From Castro's
Nov. 7th speech it may be deducted that the U.S.S.R. has only been able to supply him
with weapons, bullets and cannons. We state the reasons why the U.S.S.R. will not be
able to invest more in Cuba, and that, at the same time, the nations of this Hemisp-
here will continue their economic boycott of Castro's Cuba. There can be no economic
coexistence between Red Cuba and the rest of the Continent.
"Continental Resistance to Aggression".-
Even though the Lima meeting of military
chiefe from 17 American countries did not take up the question of the Inter-American
Army, the assembled chiefs unquestionably took a step towards its establishment, which
will be ultimately decided on by the Q.A.S. Aggression to the Dominican Republic,
and persistence in Cuba-drafted subversive plans against the rest of the Hemisphere,
urgently demand that adequate continental security plans be adopted in order to face
up to the threat and put an end to aggression.

their
In face of this situation,
the men in the Cuban armed forces and in the government have only one dignified course
of action: to remove the despot from power in order that Cuba may emerge from chaos and
tragedy.
"The O.A.S. Should Not Postpone Its Meeting".- The same Castroite aggression that
earlier forced the postponement of the O.A.S. Conference now warrants that the Conference
no longer be postponed. The said aggression has crented a situation that demands new
instruments and agencies to put the O.A.S. in shape to face up to the subversive threat
planned and executed in Cuba. The process that started at Punta del Este must be brought
to a successful end: the re-establishment of democracy in Cuba so that the Pearl of the
Antilles may rejoin the Inter-American system.
November 12, 1965: This program was entirely devoted to reading Dr. Sciglie's article
entitled "There Will Never Be Coexistence Or 'Making Up' between Castro-Communism and
the Free Peoples of the Hemisphere".
November 13, 1965; "Cuba's Internal Economic Front is Disastrous".- Castro, seeing that
he'll never accomplish "coexistence" with the U.S., and that the USSR is gradually with-
drawing its assistance to his regime, seeks refuge in the internal economic front, and
tries to increase the agricultural production of the peasants. The open failure of said
purposes became evident ever since Castro took 150,000 men from the countryside and

turned them into roldiers, militiamen, informers, etc. There is no way to replace this
rural labor force. If these men were returned to the country, they would plot against
Castro. If they are not returned, they cannot work.
"The Fate of Communist Puppets".- The fate of Ben Pella in Algeria and of Sukarno in
Indonesia show what Communist puppets can expect. Both men were intimate friends of
Fidel Castro, both visited Cuba, and both servod the samo Red master whom Fidel Castro
serves. The outcome in their cases constitute a writing on the wall for the bearded
tyrant.

"HARLA..., UNIDAD INVOLUCIONARIA" (W.R.U.L.)
November 15, 1965: "Fidel Castro's Grave Sugar Problem".- Following Moscow's promises
and instructions, Cac'ro plunged deep into overproduction of sugar in the hope that he
would be able to sell the whole crop. Last year he turned out over 6,000,000 tons of
sugar and about half of it is still in the warehouses. The Russians never purchased it.
This year Castro is blowing his top in face of his dilemma: If he turns out 6.5 million
tone, the USSR will not buy it. If he cuts production down, the cane crop will be lost.
In face of such a dilemma, he esca: or to the Sierra Maertra with the doctors and, from
there, he puts the blame for all his woer on the U..
"Storm Aire Blowing on the Turquino".- The rally atop Mt. Turquino became a kind of a
requiem for the tyrant's aspirations. He and hoped that the negotiations aimed at evac-
uating dissatisfied Cubans to the U.S. would pave the way for an 'aggiornamento' with
the Americans, but his maneuver has turned on him like a boomerang. So, besides him-
self with rage, he lashed at the U.S. On top of all this, Cuban patriots showed that
they are still active, and that the Malecón Drive is vulnerable to succeerful commando
action.

"HARIA,,, INHIPAD PEVCLUSIONAZIA" (W.RU.L.).
November 16, 1965: "The Rio Macting of Forcism Ministers".- A comment on the
II Extraordinary Meeting of Inter-American Foreign Ministers, which will convene
tomorrow, Nov. 17, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. The main pointe in the
agenda: economic development, the Alliance for Frogress, the strenghtening of the
Inter-American system, the improvement of instruments for the peaceful solution
of controversies, and the strengthening of representative domocracy. Lastly,
and even though this is not a concrete point in the agenda, special attention
will be devoted to the struggle against communism throughout the Americas. To
this respect, the VI Mooting of American Armies has just taken place in Lima,
Perú, and in it concrete decisions, plans and formilas were adopted.
"Another 0.1.S, Step".- The subject of subversion is unavoidable to the Rio
meeting. The Punta del Este declaration, the diplomatic isolation and the July,
1964, trade blockade sanctioning the aggression arainst Venezuela, put the Com-
munist regime on the verge of collective military intervention. Subversion has
continued, and sustained Castro-Communist interference in the Dominican Republic
will force the 0.A.F. to take further steps in sanctioning the aggressor.

UNICAL REVOLUCIONARIA" (W.R.U.L.)
November 17, 1965: "Har Drums on the Fino-Sovict Border".- On the basis of long-
timo difference between Red China and Russia, we agree with Vice-President Humphrey
who, during a recent TV appearance, disclosed that foviot and Chinese border gar-
risons were being beefed up lately. The motto "more cannons and loss butter" is
becoming fashionable again, with the consequent decrease of production and increase
of military budget appropiations, as well as with a decrease of foreign aid to
countries such as Cuba. From thir, we may conclude that Castro's situation worsens
day by day. Cuba's only solution in to get rid of Cantro in order that it may once
again enjoy peace and prosperity.
"Aspects of an Unsolved Rift".- The Communist Parties of the Americas are worried
over the situation of their old Cuban comrades who live under a Damocles' sword in
the hands of Fidel Castro. They have been unable to keep the trial of Marcos Rodrí-
guez from having a second part in Ordoqui's case-file, which is also the second part
of the "trial" against Cuba's old Commies. Latin Communists are having a clash
with Fidel and with the Castroites of their respective countries, and they are en-
gaged in fractional work to un'ermine Castro's designs and put their old comrades
back in the leadership of the Cuban Party.

"What Can Castro Get From The Russians?"
From
An analysis of Fi-
del's now stand, whereby he abandons neutrality between the USSR and Red China.
In return for his "pledge of allegiance", the Kremlin has offered Castro an increase.
in economic and military aid. Perhaps the Russians will in fact give him guns,
tanks and rockets once again in exchange for Cuban surar. But as far as economic
aid is concerned, Castro should know that Soviet-Bloc countries are firm about
halting further investments in the Cuban failure. What is more, they are talking
of demanding political, financial and economic reforms from the bearded despot that
would permit minute inspection and guidance of Cuban affairs by his sponsorɛ over-
seas. Will Castro tolerato such intervention? No one knows.
"The O.A.S. IN RIO". The O.A.F., which convened yesterday in Rio, faces a continent
-wide situation whose gravest problem is still Communist Cuban subversion and aggres-
sion. The process that bogan in Punta del Este and continued with the July 192,

November 19, 172: How the Anti-Communist Fight Goes".- A summary is made of the anti-
Communist stragric in Asia, which is tynthetized in the Indonesian events. There, anti-
Communism is gaining force day by day. And in South Viet Nam, where the U... Army has
just gained a great victory, rotating the principle of defending the integrity of South
Vict Nam. In the American, we can quote from the brave speech delivered by Brazilian
Fresident Varshall Castello Branco, who called for a revision of the old concepts of
political intervention and creating that of counter-intervention against Communism.
Lastly, we point out that the voice of arms rang out in Cubɔ with an attack against
the Cuban coast line, which evidenced the Cubans' fighting spirit against Communism.
"Back to Popular-Front Tactics".- It is anounced that the Kremlin is returning to its
policy of popular fronts, which was in vogue back in the 30s. Some of the results of
this policy were Italin's 'entente' with Hitler and Mussolini to put an end to the
Spanish Republic. In France, after undermining its institutions and demoralizing the
French People by means of the Popular Front, the Kremlin concocted the Nazi-Soviet
agreement that caleached the Second World War. This time, the whole thing is aimed
at the Americas and the change is anounced in Havana. This is the new wrapping of
continent-wide version and the purpose is to create an atmosphere of confidence and,
eventually, to befray the (Communiste') democratic and Catholic allies, as well and
everyone else who is naive enough to join the Fopular Fronts.
.
November 20, 1945: "A Tribute to Cuban Heroes".- A political, moral, military and
revolutionary evaluation of the Cuban patriots' attack against the Eighth Police Pre-
cint, the Riviera hotel and the house of puppet President Forticos.
In the article,
it is indicated how Castro, even though he spends hundreds of millions of dollars to
accomplish invulnerability, found out overnight that he is far from invulnerable to a
i
naval attack perpetrated by a group of Cubans who wiled nearly inefficient weapons.
Castro wrath over the failure of his spionage network knew no limits. We pay homage
to the hercas who, with their action on Cuba, Faluted the other heroes: the ones that

shed their blood in Viet Nam.
'
"Counter-Intervention is Equivalent to Legitimite Self-Defente".- The stultorn, un-
warranted interpretation of the doctrine of non-intervention has made it porrible for
the Communiste to intervene themsolver in the affairs of other countries, even milit
arily and on a large scale, as did the Castro forces in the Dominican Republic. The
concept that hangs around the halls where 0.4.8. meetings are held is that which
allow: for counter-intervention as a moans of legitimate self-defense. This is
equivalent to proventive action acuinet subversion originated in Communist Cuba.
November 22, 1965: "Castro Liod About His Spanish Trade".- On the 21, Radio Havana
told the Culan people how beneficial trading with Spain war being. The bunch of Cas-
troite lies must be exposed with facts and statistics in order to show that Spain'e
trade with Cui, during the first oight months of 1965, han dwindled by 31% ne compar-
ed with 19:4. On the other hand, Spain has withdrawn its ships from the Cuban run,
and does not seem very interested in Cuban orders for tuna fishing boats, since the
productive capacity of its shipyards is already committed in advance till 1967. With
falce data, Castro tries to show that he has floated the blockade, but the truth is
that the blockade is flouting his own designs.
:
"Counter-Intervention: a Supplement to the Johnson Doctrine".- In Rio, Dean Puck has
proposed that the O.A.S. adopt what mearurer may be necessary to prevent another Com-
munist regire from being established in this Hemisphere. This, essentially, war the
doctrine that Fresident Johnson stated when the aggression startel against the Domini-
can Republic. Besides, among the Foreign Ministers, the concept of counter-interven-
tion is gaining momentum as a way counter-attacking the aggressive forces. This means
that the blockade and isolation imposed by the 0.1.5. against the Communist regime,
and the newly-issued Johnson Doctrine, are being supplemented in a manner that may
be definitive towards ending the subversive threat that emanates from the focal point
:

of aggression: Communist Cuba.
November 23, 1965: "New Shadowr Over Cuba".- Dean Buck's statements in Rio have
ruperlative importance when he stater the American stand regarding the defense of the
Hemisphere from Communist aggression, whether with the concurrence of the other countrios
of the Continent, or unilaterally. On the other hand, we are informed of an epidemic
of foot-and-mouth disease in Ukrania and European Russia which is affecting most of
the Sovietal cattle production. All this indicates that the future holds no future
in Cuba, if we may play with words, and that responsible men in the Castro Gvt. and
armed forces have only one porrible course of action left: to remove Castro and return
Cuba to democracy and welbeing.
"The Great Maneuver of the Tri-Continental Conference".- The Kremlin leaders that
boart the Tri-Continental Conference ar a triumph over China, are using it at the
same time for a far more dangerous maneuver against the American Continent. Sub-
versive plans have failed, and now they are plarning a tactical about-face to continue
their cubversive tasks through other means, i.e., the Latin American Popular Fronts.
Eut the memories of that political epoch back in the 30s. and of its European conse-
quences, are very much alive in the memory of the people for the new tactic to yield
any fruits in the Americas.

