The following is a résumé of the political philosophy of Wanuel Artime Buesa, leader of the Movimiento de t Recuperacion Revolucionaria (MRR, Movement for Revolutionary Recovory) as prepared by Source. It is based on statements : made by Artime in his speech on 18 March 1964 to the Associacién para Recuperacidén Econémica de Cuba (AREC, Association for Economic Recovery of Cuba), on his first publication entitied Comunismo por qué? (Communism cor what?), which was written . nine months b eLore Castro came to power, and on Artime’s book Traicién (Betrayal). t i H i | 1. Artime does rot believe in political extremes -~ neither the . - left nor the Fright. He believes that extremes always end by i touching one another. If any extreme gains power in Cuba, 4 and in the case of the extreme right by imposing a dictatorship, he will continue to fight with weapons in hand. Artime does got believe in the classification of men by race, by political ranks in former governments, or by money. He confesses to. being an opportuniat in the sense that he is taking maximum advantage of each opportunity, but not in the sense of changing his beliefs in acnord with opportunities. 2, The main theme of Comunismo por qué? was that more than a change : in government a chringée in the conscience of men is needed, It : outlined the duties of the padr6n (landowner) toward the workers | @o that the latter way live in dignity and honor. The padron : should feel that the problems of his workers are also his problems. The worker, in turn, has certain obligations te the padron. If this puss ee uo ig not adhered to, a (Christian) government has the r o intervene for the common good.

We have to have an . effective democracy in Latin America because the word. pots democracy itn that area has been prostituted too oftesa. i Many countries call themselves democratic but im reality i are nothing but militarist and demagogic, and many Siuply i go through the motions of elections. Many are simply H totalitarian governments which are living off. the blood : and toil of the people. The corrupt politicians, the i strong men, the totalitarians have been the ¢trongest i allies of Communism. Our. fight is not against one man, | 4t is not a war of personal hatred--it is a war against } the doctrine of hatred, be. it called Castro or what have -you--it ig a war against a doctrine; ve are as much opposed te Khrushchev as we are against Tito. We are as much opposed to the totalitarian left as we are opposed to the fascist right. » “We don't care if they call us extremist. They will con- tinue to call us rightist or leftist, fascist, philocom=- munist. I recall the words of Don Quixote when he was passing on the outskirts of a smali town and Sanche said to Don Quixote, ‘Sir, the dogs are barking at us,’ Don Quixote replied, ‘Let them, Sancho, if they are barking itis because we are moving. And we will continue to move.*” c. “They say we are very ambitious. Our ambition is that in the coming days when Cuba is liberated people will pro- - pounce our name with respect in our country." — - "Our men in Cuba are not only fighting for the independence _ . of our country but also for the independence of the American. heniisphere, for the survival of Christian principles in | .4merica, for the Western world.” Artime maintains that... ‘thé situation today is much the way Lenin would have hoped : fox.. Britain and France have recognized Red China; the * U.S. ia at odde with these two governments--this is exactly ‘what Lenin would have wanted, Artine has supported his ‘atatenents, by quoting Lenin, "Within 30 years we will em- . bark on. @ peace ortensive, of coexistence, and we will split the free nations and smash the impoient bourgeois." “The battieegrounc zor Latin America’ lies 20 miles from. “gur shores, Should the Western world lose this battie, the sleeping giant (Latin Anerice) will wake up on the side of the Communist camp. Then it would be preferable to be. dead because the free world will have caased to be.” . “We are-all guilty for having turned aver. Cubs. to the. handa ., @f men who could not govern her properly. .

Charles F. MASENGILL was the primary instructor for this bloc of tra..ning, and he reports that AXMEIDDY-l was a keen student who appreciated the opportunity to learn as much as possible about Clandestine operations. MASENGILL believes that AMBIDDY-1 at the completion of hi: training was prebably weakest on the topic ef how to report intelligence information. co + ©. Resistance Activity and Guerrilla Yerfare: AMBIDDT~-1 received training on @ principles and concepts erent in .- _, OFganizing an infiltration team. In addition, he was trained =. ..-4 “ velative te the principles of organizing a resistance net. — ; Additionally, he was trained in caching, demolition and sabotage techniques. AMBIDDY-1 also. received ingtruction.in the principles: - and concepts of guerrilla warfare. AMBIDDY-1 was also given an . opportunity to familiarize himself, through actual: range firing, with those weapons which are normally used by anti-AMTHUG-1 forces. -Alton T, PIRNACK was the principal instructor for this bloc of - _ training. PIRNACK reports tht AMBIDDY-1 was responsive to the - subject material which was presented to him. AMBIDDY-1 did not hesitate to ask questions. nor to seek clarification of pointe which he did not clearly understand. AMBIDDY-1 did indicate that he was @ neophyte in the subject of PM operations, and, as a result, he was most appreciative of the training which he was receiving on > these subjects. It was evident during this bloc of training that | gaching was an entirely new facet of clandestine operations for 4 ADDY=-1 , . : Se ee “- @. - COMMENT: Phase II of AMBIDDY-lL‘s training concentrated ‘on exposing ANBIDDY-1 to those management techniques and principles ‘which are applicable to @ «zAjor clandestine operation against a target like PBRUMEN, This part of the training was carried out_ exclusively by Andrew K. REUTEMAN and Stanley R. ZAMEA.. In this | > phase of the training, AMBIDDY-1 constantly expressed a great deal , of enthusiasm for the subject material which was being presented. Throughout the training, AMBIDDY-1 gave every. indication that he was absorbing the majc™ portion of the training. At the same », ‘time,+it was clear that he was overwhelmed by. the material and the '. Smplications of what this training meant in terms ofhis conduct in .future operations. After the management phase of AMBIDDY-1's. training was completed, REUTEMAN and ZAMKA reviewed tke 83 hours “""eraining program in its totality with AMBIDDY-1. In addition, the .: program was reviewed with all of the instructors who participated in the:training. As a result. cf this review, a consensus was fyeached that; while AMBIDDY~-1 ‘ig an intelligent anc responsive. student, the training which he received does not qualify him for the position of senior officer in a. major cla:destinue undertaking against PBRUMEN, The training did, however, alert. aMBIDDY-1 to a number of problema and pitfalle which he should avoid in hia. activities.:: This training also provided certain guide posts for AHBIDDY-1, but these guide posts were laid out in such a concentrated dose that they cannot be considered as an adequate substitute. for experience or training in depth over an extended. period. of Rite BEA FO CREM “it RES Ee Wea rpeobety aad s MAUR EES He!
