eee SSCIBOX # 377- SECRET RE: FOREIGN POLITICAL MATTERS - CUBA This action, as well as the attack made at the end of last April against this same Cuban refinery by a plane which toox off from North /merican territory, obliges us to accelerate our defense preparations in order to be in a position to intercept and shoot down any war. plane which: | flies over air space at any altitude. , 5. Today the leaders of the counter-revolution have openly proclaimed from North American territory the > carrying out of activities of infiltration and introduction of arms in the country in order to carry out acts of an agaressive character against the Cuban people. These arms and these agents could only come from the United States or other countries near Cuba. This violates international norms. This creates a climate of insecurity in the continent, because only the governments which respect the rights of. other.countries can. demand respect for themselves. These deeds contribute i nothing to the improving of relations between the United States ‘and. Cuba, or to the diminishing of the existing tension or the dangers and aggressions egainst our country which pro- foundly affect world peace. It is lamentable that the Government of Cuba sees the necessity of resending these notes of protest as a consequence of deeds which in any light are arbitrary, irresponsible-and uncontrolled; which have already overwhelmed ‘world opinion; which cannot view without great concern the repeated attacks against Cuba, and which again seriously endanger peace.