HUAHLA.... UNIDAD REVOLUCIONIN" (N.R.U.L.)
December 1, 1965: "The Soviets Order The Surar Harvest To Start".- While Padl
sought military and economic aid in the USSR, Fidel Castro defiantly warned that the
sugar harvest would begin as late ar Jan. 7. But back came Raul from Morcow, not with
a pledge of subriantial aid, but with instructions to have the harvest begin immediate
ly. That is why Castro changed his strategy and launched the harvest right away.
"What Is The Tri-Continental Conference?".- In the first place, the Tri-Continental
Conference does not represent the countries of three continents, as its organizers
claim, but rather the Communists and terrorists from the ro-called "rovements of mation
al liberation" in those countries. In the second place, the Conference is a retting
for the Sino-Soviet strurgle for the leadership of the African and Asian Communist
Parties,
and the struggle goes on amist intrigus, maneuvers, abductions and murders.
December 2, 1965: "Cuba Cannot Return To The Latin American World".- Once more Dean
Rusk has clearly stated that, in order to be admitted back into the Inter-American
community, Cuba rust first severe its ties with the USSR and quit subversion and in-
filtration in this Continent. Castro's friends inside the O.A.S., who harboured hopes
of bringing Cuba back into the Organization, should abandon them. Those "holier-than- ;
thou" characters who pretend to defend self-determination and non-intervenvention in
public, privately charge Castro-Communism and its aggressions.
"A Double-Play Against Peking And Castro".- By means of the Tri-Continental Conference,
which summarizes a phase of maneuvering and counter-mancuvering within the Sino-Soviet
rift, the Kremlin has managed to out-wit the Chinese, take control of African, Asian
and Latin American Communist Parties, and feel a death blow to Castro's dream of becom
ing the role leader of the Latin American Commies.

December 3, 1215: "France and Castr^ism".–
Micfort nos never come alone, specially
for Castro. Now, in view of his horrible financial crisis, his relations with France
are obviously deteriorating. Ac evidence, we point out the French cuncollation of a
f. 75 million contract to build a quicklime, insecticide and fertilizer plant in Cuba.
"Castro Rises Hir Volume Amin".- Castro's failure in his attempt to ret. the U.S. to
change policy of extreme agitation, and he is promising arms to the subversive forces
throughout the Americas. But there is one mora rearon: the Tri-Continental Conference,
of which Castro wanted to be the center. However, he has been displaced to a secondary
role. That is why his approach to subversion is closer to that of the Chinese than to
that of the organizers of the Conference.
December 4, 1965: "Latin America Excludes Cuba From Its Plans".- As has been said,
nome characters in Latin America publicly oncourage Castro's Cuba, but privately despise
it and exclude it from their plans. An example is the Spanish plan to help in Latin
America's industrialization, and its exclusion of Cuba. The 19 Latin American nations
also banned Cubn from their U.W. plans for industrialization.
"Castro In Hoved By. Dispair".- Rather than strength, Castro's speech of Dec. 2 denotes
weakness and dispair. His bragging about arsenals with which he counts to help sub-
versive froces throughout the Continent is a desperate provocation. There are three
key pointer which corner Fidel Castro: One is the doctrine that subversion is agres-
sion; the other one is the Johnson Doctrine, which became effective in the Dominican
Republic, followed by Dean Rusk's Rio de Janeiro statement that the U.S., whether alone
or accompanied, will intervene wherever aggression occurs.

Canada and Puerto Rico joining up, the labor hoycott action is completed. Ships flying
the flage of countries that trado with Castro will have a tough time at American ports,
and the noore around Castro's neck in tightening.
December 7, 1965: "Death of Antonio hceo".- This article wis devoted to the glorifi-
cation and remembrance of Gen. Antonio Maceo, the Supreme Commander of the Cuban Army
of Liberation in the 1895 War of Independence, who was rhot and killed in action on
Dec. 7, 18%, near Punta Brava, Pinar del Río. The Communists have attempted to crane
the memory of this hero because Maceo war a halfbred, of humble origin, ant, novortho-
lets, Cuba's No. 1 roldior. Hence, to curtain, their theories on class struggle, the
Communists had to destroy the momory of the working-clase hero of a burgeois nation.
"The Tri-Continental Challenge".- Aside from the meaning of the Tri-Continental Conf-
erence within the Sino-Soviet rift, the raid meeting in a challenge to Inter-American
law and security which comes from gangsters and Communist agents from three continents.
Cuba, a ratellite and the focal point of dubversion and agerersion to American countries,

"Castro Charged With Che Guevara's Murder".- Felipe Alvahuante, in the Mexican daily
"El Universal", charges that Castro murdered Che Guevara on Soviet orders. Of course,
the cheap novel concated by Cartro on Guevara can convince no one, and, in 9 months,
no evidence has been produced that point to its truthfulness.
therefore, is more acceptable than Fidel Castro's version.

skirmisher near Finking, while dirmired ar torritorial differences, really respond
to the ideological rift. The USSR incroused its military budget by 5% at the expense
of education, foreign aid and arricultural and industrial development, on the grounds
that "American aggressiveness" force her to do ro, but the truth is that it is the
Chinese throat that promptes such a move. On the other han', we can expect larger
shipments of Soviet arms to Cuba, but a cut in economic aid.
"The Gemini 7".- The Gemini 7 flight and its scheduled mooting with the Gomini 6
will broak all space flight records. The Soviet total of flying hours in tripled,
and a rimilar advantage is reached over Soviet Inunchings. This is the exponent of
the degree of development achieved by the Wert towards goals which the Communist world
is not oven approaching. Berides, it is a warning to foviet leaders who reok to destroy
tho accomplishments of the West. If they were to attempt ruch Pestruction, they would
be dortroyed instond.
December 10, 1965: "A New Collapro of the Connie World".-: The Marxist maxim that
history is "irreversible" has collapsed once arain, this time, in the Congo, Algeria,
Indonesia and, more recently, in the Sudan. The African peoples are being reborn to
political life, rapidly waking up from the Communict spell and taking an anti-Com-
munist stand. The last country to do so is the fulan, which has just outlawed the
Sudanese Communist Party and warned all other parties having connections with the Reds
that they may suffer the same fate.

December 11, 1965: "We Forecast The Failure of the Forthcoming Sumar Harvest".- We
go back to the subject of the Culan "zafra" on the insis of Castro's June 8th state-
ments, when he plodged the reconstruction of the Cuban susar industry, the erection of
a modern new sugar mill in the Cauto River valley, and a 6.5 million ton suger harvont.
What has been accomplished? The Cuban curar industry is still in shambler, there is no
new mill in the Cauto valley, and Castro, with protests and lies, is already attempt-
ing to justify that thore will be no 6.5 million tone of sumar.
Coinciding with the news
"The Bankruptcy of Cuba's Foreign Credit and the boycott".-
insued by French fertilizer company was concelling its Cuter contract due to Cuba's
failure to pay for over $3 million's worth of merchandise, it was reported that the

papers "Izvestia" and "Pravda", respecti:ely the organs of the government and of the
Communist Party. The Prime Minister's s'and consists of pointing at the economic
debacle and at the need to maintain the current level of military expenditurer, while
Brezhnov's position is one of advocating a strong-armed Ped Army by incronting the
military budget. The Army, in turn, has rewarded Brezhnev's support by causing the
retirement of Mikoyan, so that 2nd Party Secretary Nikolai Podsorny could be kicked
upstairs to the Presidency of the USSR. More changes are to come within the framework.

"Subyerrion in Uruguay and Monstruous terror in Venezuela".- The blueprint for viol-
once in Uruguay is part of the funeral plan for Latin American subversion drafted in
Cuba. The steps taken by the Uruguayan Government have chocked the early dangers of
Chitro-Communist rubversion, but it in significant that the Communicte si ould have
moved their target more to the south in order to provoke a Dominican-style civil strife.
The abominable charecter taken by Vonozuolan Red terror is also meaningful: a young
housewife murdered by a bomb placed inside a Christme present consistent of an imge
of the Virgin Mary.
December 14, 1965: "President Johnson: The Will of Freedom".- A comment on the state-
ments made by President Johnson, who has roac: erted U.S. determination to defend the
freedom of South Viet Nam regardless of all possible consequencer. We stress the sacri-
fice, in terms of wealth from the oarth and human lives to which Red China forcer North
Viet la, while the Chines themselves laugh at peace offorts. This case is presented :
as an example to all other peoples, and what in bound to ha pen to Fidel Castro is
also pointed out.

"They Talk Pence But Practice War".- Poace in a favorite subject of Communist propa-
ganda. It is also one of the most deceitful ones, since, while the Commies talk of
peace, they systematically reject all bona fide proposals to accomplish peace, such as
in the case of Viet Nam. The Tri-Continental Conference schedulled for Jan. 3 bears
the germ of violent conflict to create new Viet Nams in America and Africa.

"THE COLUNISTS HAVE LOST THE CUBAN YOUTH".- In this article, we annalyze how Cuban
youth, because of its natural thirst for knowledge, as first became interested in the
scientific principles of Communism, thinking of the porribility of finding the anewer
to man'à quert for happineer there. However, young Culans are now disillusioned with the
theory and practice of Marxist-Leninism, and they are obvisualy disasociating themselves
from Castro-Communism. That is precisely why, a few days ago, the regime thought it
convenient to call a national meeting of the Communist Youth. In this Red event, those
leaders that failed in their task to indoctrinate the young were burged, and it was
agreed that brain-washing would be a prerromative of the political police of the State.
Castro has lost the young. The young are fighting Castro. They must be helped.

"Somter Signs Over the Tri-Continental".- The secret character of the Tricontinental
Conference constitutes evidence of the rift and troubles within the parley structure.
On the other hand, Castro's and Dorticos' speeches calling for unity and quoting the
example of North Viet Nam as to need for such unity, are further proof of the above
assertion. We forecast the failure of the Tricontinental parley as a means to unify
Communiem in its projections for international struggle. We further forecast that the
Sino-Soviet rift will become all the more violent.

