Three other countries--~-

luctant to associate themselves

In Chile, the

Argentina, which has been

one of the sharpest critics of

American countries, might be 
willing to support economic

sanctions against Cuba but would 
be reluctant to break diplomat-— 
ic relations for both hemi- 
sphere and internal security 
reasons. The government be- 
Lieves it should maintain a 
listening vost in Cuba, where — 
& number of important Peronista 
leaders reside, 
The Cuban op- 
position léaders have requested 
Argentina to maintain its em- 
bassy 
in order to furnish as- 
sistance to those seeking po- 
litical asylum. 
The foreign

We contirme to believe that Castro's position in

is likely to grow stronger cather than weaker as tine 
goes on, This issue wes the principal concern of SEIE 65-360, 
*Prospects of the Castro Regine,® 8 Decewber 1960, Infornation 
received since then, notably two Jong Enbasey dispatches 
directly bearing on the subject, tends to confirm this view. 
2. In brief, our basic conclusion is that while Castro 
will probebly continue to lose popular support, this loss is 
‘Likely to be more than counterbalanced by the regine's ine 
creasingly effective controls over dsily life in Cuba and by 
the increasing effoctivens:s of its security forces for maine 
taining control, While the regize's enemies are growing in 
numbers, no one group or coubingtion