"The Workers of the Americas and the Tricontinental".- The workers of this Continent
have announced that the boycott against Red Cuba will be intensified as a reply to plans
for Hemispheric subversion being drafted at the Tricontinental parley in Havana. The
sensibility of the workers of the Americas is hurt by the fact that the Red terrorists
of the Congo, the murderers of women and children from three continents, meet in the
heart of the Americas to plot more bloodshed and destruction. The workers of the Amer-
icas are against Communist totalitarianiem, as is the people of Cuba, by whose side
they stand.

purpose: a) to frustrate all attempts at unity around the USSR; b) to charge the USSR

Fidel Castro. On this basis, we forecast a tough offensive against Fidel by pro-Chinese

"We'll Tell the Reds What They Want To Know".- Cubans seeking to leave the country
are subject to veritable "third degrees" by the C-2. They are acked whether or not

State control of all education, etc. The unfortunate applicants manage to give ans-
were that will not jeopardize their chances of leaving. Yet, their interrogators are
apparently satisfied with the outcome of the questioning. The reason for this is that
Castro feels the need to give some explanation to the Communist world for the growing
exodus of Cubans. However, if the Communists are really interested in knowing why the
Cubans want to go, we will be glad to oblige... They are just running away from hunger,
terror, oppression, and from the execution wall.
"A Strange Soviet Mission in Viet Nam".- After the British proposal for peace in Viet
Nam was welcomed with seeming interest by Kremlin leaders, there have sent a strange
mission to Viet Nam whose purpose is not known. Maybe they have gone to vouch for
peace, or maybe, on the contrary, they have gone to Hanoi to pledge further Soviet aid
to the puppet Ho Chi Minh. At any rate, the terms of the conflict remain unchanged.
Ruck has stated that everything may be subject to negotiations except withdrawal of
American forces from S. Viet Nam. And the Communist powers, on the other hand, far
from accepting the peace overtures, step up their campaign of aggression, totalitarian-
ism, etc.

"Sino-Soviet Differences Over N. Viet Nam".- Sino-Soviet differences over North Viet
Nam have become evident lately. Nowadays, Russia is just as much interested in China's
loss of prestige in Viet Nam as China is interested in Russia's loss of prestige in
Cuba. Hence the "rice" economic aggression. We wonder whether the Soviet mission to
Viet Nam, rather than pledge unlimited aid to Ho, may have gone there to tighten the
screws of their Vietnamese puppet. This is indicated by recent Yugoslavian statements
- which is tantamount to speaking of Russian statements- charging China with keeping
North Viet Nam from considering peace offers.

Castro sought to strike a hard blow at the Chinese Communists. On Moscow's orders, he

They claim that they never agreed to a long-term barter of rice for Cuban sugar. They
only agreed, they say, to exchange these products in 1965. For once, we must agree
with the Chinese Rede: Castro is indeed the biggest liar the world has known. Trade
agreements are written, clarified and specified. We are inclined to believe the
Chinese and to reject Fidel's candid explanation of a "misunderstanding”.

"A summary of Castro's speech at the Tricontinental".- Castro's speech revealed
the deepening of the division between the Chinese and the Russians, whom he called
on to unite. He violently charged the C.P. of Latin America with getting lost in a
"sea of theories", interpretations and tactics, and with unwillingness to go out
into the battlefield to face the dangers of open war. He attempted to answer charges
that he had abandoned the revolutionists of Santo Domingo after exciting them to re-
volt, and justified himself with the fact that Cuba "is a small nation", lacking in
nuclear weapons. Lastly, he acknowledged the deep effect of anti-Communist propa-
ganda in Cuba and in Latin America, which propaganda ho charges of slandering his
regime.
"Fidel Castro at the closing of the Tricontinental".- Fidel Castro's desperate tone
had defeatist overtones when he admitted what he had never admitted before: the pos-
sibility that he may lose all or part of Cuba's territory. This was a defeatist
warning, perhaps made to insure a retreat without personal risks. As to Che, he
added further confusion to the issue. He was not really replying to the "imperial-
ists", as he said but to some of the delegates to the Tricontinental, who demanded
a clarification of Guevara's mysterious disappearance.

Ship Weapons,
Defector Says

A Cuban sa captain who
walked off his ship with
three of his officers at a Jap

charged Thursday in Miami
that Cuban vessela lake
weapons to North Viet Nam
"three or four" times every
six months.
The captain. Francisco
Cobas Oses, 46, told a press
conference called by Cuban
exiles that "all Cuban ships
have orders to carry war
materiel to North Viet Nam
to help the North Vietnam-
ese effort."
The Cuben Embassy in
Japan, said Cobas, is acting
as coordinator for all Viet
Nam-bound shipments taken
at Communist ports in Asia.
The four Cuban defectors
.of the 7,900-ton freighter
Aracelio Iglesias were flown
to San Francisco last Tues.
day. There they gave U.S.
agents their account of how
Fidel Castro's ships carry
Red Chinese arms to the
Viet Cong. They arrived la
Miami Wednesday,
Shortly before Cobas'
press conference, the Aracel
in Iglesias sailed three days
behind schedule for Commu-
nat China reportedly to
pick up military hardware
for the North Vietnamese. It
was being skippered by the
second mage, on orders from
Cuba.
"The Cuban Embassy in
Tokyo had secretely ar-
ranged for the Aracelio
Iglesias to take a shipment
of war materiel from North
Korea to North Viet Nam,"
charged Cobas.
Nevertheless he said plans
were changed at the last min-
ute and he was "hastily or-
dered" to pick up the ship-
ment of weapons in Shang-
hai instead. It was then
when the four decided to
defect.
"The ships that sail froma
Cuba with sugar are ordered
to pick up the weapons after

DEFECTING CUBAN SEAMEN EXPLAIN THEIR DECISION HERE.
Skipper, three officers left Cuban freighter in Japan. Cuban
logistical support of Viet Roda donounced. Crewmen reluctant
to transport war materials to North Viet. Role of Castro's
Embassy in Tokyo. Cuban Reds withhold ship's itinerary to de
ceive the Japanese. Spying on board. Bureaucratic chaos re-
sults in damage to Cuba's foreign supplies.
-
A Cuban skipper who left his ship in Japan Dec. 26 confirmed today in Miami that
Castro's logistical support of Viet Nam Rods was the main reason for his defection.
In a press conference held at the Biscayne Room of the Hotel McAllister, Francisco.
Cobas, the defecting captain of the Cuban freighter "Aracelio Iglesias", told news-
mon why he and three of his fellow officers decided to seek asylum in the United
States.
-
The press conference was arranged by UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA, a Miami-based Cuban
group whom Cobas approached upon his arrival from Japan. Cobas said that he had
asked the U.R. to help him get in touch with the press so that he and his shipmates
could denounce Cuban maneuvers to help the Viet Cong.
-
During the conference, Cobas was flanked by Antonio Arias, Mario Pérez and Humberto
Fernández, the three other defecting officers of the "Aracelio Iglesias". Cobas,
introduced by U.R. Secretary General Mario Seiglic, spoke for the group. Said Co-
bas that he and his shipmates had refused to run the risks of transporting war mate-
rials to North Viet Nam, particularly since they were convinced that such transpor-
tation was wrong. Cobas added that all Cuban vé:sola have been ordered to take mil
itary supplies to North Viet Nam from other Asian Communist ports, and that the Cub
an Embassy in Tokyo serves as coordinator for all auch shipments.

--
Referring to his former ship, Capt. Cobas explained that the Embassy had ordered
the "Aracelio Iglesias" to sail to a North Korean port and to await further instrug
tions there. The Cuban diplomats withheld the ship's itinerary and declared that
the "Aracelio" would return to the Japanese port of Yahata before proceeding to
North Viet Nam. By pretending that the ship would come back to Japan, they hoped
to deceive the crew and reassure the Japanese as to the cargo and the use to which
the ship was being put. The truth was, however, that, while in North Korea, the
"Aracelio" was to receive orders to load a cargo of war supplies and sail directly
from there to North Viet Nam.
-
--
According to Cobas, this could not be done in the end because the Tokyo Embassy was
warned at the last moment that the North Korean port of Chinnampo was blocked by
ice. The "Aracelio" was how ordered to pick up another military shipment at Shan--
ghai and take it to North Viet Nam. It was then that Cobas and his shipmates dec--
ided to walk out.
Cobas went on to explain that logistical support to the North Vietnamese was one of
the two tasks assigned to the new Cuban envoy in Tokyo, a fanatically loyal Commu---

nist named Panuel Jorge Cuevo Menéndes, whose previous job was to run concentra--
tion camps in the Isle of Pines.
The Cuban skipper referred to ill-treatment of Cuban seamen by the Castro regime,
mentioning among other instances the constant spying on board by G-2 men prefer--
ential Customs treatment given Communist-Bloc sailors and the ridiculously low lo-
cal-currency allowance of 5 per week given to the Cubans while in foreign ports.
Elaborating on the issue of espionage, Capt. Cobas revealed that the radio and tel-
egraph operator is usually the G-2 man on board. As captain of the "Aracelio", Co-
bas himsolf was forced to surrender the mail of supposedly "disloyal" crewmen to
one of the spies assigned to his ship.
--

ma
As regards operation conditions of the Cuban merchant fleet, Cobas told newsmen --
that the two basic problems confronted by Cuban shipping are the obsolete Soviet
equipmont installed in most boats and the excessive bureaucratic red tape and dis--
organization. As example of the latter, he mentioned the fact that the Cuban buy-
ing agency seldom informs the shipping coordinating office of the dates oh which
the merchandise is to be picked up at a foreign port. Last-minute notices and sub-
sequent efforts to find ehips usually moe' failure, with the result that the seller
must pay higher warehouse costs. This hɛ caused many foreign firms to either re-
fuse to trade with Castro or to impose extremely harsh terms to protect themselves
from the costly effects of the Communists' unreliability.
Capt. Francisco Cobas then revealed that he understood that a vast "reorganization"
of the Cuban Havy was undertaken early this fall. Most officers, he said, were dis
charged on the grounds of suspected "disloyalty" to the government. Incidentally,
added Cobas, some retired Army officers who have had no naval experience, have also
been assigned to the merchant marine. Cobas assured his audience that their deci-
sion to quit was made of their own free will and that no one had pressured them
into it. He denounced Communist oppression of his homeland and said that he and his
three shipmates refused to keep serving under it.
-
-
Following Capt. Cobas' statement, the newsmen asked him numerous questions. Most
of these referred to the issue of Cuban boats being used to carry war supplies to
Việt Nam, which was quoted by the Cuban seamen as the chief reason for their defec-
tion. All journalists present showed great interest in this matter, as such Cuban
assistance to Viet Nam Reds more or less directly results in the loss of American -
lives in that Asian country.

papel de la Embajada castrista en Tokyo.

Un capitán cubano que abandonó su nave en Japón el 26 de diciembre confirmó hoy
on Miami que el apoyo logístico de Castro a los rojos de Viet Nam había sido el prin
cipal motivo de su deserción. En una conferencia de prensa celebrada en un céntrico
hotel de esta ciudad, Francisco Cobas, capitán del carguero cubano "Aracelio Iglesias"
explicó a los periodistas por qué él y sus compañeros de oficialidad decidieron soli-
citar acilo en los EE.UU.
La conferencia de prensa fué convocada por UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA, organización cu
bana radicada aquí a la que se dirigió Cobas a su llegada del Japón. Cobas dijo que
habia solicitado la ayuda de U.R. a fin de ponerse en contacto con los periodistas y
denunciar las maniobras de Cuba Roja en favor de los rojos vietnamitas.
Durante la conferencia, se encontraban junto a Cobas los otros tres oficiales asi-
lados, nombrados Antonio Ruiz Arias (Primer Oficial), Mario Julio Pérez Girón (Jefe
de Máquinas), y Humberto R. Fernández (Sobrecargo). El capitán Cobas fue presentado
por el Dr. Mario Seiglie, Secretario General de UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA.
Dijo Cobas que tanto él como sus compañeros de tripulación se negaban a correr el
riesgo que supone transportar material bélico a Viet Nam del Norte, máxime cuando a -
brigaban la convicción de que dicha actitud del gobierno cubano es altamente condena-
ble. Añadió Cobas que todos los buques cubanos tienen órdenes de llevar suministros
de guerra a Viet Nam del Norte desde otros puertos comunistas del Asia, y que la Emba
jada cubana en Tokyo funge como coordinadora de tales embarques.
Refiriéndose al "Aracelio Iglesias", que capitaneaba, Cobas reveló que la Embaja-
da cubana en Japón había dispuesto que el "Aracelio" zarpara rumbo a un puerto norco-
reano y aguardara allí nuevas órdenes. Los diplomáticos castristas retuvieron el iti
nerario del buque y declararon que el mismo volvería al puerto japonés de Yahata an -
tos de seguir rumbo a Viet Nam dol Norte. Al hacer ver que el buque regresaría al Ja
pon, los comunistas se proponían engañar a la tripulación y tranquilizar a las autori
dades japonesas respecto del cargamento del buque y del uso que se iba a dar al mismo.
La realidad, empero, era que, durante la estancia del "Aracelio" en Corea del Norte,
el mismo habría de recibir la ordan de cargar un embarque de material bélico y zarpar
14-00000
_2_
directamente hacia Viet Nam dol Norte.
Según Cobas, esto no pudo hacerse debido a que, a última hora, la Embajada reci
bió el aviso de que el puerto norcoreano de Chinnanpo estaba bloqueado por el hielo.
En vista de ello, so ordenó al "Aracelio" levar anclas rumbo a Shanghai para roco -
gor allí otro cargamento do matorial de guerra y conducirlo al Viet Nam. Fué enton
ces que Cobas y sus compañeros decidieron abandonar al buque.
A continuación, Cobas pasó a explicar que el apoyo logístico los Viet Cong
constituye una de las tareas encomendadas al nuevo embajador cubano en Tokyo, un co-
munista fanático nombrado Manuel Jorge Cuervo Monondoz que tuvo a su cargo la admi-
nistración de varios campos de concentración on Isla de Pinos.
Refiriéndose a los malos tratos que reciben los marinos cubanos, Cobas mencionó
la constante vigilancia a quo están sometidos a bordo por el G-2 comunista, así como
a las consideraciones especiales de aduana que se dan a los tripulantes de buques de
otros paises comunistas y a la ridícula cantidad ($5 semanales) en monoda local que
se da a los marinos cubanos para sus gastos en puertos extranjeros. Detallando la
cuestión de la vigilancia, revoló el capitán Cobas que on la mayoría de los buques
cubanos al G-2 do a bordo suele ser el radiotelegrafista. Como capitán del "Arace-
lio Iglesias", el propio Cobas so vio obligado a entregarlo a otro agente policíaco
dostacado a bordo toda la correspondencia de ciertos tripulantes supuestamente des
leales al régimon..
También dijo Cobas a los periodistas que los principales problemas que confronta
la navegación cubana los constituyen los equipos soviéticos anticuados instalados en
muchos buques y las complicaciones y confusiones burocráticas. Como ejemplo de esto
último, señaló Cobas que la agencia oficial de compras del régimen cubano casi nunca
comunica a la coordinadora de fletes (CUFLET) la fecha en que deborá cargarse alguna
mercancía en puerto extranjero. Dicha fecha no se avisa hasta última hora, fracasan
do así los intentos de CUFLET para conseguir buque. Como consecuencia de esto, el =
vendedor extranjero ve notablemonte aumentados sus costos de almacón, y esto ha he.
cho que muchas firmas extranjeras bien se abstengan de comerciar con la tiranía roja
o impongan términos leoninos de venta para precaverse de los costosos efectos de la
irresponsabilidad comunista.
El capitán Cobas reveló que, según tenía entendido, la Marina de Guerra de Cuba
Roja sufrió una amplia "reorganización" a principios del otoño. Según dijo, muchos
oficiales fueron licenciados por su supuesta "deslealtad" al régimen. Los más afor-
tunados fueron transferidos a la marina mercante, a la que también se ha incorporado
a muchos oficiales retirados del Ejército que carecen por completo de experiencia na
val. Los restantes oficiales licenciados de la Marina de Guerra han sido fusilados
o recluidos en prisión.

El Capitán Cobas aseguró a los presentes que su decisión y la de sus compañeros
era al producto de su libérrima voluntad, no habiéndose ejercido sobre ellos la me
nor presión. Cobas denunció la opresión comunista en su patria y añadió que ni él
ni sus tres compañeros podían seguir sirviendo a la causa roja.

Luego de estas declaraciones, los periodistas presontes formularon al Capitán Co
bas numorosas preguntas, la mayoría de las cuales se referían al uso de las naves de
Cuba Roja para llevar suministros a los comunistas del Viet Cong. Todos los repor
toros asistentes no mostraron vivamonto interesados en este asunto, por cuanto dicha
ayuda cubana so traduco más o monos directamento en la pérdida de vidas norteamerica

MOVIMIENTO UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA
chipmater and I have requested political asylum from the United States
because we are convinced that Cuban support of the Communist war in Vietnam is
wrong and we refuse is run the ricks of transporting war material to North Viet
Nam.
:
All Cuban ships have orders to carry cargo to North Vietnam to help the
North Vietnamese war effort. The Cuban Embassy in Japan is acting as the coor-
dinator for all shipments of war material to North Vietnam via Cuban ships from
Communist ports in Asia. The Cutan Embassy in Tokyo had secretly arranged for
the Aracolio Iglosias to take a shipment of war materials from North Korea to
North Vietnam. In order to hide their intentions, the Embassy arranged that the
Aracelio itinerary be kept up in the air until the last possible moment; then to
fool the crew and the Japanese they gave the story the ship would return to Japan
to lead tin cargo at Yahata and then proceed on route to North Vietnam. In real-
ity, wo wore to receive instructions on itinerary while in North Korea telling
us to proceed directly to North Vietnam after loading the war supplies.
At the last moment, however, the Embassy was informed that the port of
Chinnampo was blocked by ice. The Cuban Embassy then hastily arranged for us to
pick up a shipment of arms in Shangai previously scheduled for another Cuban
boat about the end of January.
Logistical support to the North Vietnamese is one of the two tasks assigned
to Mr. Manuel Jorge Cuervo, the now Cuban Ambassador to Japan. His other func-
tion is to erase the bad effects on Japanese-Cuban trade caused by the defection
of the former trade Counselor to Japan, Gilberto Alemany. The Cuban government
is very concerned about the prospect of declining trade since already some comp-
anies that formerly traded with Cuba, will no longer do so openly.
In general, I may say that members of the Cuban merchant marine live under
unbearable conditions. The treatment we receive is so bad that no one feals
like cooperating with the marine purposes of the regime, even in the few cases
where there might be no ideological incompatibility involved.
As examples of this treatment I may mention the constant spying on board
by members of the "G-2". For some reason, the "G-2" man on board is usually the
radio and telegraph operator. In the "Aracelio" we had one by the name of Eduar
do Sánchez who was a notorious spy. Aboard we had another man called Manuel Rda
Rodriguez who was imposed as the Fourth Engineer, even though he had no training
or ability to perform such duties. As Captain of the "Aracelio", I was ordered

by the government shipping concern "Yazbicas" to give Rúa all possible cooperat
ion in the fulfillment of his functions. Rda then came to see me and asked,
among other things, that I surrender to him the incoming and outgoing mail of
certain specific crewmen who were suspected of being against the government.
Another instance of 111-treatment which Cuban seamen resent is the discrimi
nation to which we are subject by the Cuban Customs as compared to the prefers ==
tial treatment they accord to foreign sailors, particularly those from behind
the iron curtain. Most everything we tring from abroad to alleviate the scarcity
suffered by our families is confiscated at the Customs House.
Still other reasons for disgust are the rany cuts and discounts made from our
already low pay and, very especially, the ridiculously low amount of foreign cur
rency that we are allowed when we sail atroad. For spending money in foreign.
ports, all we get in local currency is the equivalent of $5 per week which, of
course, are deducted from our basic salaries. In applying this restriction, no
distinction is made between the creuren or the various officer ranks. It is $5
for everyone.
Because of all this, and because of the terrible conditions under which
Communism keeps our homeland, most Cutan sailors and officers are staunch anti-
Communists. The Government knows this, but nevertheless they must employ what
they call "the reactionaries" because of the scarcity of other trained personnel
to man Cuban boats. Their only choice is to spy on us constantly, as I have
just explained.

As to the operating conditions of the Cuban merchant fleet, it is worth
mentioning that Polish ships, which make yp a sizable proportion of Cuban ship-
ping, are supplied with Soviet-made equipment which the Russians have long dis-
carded as obsolete. Again, my own ship is an example. The "Aracelio" was com-
pleted as recently as 1963 in a Polish shipyard. Yet, its radar equipment is so
obsolete that it is simply not used, since we could never find the parts to re-
pair it when it broke. A German technician told my Chief Mate here that it must
have been a World-War II unit.
Excessive bureaucratic red tape and disorganization is another serious
problem confronted by Cuban shipping and which often results in considersible
damage to those firms that trade with the Castro tyranny. I will illustrate
this. The Cuban government agency responsible for arranging maritime transpor-
tation for merchandise bought abroad is the "Empresa Cubana de Fletes" (CUFLET).
:

14-00000
3-
The government purchasing organization buys merchandise from foreign companios,
but fails to inform CUFLET of the date on which the cargo is to be loaded. All
attempts to establish this are to no avail. Then one day the buying agency
serves last-minute notice that the merchandise will be ready for loading.
CUFLET takes pains to find a vessel in time but, more often than not, its hasty
efforts are in vain. In the meantime, the seller abroad grows impatient, as he
has long fulfilled his part of the doal and must continue to pay warehouse costs
because of a delay that is no fault of his.
This happens all the time, to the extent that many foreign firms refuse to
deal with such an undependable customer as the Cuban government, or, foroseeing
the damages they may come to them because of such inefficiency they impose the
harshest solling terms.
The unrest and chaos that I have described is not peculiar to the merchant
fleet. I do not know many details about this because I have been out at sea most
of the time since I first heard of it, but I understand that the Cuban Navy was
also in such turmoil that practically all its officers were discharged early this
fall. It is said that some of the dismissed naval officers were assigned to the
merchant marine, and my men and I know a few instances. It is even true that
Army officers with no naval experience are being appointed to high naval posi-
tions. However, it is most likely that many of the purged officers will have
been shot or imprisoned. Such is the Cuba of today.
Lastly, we wish to emphasize that our decision to scek asylum in the United
States, has been made of our own free will. No have been pressured into this deci
sion by no one. Our consciences no longer permit us to serve the cause of a Com
munist Cuba. Like hundreds of Cubans before us, we who love Cuba deeply cannot
longer endure the tyranny with which she is afflicted.
We appreciate with all our heart the help received from UNIDAD REVOLUCINARIA
and we also wish to thank the gentlemen of the Press assembled here, for the at-
tention given us.

benevolent as to overlook the fact that the insult is roally coming from the

We, as losterners of liediterranean origin, have alımys felt somewhat a.
kin to the Gron: people, whom we also addre as the diront doscaniants of the

that the past coverment of your country placed the porconal friendship of
two gangstars —Galbe and Andreas Papandreou above the age-old dignity of
the Hellenio nation. And we are anddened even more than those actions are .
described in detail in the press.
On the other hand, our insistence on the subjent, comofiat unorthodox as
it may be from the protocol standpoint, is definitely inspired by the friend.

Another Castreito affront to a Western European nation in which Galbe
was instrr:antall
Lastly, we ideh to call your attention on the fact that the more
decent and stablo of Cuba's diplomatic representatives have shown that
they cannot steri Cantro's monkery of diplomacy and international law,
As exxyles, wa nan cite the very recent defections of Years, Luis
R. Alonzo rombies, Orban Arbassador to Great Britaint Alberto Alema.
my Vilar, sanomic Counselor of the Cuban Embnegy in Innant coón Alva ..
res de la Campa, Ebonomic Counselor of the Cuban Pribasay in maint and
Alberto Cabra Infante, Reonomic Attaché of the Orban bay in Spain.
Individually and collectively, the decent peoples of the world are
disassociating themselves from the inferry of Castroim. Just now, the
cream of Oha's own population professional non, lusinosem, intelleg
tnalo, of is about to join the sopent part of the greatest mass cros
dus recorded by History sinne World War II.
Let us namme that the fast that a given régizo la airduress and
totalitarian were not an enough for the nation with the oldest dang
cratio traMon to bronk all ties with it. By any standard, Calbe's
prepostarmus behaviour at Thomopilas 1g more than recoon enough, And
his contiming affronts to the Greek people give even more Pouson,
confident that this time, our advice, which is the advice
of relief End affsation, will not go unheeded. .
Sincerely yours,

ABSTRACT
MICROFILM
As Headquarters is aware, JMWAVE is refuting on a con-
tinuing basis and via all appropriate assets commentaries
similar to that discussed in the reference. As for this
particular GOMEZ broadcast the Station prepared a guidance
for AMSCROLL use, primarily its radio, the point of which
was that GOMEZ had become eligible for the "Foot 'n Mouth
Club" due his admission on 21 October that Camarioca was a
plebiscite and his statement on 22 October, no doubt as a
result of a prod from his Communist superiors that "I think
I made excessive concessions ..." explaining that the people
are really leaving due to economic reasons. We agree and
say that the economic reasons are to obtain three meals a
day, to be able to walk into a market and buy eggs and milk.
The guidance ends with this: "You may take your foot out of
your mouth now, GOMEZ".

ABSTRACT
MICROFILM
1. We forward under separate cover subject publication which was
recently sent to AMSCROLL mail recipients interested in economic
material. In producing this study a particular effort was made to
keep it objective and factual on the theory that in the case of sugar
the facts speak for themselves and need only to be pulled together.
We also believe that objective material similar to the attached should
over a period of time enhance the reputation of the AMSCROLL economic
section as a serious and objective outfit that seeks to discredit the
Castro regime by publicizing the truth.
2. The Station would appreciate Headquarters' reaction to this
publication. Additional copies are available should distribution via
KMFORGET or other means be desired.
3. It may be of interest to report that a copy of the attached
report has been mailed to Identity, currently in Geneva where he is
representing his company at the sugar conference. This was done
directly under the AMSCROLL economic section letterhead and via
AMWORD-1's brother, an employee in the research department of
Identity's company.

ABSTRACT
MUDOFILM
1. We forward by separate cover the article described in the
references. It is the first item in the AMSCROLL economic report
which can and should be attributed to AMSCROLL research.
It may
be of interest to record that the first paragraph of this item was
developed from 0/27839-65 of 17 September as authorized by reference B.
The second paragraph was developed from a lead obtained from 0/27842-65
of 22 September which sent us to two publications by Merrill Lynch,
Pierce, Fenner and Smith. The last sentence of paragraph 3 was
developed from information in the Wall Street Journal of 22 and 28
September.
2. The Station of course will be interested in any replay
generated by Hoadquarters via AMPATRIN-1 or other asset.

1.- Cuba continues desperate attempts sell sugar.- The Cuban sugar monopoly, CUBA-
ZUCAR, on September 6 concluded a sale of 5,000 tons of raw sugar for October 1965
delivery to the Iranian sugar organization. The origin of this sugar was hidden in
that it was declared to have originated in the Caribbean, including Peru, excluding
Brazil. Market reports were correct in stating that the country of origin was in
fact Cuba. The price agreed to was 18 pounds sterling per ton (C and F) less 5
shillings per ton to cover the expenses of the tender. This deal was engineered by
Westzucker of Dortmund, an organization also selling Cuban sugar to Jordan and which
wishes to keep its name out of these sales.
-
Another interesting development in Cuba's sugar selling activities during the month
of September was quoting sugar for future delivery at or under the London spot
price on the day the offer was made. In other words, Cuba is offering sugar under
the world market value.
Example of this were:

It is difficult to explain this curious behavior in terms other than Cuba's desper-
ate need for foreign exchange. These sales at these prices can only result in a
net loss to Cuba due to Cuba's inefficient sugar production. This loss will be com
pounded should the present upward trend of world sugar futures continue (the New
York price for world sugar on Caribbean port basis has gone from $1.60 on September
1 to $2.10 on September 27).
2.- Free World Shipping drops 51%.- Twenty Western vessels called on Red Cuban ports
during the past month of August. The trend continues downward; the August 1963 to
tal was 24, and the one for August 1964 was 41, which means a decrease of 51%, when
August 1965 (20 vessels) is compared to August 1964.
Great Britain led the "maritime fifth columnists" with 11 vessels, followed by Leb-
anon, Greece, France, and Italy with 2 vessels each, and Cyprus with one.
Already 852 vessels are being kept out of the Red Cuba trade by its owners or opera
The most recent example is "Rederiaktiebolaget Saly" of Mariehamm, Finland,

which firm withdrew 11,691-ton tanker, VALNY, and the other vessels it owns and/or
operates.
3.- "Tsavliris" privateers exposed.- TSAVLIRIS shipping firm, operating out of Lon
don and Piraeus, under the names of "Tsavliris Shipping", "Tsavliris Hellas Mari---
time", "Pancristo Shipping", "Waterloo Shipping", and "Trafalgar Shipping" is very
active in business with the Castro-Communist regime,
The
From a total of 17 vessels, TSAVLIRIS has been using 12 in the Red Cuba trade.
12 vessels are: FREE ENTERPRISE, FREE MERCHANT, NEW FOREST, NEW GATE, NEW GROVE,
NEW GLADE, NE. HEATH, NEW HILL, NEW LANE, NEW MEADOW, MUSWELL HILL, CLAIRE, FREE
TRADER, and FREE NAVIGATOR. TS.VLIRIS operates its vessels under British, Lebanese
or Haitian flags, this last action being illegal according to a July 6, 1965 Haitian
law. The FREE NAVIGATOR has changed its name seven times. The NEW HEATH has deliy
ered two shipments of Cuban sugar to Japan, which have not been accepted by Japanese
refineries, because stain and rust from vessel's hold has spoiled cargo. In mid-
hugust the Lebarise 7,260 ton SAN SPYRIDON had arrived in the United Kingdom with
1,600 tons of Cuban sugar spoiled by sea water.
TSAVILIRIS' vessels have made 50 trips to Red Cuba during the last two years.
4.- Cuban Management Boycott Committee receives support.- Reports reaching this
bureau indicate that the Cuban Management Boycott Committee has already received
several letters support from Free World Chambers of Commerce. Details are expected
to be known shortly.
5.- Free World dockworkers' boycott to receive boost.- The announcement of a Conti
nental Dockworkers Congress to be held in Venezuela during the first two weeks of -
October confirm last month's report that an increase in boycott activities against

.- Japanese Trade Mission gets "chilly" reception in Latin America due to Red Cuba
deals.- A Japanese Trade Mission, headed by fir. Kazue Kitagawa, President of "Sumi.
tomo Electrical Industries" came under fire while touring Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil,
Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, and Peru. Latin Americans brought up matter that Japan
was indirectly financing subversion by providing Castro with an average of $1 mil--
lion dollars a month for the last 4 years. Japanese were told to choose between the
Red Cuban market and the Latin American market.
Some examples follow: article by L. Rojas Ospina ir. "Excelsior", Mexico, Sep. 4,
1965; in Brazil, a speech by Congressman Flaviano Riberiro dated Sep. 4, 1965, and
an article by Gustavo Corcao published in "Diario da Noticias", Rio de Janeiro, Sep.
2, 1965 issue, made the headlines. In Lima, Peru, a speech by Congressman Ricardo
Temoche made the local Japanese embassy respond with a vague statement of justifica
tion. In Chile, an editorial of "El Mercurio" stressed this point to Japanese visi
tors.
7.- Cuban exiles block Castro's attempt to sell "treasure".- Cuban exile Committee
for the Recovery of the artistic and Cultural Heritage of their country was able to
block Castro's attempt to sell art works and raise $2 million dollars. Cuban exiles
14-00000
inspected 104 cases containing art treasures during August 23, 24, and 25, in Milan,
Italy, identifying 45 pieces as their own.
Although 103 cases were only worth US$16,000, the contents of case #107 were said.
to be worth US$600,000. The first 103 cases delivered to Castro's "partner" Mah-
mood Mowlazadeh, contained religious and funeral pieces, but case #107, forwarded
from Switzerland, contained solid gold and silver objects.
Italian Customs have impounded Castro's "treasure".
-
8.- Castro's missions abroad "shaky" while rumors plague Island.- After the "defog
tions" of Luis Ricardo Alonso Ambassador to England -, Gilberto R. Alemany -Trade
Councellor in Japan-, and several members of the Cuban "Music Hall" playing in Pa--
ris, the regime recalled its Ambassador to Prague, Armando Flores Ibarra, and the
following members of the Cuban Embassy in London: Maria Fernandez, Osmani Martines
Vazquez, Moises Dias, Mario Garcia, and Armando Lobeto.
-
Meanwhile, different rumors plagued Quba (many of them stemming from official state
ments): attempts on Castro's life, internal dissention resulting from the "ultima--
tum" given to militiamen to return weapons; new boatloads of Cuban refugees arriving
to Floridian shores; and Security Police Chief Valdes' statements zeroing-in`against
"terrorism, sabotage, and resistance".

ACTION REQUIRED: Request comment
We attach herewith a reproduction of an article from the Caracas
newspaper El Universal of 10 September describing the organization
of a committee of European shippers to fight the discrimination
these shippers fancy they suffer in Latin America. We are curious
why such a group should be organized and to what purpose. Could this,
for example, be a reaction to the efforts to boycott ships that trade
with Cuba? The Station will appreciate Headquarters' comment if it
appears that this group may become important and if it is or will be
concerned with attempts to influence shipping to Cuba.

REF.: CONSIDERATIONS OF THE JAPAN-
CUBA TRADE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES
THROUGHOUT LATIN AMERICA. *
1.- INTRODUCTION.-
The Japanoso People, its businessmon, and its government have been able to
ko Japa occupy a loading place among the industrial countries of the Free World.
In 1964, Japan was the leader in Free World shipbuilding, contributing 40% of the
tonnago; in the electronic field, Japan came in second; in steel production and
chemicala, Japan was able to occupy third place; and in automobile production,
1an was fourth, with 1.7 million vehiclos produced.
-O
Ja-
The froo-loving and democratic-oriented Cuban Poople are sympathetic with this
effort the Japanese People are making; an effort which is well known and admired
throughout the whole world. At the same time, the free-loving and democratic-ori-
ented Cuban People -the ones within Cuba, and the ones living in exile- are aston--
iched to watch Japan very much involved in trade relations with Communist Cuba, al-
though Japan is aware that by so doing it is directly aiding a tyranny, and at the
De tiom, providing this regimo with the necessary funds to subvert its neighbors
throughout Latin America.
-
are
It should be pointed out that Japan, based on its concern for human rights
could very well consider that its present trade relations with Communist Cuba
completely negative, but this is not the only reason. Japan must be aware, that.
its trado rolations with Communist Cuba will eventually, in a very near future,
jeopardizo Japan's trade relations with Latin America, and this is already begin--
ning to happen.
II. JAPAN-COMMUNIST CUBA TRADE RELATIONS.-
A.- Trade Balance.
Japan has always had a deficit in its trade balance with Cuba, 1.8., not
only in its prosent trade relations, but also during its trade prior to the estab-
lichment of the Castro-Communist regimo.

B.- Japan provides Castro of hard currency.
It is estimated that Japan provides Castro with 30% of its hard currency,
due to the proviously mentioned fact of a deficit in its trade balance with Cuba.
The hard currency has averaged during the last four years the amount of US$1 mil---
lion a month, in the following manner (ostimates):
US$ 14 million
19621
1963:
19641
19651
12 million
8 million
14 million
Total: US$ 48 million.
The hard currency is used by Castro for two thingss
1.- Finance subversivo activities throughout Latin America.
2. Pay short torn credits in Euroroon marketa, thus remaining in
business with countries other than Japan.
C.- Japan is leading buyor of Cuban supar.-
Japan, together with Spain and Morocco, is one of the three loading Froo
World buyers of Cuban sugar, although Japan is the country that has become Castro's
main source of foreign exchange.
!
!
1.- Cuban sugar purchased.
1959:
397,047 Ton.
1960s
210,272
1961:
325,539
1962:
522,727
2,699 Ton. (rofinod)
15,148
19631
163,662
1964:
328,609
1965:
300,000
(estimate)
2.- Japanese firms involved:
The leading buyers of Cuban sugar are:
Iwai & Co., Ltd.
Toyo Monka Kaiaha, Ltd.
Kanematsu & Co., Ltd.
Meiji Trading Co., Ltd.
Okura Trading Co., Ltd.
Nozaki & Co., Ltd.
Sumitomo
Nichimen Co., Ltd.
O ME
14-00000
D.- Other trudo oporations.
Besides the said sugar purchases, Japan is very active in its trado rela-
tions with Communist Cuba; trado rolations that totaled US$ 87 million for 1964,
which roprocented an increase of 240% over 1963.
Just to mention a few examplos, the names of some of the other Japanese
firms actively involved in trade operations with Communist Cuba follows
Mitouis through its "dummy", the Toho Bussan Kaisha.
C. Itoh: through its "dummy" the Kyodo Trading Co., Ltd.
Oki Electrics until recently through Mitsubishi Shoji Kaisha's "dummy",
tho Moiwa Trading.
Toyo Rayon
Hitachi
Yawata Iron
Toyo Monka Kaisha: through the "dummy" Abe Trading Co., Ltd.
III.- JAPAN-LATIN AMERICA RELATIONS.-
A.- Japan's economic and trade interests in Latin America.
1.- Jupan has 77% of its foreign investment placed in Latin America.
2.- Proof of Japan's increasing interest in Latin Amorica has been the
visit of two Japanese Trade Missions to this Homisphere in less than one year
(arch and September 1965).
3.- Japan has a deficit in its trade balance with Latin America, and al-
though the trado volume with Latin America omounted to US$ 433.4 million for the.-
riod January-July 1964, Japan lost UCS 174.8 million for mentioned period due to
the deficit in its trado balance:
Jan-Jul. 1964: Japan exports: US$ 179.3 million
Jan-Jul. 1964: Japan imports: US3 354.1 million
Jan-Jul. 1964: Deficit for Japan in its trade balance: US$ 174.8 million
4.
Breaking down Japan's trade balance with each Latin American country
the results are the following:
a.- Favorable trade balances: 8
Bolivia
Brazil
Colombia
Costa Rica
Dominican Republic
Honduras
Panamá
Vonezuela
i
:
}
14-00000
b. Unfavorable trade balancess 11
Argentina
Chile
Zcuador
El Salvador
Guatemala
Halti
Pexico
Nicaragua
Paraguay
1
Peru
Uruguay
5. The economic analyst has to conclude that the deficit in its overall
trade balance plus the importance of Latin America with regards to Japan'a foreign
investment will make Japan increase its interest in this Homisphoro.
B.- Consequencen of the Japan-Comunist Cuba trade throughout Latin America.
The consequences of the Japar-Communist Cuba trade are beginning to be
felt throughout Latin America, due to maintained "agit-prop" and subversive activ-
ities by the Castro regime, financed, partially, with foreign exchange resulting
from its trade with Japan.
A highly illustrative example is the case of Venezuola.
1.- Venezuela: Trade Relations with Japan ard Communist attacks.
a.- Japan was able to obtain US 133.5 million for the period 1958-
1963 from its favorable trade balance with Venezuela. The favorable result in tho
trade balance for the Jan-Jul 1964 period totaled USG 12.4 million.
Recently, C. ITOH and HITACHI closed important agreements with
the Venezuelan Phone Co., and C. ITOH was able to get an important contract with
"Corporation Venezolana de Petróleo".
b. On the other hand, Venezuela is considered by all experts as a
price target of Communism. The important arms caché discovered in Paraguana to--
wards the end of 1963, prompt the Venezuelan government to accuse the Castro-Com-
munist regime during the IX Meeting of Foreign Affairs Ministers of the Americas,
on July 26, 1964. Since this incident, mazerous subversive activities have caused
great loses to both the People and the government of Venezuela, and to foreign
firms as well.
1736
Less than a month ago, another important arms cacho was discoy-
ered in Los Teques, Miranda State; and once more the hard of Castro-Communism
traced and found.
c. Then, when the situation is fully analyzed, it is a fact that --
Venezuelan hard currency goes to Japan, and from there it goes to Castro, in order
14-00000
to aid terrorism against the Venezuelan People, the democratic government, its
businessmen, and even Japanese interests in that country. Isn't this a completo
ilogic operation?
2.- The Organization of American States (015).
--
On July 26, 1964, tho OAS, during the IX Meeting of Foreign Affnira
Ministers of the Amoricas, hold in Washington, D.C., condemned the Castro-Conru-
nist rogimo and requested from its member-countries, and from all free world coun-
tries outside the Hemisphere, to cease diplomatic and trado relations with Cuba.
3.- The Inter-American Workers Orenniantion (ORIT).
}
During its VI Continental Congress, held in Moxico City, on February
6, 1965, recommended the maritimo boycott which was already in progress under the
leadership of the Vonozuolan dockworkers.
Rocontly, after 17 vessels have suffered the boycott, a statoment.,
made by international labor leaders during the IV Congress of Venozuelan Dockwork-
ers, held in Caracas from October 9 to October 13, 1965, reaffirmed the boycott.
Japanese vescola have been boycotted due to this defensive measure of the workers
of this Homisphere.
4.- The Management Boycott.
The Chamber of Commerce of the Americas, during its XV Annual Conven-
tion hold in Miami, Fla., U.S.A., adopted a resolution on June 16, 1965, along the
same lines of the OAS and ORIT recommendations. Since then, a Management Boycott
Committee has been formed, and already about three dozens of Latin American Cham-
bers of commerce support this campaign.
5.- Public Opinion.
The Japanese Trade Mission that toured Latin America left behind the
following reaction:
a.- Moxico: Article "América Latina, Japón y Castro" by doctor Leo- .
poldo Rojas Ospiña, published by "Excelsior" on September 4, 1965.
b.- Brazil: Article "Japan Halps Fidel Castro" by Gustavo Corcao,
published by "Diario de Noticias", on September 2, 1965.
Article "Japan and Latin America" by Mircea Buescu, published by
Diaric de Noticias", on September 9, 1965.
c.- Peru: Congressman Ricardo Temache Benitez pointed out Japan's t-
titude, due to its trade relations with Communist Cuba during a speech made in Con
gress on September 1st., 1965. Congressman Temocho's statements received ample
coverage in the local press and were object of an "Agence France Presse" wiro.
d.- Chile: The leading "El Mercurio" newspaper devoted one of its
editorial articles during September 1965 to point out the same thing.
14-00000
c.- Colombia: Mr. José R. Mercado, Procident of the Confederation of
Colombian Workers (CTC) delivered a memorandum to His Excellency the Japaneco Amb-
sador to Colombia, dated October 29, 1965 on the same subject.
IV.
An increase of this reaction may be expected.
CONCLUSIONS AND SUGGESTIONS.-
A.- Conclusions:
1.- Japan is presently aiding Castro-Communism.
2.- Japan is highly dependent of Latin Amorica in order to achieve further
economic prosperity.
3. The Japan-Communist Cuba trade and the Japan-Latin America trade are
✓ in contradiction.
4.- Japan may suffer considerable losses in its Latin American markets if
trade relations with Communist Cuba continue.
B.-
Suggestions:
1. The benefits derived from Cuban sugar purchases are no longer availa-
ble to Japan, because, due to the drop of prices in the World Sugar Market, Castro
cannot continue to give firms privileges that resulted of high prices, with enough
margin to maneuver and still receive benefits. After prices hitting a post-World
Mar II low, Castro has no margin for those oporations.
2. Japan could very well substitute its purchases of Cuban sugar by in-
creasing its purchases to Taiwan and Australia, and even better, to Latin American
countries like Brazil, the Dominican Republic, and Peru, as it used to do previous
to the concentration of dealings with Castro-Communism. Purchasing more sugar from
democratic Latin American would improve Japan's image and at the same time it would
eliminate its present trade dangers due to its dealings with Cuba.

U.R. LETTER TO GREEK GOVERNMENT URGES GALBE OUSTER
Cases of real diplomats Alemany and Alon
30 cited as contrast to preposterous be-
haviour of the gangster Galbe.-
Here is text of letter sent to the Foreign Affairs and Interior hi
nisters of Greece:
Excellency:
--
-
"You may recall that, in mid-May this year, the Communist Cuban
Charge d'Affaires in Athens, Jose Luis Galbe, was the object of world
attention after he shot a Greek bus driver over a trivial traffic argu-
ment near the town of Thermopylae. Newspapers throughout the world car
ried the story and it would not be exaggerated to label the incident as
an international scandal -one which may be said to have damaged Hellen-
ic dignity to the same extent to which the Castro regime ignores it by
accrediting gangsters such as Galbe as its diplomatic representatives
before the Greek people."
-.
"On that occasion, we wrote the Greek government calling their at-
tention to the need to save the honor of Greece by severing all ties --
diplomatic and commercial-- with the Red government of Cuba. At that -
time, we warned that the gangster Galbe was typical of the new promotion
of Red Cuban "diplomats" --mostly undesirable Communists trained to per
form tasks of espionage and agitation-- and substantiated our assertion
with a quote from Odon Alvarez de la Campa, a defecting Cuban diplomat-
who had charged Galbe by name during a press conference in Madrid.”
"Today, two new defections from the Cuban Foreign Service prompt us
to re-open the Galbe case. We refer to those of Mssrs. Gilberto R. Ale
many Vilar, until recently, Trade Counseler to the Cuban Embassy in To-
kyo and Luis Ricardo Alonso Fernandez, until recently, Cuban Ambassador
to Great Britain.
-
"Both former diplomats had always been regarded as competent, seri
ous men even by us, the relentless opposers of the Castro-Communist ty-
ranny. Before he took office as Cuban Ambassador to the United Kingdom
in 1963, Luis R. Alonso Fernandes had also performed ambassadorial du
ties in Peru and Norway. A scholarly, well-mannered man, he is well re
membered by all who knew him in his diplomatic office, even if they may
have disapproved of the totalitarian regime that he represented. Even-
tually, he became disenchanted with Communism and publicly resigned his
post in London only a few days ago. (In connection with Mr. Alonso's re
signation, the Greek newspaper "Tradyni", in its September 6 issue, won
ders precisely why Red Cuban Ambassador Galbe has not been ousted yet)."
"Gilberto R. Alemany, an equally able and well-bred trade specia
list, held his Counselor's position for three years in Tokyo. His re
cognition of the 
true nature of the Red Cuban government led him to de-
fect secretly and become our own secret agent in Japan. Late last mon-
th, after fulfilling his dangerous mission, he made his feelings public
in Miami."
"As you can see, those decent people, who are still active in Cas-
tro's diplomatic corps cannot stand it for a long time. These new de-
fections show that the few that remain are abandoning the sinking ship
to the "new wave" of Castroite diplomats --gangsters, spies and agita-
tors in Galbe's fashion."
"But there is more: shortly after his defection, in an interview '-
with a leading Miami newspaper, br. alemany made statements that con--
firm our assertions to this respect. The following are quotes from
this interview:
"The Fidel Castro government chooses unemployed, uneducated young
men to be trained and assigned to Cuban embassies abroad as spies. The

young spies are given a two-year course at a special Ministry of the In
terior school to get them ready. The Minister of the Interior goes
far as to favor young boys from low social levels to work as agents in-
embassies. He dresses them up, teaches them a few things, gives them a
gun and sends them overseas. The system is diabolic, but it works.
These boys, whom they have made into powerful men, are proving to be
the most fanatical agents. They never defect". "The two-year course
on spying, Alemany said, includes a "little of everything, even elemen-
tary English. The graduates are assigned to Cuban embassies as untitl-
ed attaches"."
-
"Mr. Alemany has further told us his workmates in UNIDAD REVOLUCIO
NARIA, that he has knowledge of the Galbe case, and that he knows the -
Cuban Charge in Athens to be just the type of person of which he speaks
in his interview --a definitely undesirable sort by any standard. He
adds that, while in Japan, Galbe's preposterous behaviour was widely co
mmented within Tokyo diplomatic circles. The unanimous impression was
one of shock and concern, and it was expected that the Greek Government
would react promptly and energetically."
"We all know, Cubans and Greeks alike, that Galbe is no credit to -
the Cuban people and is an insult to the Greek nation. Thus, we write
with the thought that the facts forwarded in this letter will further
unmask Galbe and show what he really is",
Sincerely,

time, we warned that the gangster Galbe was typical of the new promotion
of Red Cuban "diplomats" --mostly undesirable Communists trained to per
form tasks of espionage and agitation-- and substantiated our asserti on
with a quote from Odon Alvarez de la Campa, a defecting Cuban diplomat-
who had charged Galbe by name during a press conference in Madrià."
"Today, two new defections from the Cuban Foreign Service prompt us
to re-open the Galbe case. We refer to those of Mssrs. Gilberto R. Ale
many Vilar, until recently, Trade Counseler to the Cuban Embassy in To-
kyo and Luis Ricardo Alonso Fernandez, until recently, Cuban Ambassador
to Great Britain.
-
"Both former diplomats had always been regarded as competent, seri
ous men even by us, the relentless opposers of the Castro-Communist ty-
ranny. Before he took office as Cuban Ambassador to the United kingdom
in 1963, Luis R. Alonso Fernandez had also performed ambassadorial du
ties in Feru and Norway. A scholarly, well-mannered man, he is well re
membered by all who knew him in his diplomatic office, even if they may
have disapproved of the totalitarian regime that he represented. Even-
tually, he became disenchanted with Communism and publicly resigned his
post in London only a few days ago. (In connection with Mr. Alonso's re
signation, the Greek newspaper "Vradyni", in its September 6 issue, won
ders precisely why Red Cuban Ambassador Galbe has not been ousted yet)."
-
-
"Gilberto R. Alemany, an equally able and well-bred trade specia
list, held his Counselor's position for three years in Tokyo. His re
cognition of the true nature of the Red Cuban government led him to de-
fect secretly and become our own secret agent in Japan. Late last mon-
th, after fulfilling his dangerous mission, he made his feelings public
in Miami."
"As you can see, those decent people, who are still active in Cas-
tro's diplomatic corps cannot stand it for a long time. These new de-
fections show that the few that remain are abandoning the sinking ship
to the "new wave" of Castroite diplomats --gangsters, spies and agita-
tors in Galbe's fashion."
-
"But there is more: shortly after his defection, in an interview
with a leading Miami newspaper, Mr. Alemany made statements that con--
firm our assertions to this respect. The following are quotes from
this interview:
-
"The Fidel Castro government chooses unemployed, uneducated young
men to be trained and assigned to Cuban embassies abroad as spies. The
14-00000
-2-
SO
young spies are given a two-year course at a special Ministry of the In
terior school to get them ready. The Minister of the Interior goes
far as to favor young boys from low social levels to work as agents in-
embassies. He dresses them up, teaches them a few things, gives them a
gun and sends them overseas. The system is diabolic, but it works.
These boys, whom they have made into powerful men, are proving to be
the most fanatical agents. They never defect". "The two-year course
on spying, Alemany said, includes a "little of everything, even elemen-
tary English. The graduates are assigned to Cuban embassies as untitl-
ed attaches"."
"Mr. Alemany has further told us his workmates in UNIDAD REVOLUCIO
NARIA, that he has knowledge of the Galbe case, and that he knows the
Cuban Charge in Athens to be just the type of person of which he speaks
in his interview --a definitely undesirable sort by any standard. He
adds that, while in Japan, Galbe's preposterous behaviour was widely co
mmented within Tokyo diplomatic circles. The unanimous impression was
one of shock and concern, and it was expected that the Greek Government
would react promptly and energetically,"
"We all know, Cubans and Greeks alike, that Galbe is no credit to -
the Cuban people and is an insult to the Greek nation. Thus, we write
with the thought that the facts forwarded in this letter will further
unmask Galbe and show what he really is",
Sincerely,

The Russians are constructing docks, warehouses, freezers, dry
docks, buildings with communication equipment and other necessary ins-
tallations for the operation of a fishing fleet in the east coast of
the port of Havana, according to the Cuban-Soviet agreement of Septem-
ber, 1962.
These constructions are directed and supervised by Soviet techni-
cians with the collaboration of Cuban "slave work". The Soviet Union
furnishes all the necessary equipment and machinery, in addition to --
the above mentioned supervision and technical assistance; Cuba offers
the labor as well as the basic construction materials.
-
It was stipulated that the Soviet Union and Cuba would share in
equal parts this fishing terminal which original cost was $12 million
" pesos" but now it has come up to $30 millions and is expected to be -
finished by the beginning of 1966.
However, it has been learned that due to the large sum owed by
the Castro-Communist regime to the Soviet Union, the Russians have de-
cided that these facilities will be for their exclusive use once they
are concluded.
-
All the fish caught will be taken to this terminal, processed and
exported to the Soviet Union and Europe in Russian vessels, without
any profit for Cuba, nor the Cuban fishing vessels will be allowed to
use said installations.
This area of the east coast of the port of Havana will be closed
as soon as installations are finished and only Soviet personnel will-
have access to that zone.
This absolute control of the Soviets in the same port of Havana-
has led many to think that said installations will not only serve for
operating Soviet trawlers - which activities in espionage, infiltration
C subversive and terrorist agents are well known but that it might
hide military constructions, submarine pens, and other installations
that could threaten the security of the Hemisphere.

BASE "PESQUERA" SOVIETICA EN LA HABANA
UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA (UR) ha podido conocer a través de sus fuentes clandeş
tinas en Cuba los siguientes informes:
Los rusos están construyendo muelles, diques secos, naves refrigeradas, plan
tas de comunicaciones y deras instalaciones necesarias para las operaciones
de una
flota pesquera en la costa este dėl puerto de la Habana, conforme a
lo estipulado en el acuerdo Soviético-Cubano de Septiembro de 1962.
Estas construcciones se llevan a cabo bajo la dirección y supervisión de téc
nicos soviéticos, con la colaboración de "trabajo esclavo" cubano. La Unión
Soviética facilita todos los equipos y maquinarias, además de la mencionada
supervisión y asistencia técnicas, y Cuba pone la arena, piedras y materia-
les básicos de construcción, aparte de la mano de obra.
辈
Se habia estipulado que la Unión Soviética y Cuba usufructuasen a partes
iguales esta terminal pesquera de vastas proporciones, cuyo costo original
era de $12 millones de "pesos", pero que ya asciende a $30 millones y que se
espera estará terminada para principios de 1966.
Sin embargo, se ha podido conocer que debido a la cuantiosa suma que el régi
men Castro-Comuniste adeuda a la Unión Soviética, los rusos han determinado
cue estas instalaciones serán para su uso exclusivo una vez terminadas.
Toda la pesca será llevada a esta terminal, procesada y exportada para la
Unión Soviética y Europa en mercantes rusos, sir que se derive provecho algu
no para Cuba y sin que los pesqueros cubanos puedan hacer uso de dichas ins-
talaciones.
Esta área en la costa este del puerto de La Habana será cerrada en cuanto se
terminen las instalaciones y sólo el personal soviético tendrá acceso a esta
zona.
Este control absoluto soviético en el propio puerto de La Habana ha hecho
pensar a muchos que dichas instalaciones no sólo servirán para las operacio-
nes de los "pesqueros" rusos -cuyas actividades de espionaje, infiltración
de apentes subversivos y terroristas son harto conocidas- sino que pueden es
conder construcciones militares, bases para submarinos y otras instalaciones
que amenacen la seguridad del Hemisferio.

ABSTRACT
MICROFILM
1. Forwarded under soparate cover is a copy of a letter received
by AMSCROLL from an individual who claims 
to be a reporter for Nation,
and who says that he is planning to visit 
New York and Miami in the
near future. He expresses cympathy 
with the cause of Cuban freedom
,
based on his following of the 
AMSCROLL publicity in the Galbo affair
,
and asks to meet AMSCROLL principals 
to work out some ideas presumably
for a subsequent anti-Castro 
campaign.
2. Please advise if you have any specific operational interest
in this individual, or if you have 
any preferences in the matter of
AMSCROLL's dealing with him. 1 AMSCROLL 
is replying with thanks for 
the
Criter's interest and with anticipation 
of future close and friendly
cooperation.

1. During the reporting period AMSCROLL continued to function as
Station JMWAVE's MHVIPER action and propaganda vehicle, Toward the
end of March AMSCROLL also assumed the bulk of the heirloom operation
which is now being taken over by a separate committee. Some of the
more significant activities, which have boon covered in other
correspondence, were "black list" letters to specific firms in Japan
and Greece, sont at the behest of and according to guidance from
Tokyo and Athons Stations, AMBLEAK-1's "truth squad" tactics against
the Japanese trade mission touring Latin Amorica and the initiation
of regular reports to Spanish officials, in a list provided by Madrid
Station, on the anti-Spanish contents of broadcasts from Havana by the
Cuban-Spanish Friendship Association.
2. Although there were some petty disagreements among AMSCROLL
personnel, reported in detail by our unilateral penetration, AMFRAME-1,
there was relative calm during the period, and occasional manifestations
of esprit de corps were noted in AMSCROLL despite the general flagging
of morale in the exile community at large.
3. The only change in the AMSCROLL executive committee took
effect in March when the Secretary of Finance, Identity, resigned to
take a position in an Ecuadorian commercial firm. Other personnel
changes were made with only minor significance.
B.
PRODUCTION
4. Propaganda to Cuba (samples in Attachment 2) included the pony-
sized monthly bulletin; a leaflet on personal security, this being a
new issue showing that the greatest danger to self and family is to do
nothing while Castro-Communism tightens its grip on the whole of Cuban

society; "handwritten" cover letters, which are actually printed script
to make the propaganda envelopes appear to contain personal letters
when put to the light test by censors; and receipt acknowledgement forms
a simple slip of paper now attached to all propaganda mailings
requesting the recipient to send the form back to AMSCROLL's post office
bex, or to any other address in the free world for forwarding to
AMSCROLL, as a check on how much propaganda is getting through. During
the period AMSCROLL sent out 58,000 envelopes containing 130,000 items.
5. To Latin America primarily, with a scattering of items to
Europe, Asin and the United States, AMSCROLL sent out 30,000 items
indluding its tabloid house organ (which is now cut down to 4 pages
from its former 8, and is published only once a month instead of twice),
several booklets reprinted by continued request of correspondents (one
of the largest orders having come from Dominican General Wessin y Wessin
shortly before the rebellion) and a map showing training sites in Cuba
for Latin Amorican guerrillas (samples in Attachment 3).
6. News releases were issued on a number of current topics,
AMSCROLL as usual taking the economic warfare angle on the news of the
day as it effected Cuba. The 17 releases of this period were sent to
newspapers, wire services, magazines, radio and TV stations throughout
the free world in approximately 350 copies each. The local public
media made use of approximately 65% of AMSCROLL's press releases.
Although occasional indications are received that AMSCROLL materials
are used in other nowspaper and magazine articles, radio programs and
the like, there is no way of making a good estimate of the amount of
such replay. Among the more important titlos were the following
(copies in Attachment 4):

Cuban Trafic

g.' Castro Auctioning Heirlooms Taken from Fleeing Refugees
Other political action and propaganda moves noted in paragraph
1, above, were reported separately in detail, and a full set of
"black list" correspondence was forwarded to Headquarters in UFGA 21616
with a request for any further MHVIPER lends which might contribute to
the further effectiveness of this campaign.
8. AMSCROLL radio programs, 15 minutes daily over both WMIE and
AMTHIGH, carried much the same themes as the AMSCROLL press releases,
but with adjustments as necessary for the Cuban audience, e.g., while
AMSCROLL press releases might complain about continued free-world
trade with and shipping to Cuba, the radio program would emphasize any
decreases in the number of ships.
9, Reactions to AMSCROLL propaganda continue to arrive from Cuba,
but at a slow pace. The 24 letters received during the past period
contained 7 newspaper clippings and three pages torn from telephone
books, as requested in AMSCROLL radio programs. Nine of the letters
mentioned the AMTHIGH broadcasts, one noted receipt of the pony-sized
bulletin and two remitted the small acknowledgement forms which accompany
all AMSCROLL propaganda mailed into Cuba. Detailed statistics on these
are submitted in a separate report from JMWAVE.

FYI
Under separate cover is the latest AMSCROLL propaganda item in
support of the MIVIPER program. It exploits an actual case of a firm
which literally laughed in the face of AMSCROLL protestations, and
shortly thereafter foll afoul of ODMARK with the result that it lost
its import-export license. AMSCROLL reproduced the pertinent correspond-
ence in sequence with the comment that this is one of several things
which can happen to those who trade with Communist Cuba.

this is one of several
things that can happen
UNIDAD REVOLUCIONARIA continues
its 
research 
in reference to the firms that
are still trading with Communist Cuba. We
are making a thorough investigation in
order to 
avoid mistakes, but as soon as
completed
, the "Black List" will be
published 
and distributed throughout the
Free World.
Many firms have already realized what
trading 
with 
Communist Cuba means, and
have also 
taken into consideration Cuba's
credit 
unworthiness ONE BILLION
DOLLARS of foreign debt. Therefore,
these firms 
have backed away from this
shameful and 
riskful market.
Besides, the people of the Countries
of 
the 
Free World are sympathetic with
our 
cause; take as an example the boycott
started 
by the Venezuelan Federation of
dockworkers in accordance with the first
resolution of the "Fifth Congress of
Venezuelan 
Workers", labor unions of
other 
nations have already followed suit.
Or take the case of Mr. Shepherd, from
Great Britian, which is illustrated in this
pamphlet.

CAMECROLL Progress Report, December 1964
ACTION REQUIRED NUMRINCES
ACTION REQUIRED:
FYI
REFERENCE: UFGA 19181, dated 21 December 1964
A. OPERATIONAL
1. During December there was considerable pressure on AMSCROLL
to join political groupings being formed by ex-Presidents Urrutia
and Prio. Fortunately, AMSCROLL was able to stay out of both without
incurring the wrath of either.
B.
PRODUCTION
2. Although a number of new propaganda ideas were submitted by
AMSCROLL for approval, the only new item for Cuban consumption
actually printed during the month was the pony bulletin. This and
other items already on hand, including 5,000 Christmas cards, totalled
47,000 pieces which were sent in 20,000 covers to Cuba. Another
10,000 items were distributed to Latin America and Spain, and 13,700
to addressees in the U. S. Most of the two latter categories were
based on requests from religious, social, and civic organizations.
Samples of the items and a breakdown of the actual numbers of each
distributed are in the attached AMSCROLL Propaganda Section report.
3. AMSCROLL broadcasts continued as scheduled. Chief among the
themes, which also pervaded the two issues of the AMSCROLL house organ
published during the month and the above-mentioned pony bulletin for
Cuba, were as follows:
a. The Congo in lurid detail with outrage at the Communist
hand behind the atrocities, and with scorn for the so-called neutralists
for their attitude for the rescue mission. ANSCROLL editoralized that
except for the canibalism, Congo tactics including ravage and wanton
murder are what brought Stalin, Tito, Mao, and Fidel to power.

b. AMSCROLL optimistically sees the start of a counter offen-
sive against the rampages of Communism in Latin America. Examples
cited were Castello Branco's action in Goaiz Province, Brazil;
Venezuelan Army operations in the Andes; Panamanian preparations to
control agitation on the anniversary of the Canal riots; Argentine
Foreign Minister Zavala's public denunciation of Soviet colonialism
in Cuba; Jagan's defent at the polls in Guiana; and "Operation
Ayacucho,' a seven-nation military maneuver against an "imaginary •
target which has Latin American Communists screaming "foul!"
C.
"Che" Guevara's statements before the UN and during his
television interview contrasted with quotations from previous speeches,
especially his current whining for trade openings with the U. S. as
opposed to past claims that U. S. sugar purchases kept Cuba in a state
of colonialism. Much was mado of the remark of the Nicaraguan dele-
gate to the UN that Guevara's address on behalf of Cuba was a Russian
speech with an Argentino accent. It was also noted that "Che", admitted
Cuba's support of the terrorism in Venezuela.
d. Cuba's worsening economic situation was, as heretofore, a
constant theme. Featured this month wore the obvious failures of the
foraging trips of Carlos Rodriguez and "Cho" Guevara, and a host of
specific examples of material shortages admitted by Cuban public media.
8. The Martinez Sanchez suicide and the lack of precise details,
expecially in its aftermath, got considerable attention in AMSCROLL
propaganda, along with other notes on GOC strife.
f. The Sino-Soviet rift was expected to continue, according to
AMSCROLL, and the situation does not bode well for Castro's relations
with the now Kremlin leaders. Examples taken from press clippings.
8. The CTV boycott against free-world ships trading with Cuba
was favorably noted as another facet of the tightening of the noose
around Fidel's neck.
h. End-of-year broadcasts centered on the decline of Communism
after a half century it still fails to improve the living standards of
the peoples engulfed, but instead increases terror and oppression to
forge the populations into automatons for use in the realization of
its mad dream of world conquest.
4. Among letters received during the month was a request from
Palo Alto, California for a complete set of AMSCROLL publications for
the Hoover Institute's archives on world revolutions.
5. AMFRAME-1, who is now second man in the AMSCROLL Propaganda
Section by dint of his demonstrated imagination and initiative, came
up with a proposal during the month to test reaction to printed
materials being sent to Cuba. Implemented immediately, it consists
of a small coupon which accompanies each item mailed to 15,000
addressees on a rotating basis each month. The total is divided into
four groups for sample purposes, each group being asked to respond to
requests for general, readily available information on the basis of
different stimuli, either to have the respondent's code name announced
over the radio or just listed among the "many" others who are contri-
buting to the effort to overthrow the Castro regime. Theoretically,
the assistance would be more fully acknowledged after the liberation.
On the basis of results achieved during the first few months, the
system will be refined until the most successful method for testing
Cuban audience reaction is found. A report will be submitted when
sufficient returns are in. The AMSCROLL Propaganda Section report,
attached, contains further details and a sample of the coupon.
6. We were pleased to receive EGFA 43043 which credited AMSCROLL
propaganda with a minor MHVIPER score on a West German firm which was
doing business with Cuba. Evidently a number of free-world firms are
disturbed in the same way by AMSCROLL's Mabre-rattling letters on the
possibility of a black list. A report is being prepared analyzing
replies 
from target firms.
