DATE: 41-14-2017 woe ” a + o Cubans consider their first allegiance to Cuba and not to the United States, and always say that no one yet has ever been prosecuted under the United States Neutrality Act. Informant stated that families and friends of the Cuban refugees would never testify against them, and to testify for the Government would cause people to think that person is pro-CASTRO, or a member of the Cuban G-2.¥ u) A review of files of anti-CASTRO organizations reflects that the majority of these groups’ activity is conspiring to violate the Neutrality Act. The majority of these organizations have elaborate plans to attack Cuba, These groups are in frequent contact with Government representatives asking for arms, equipment, and. transporta- tion to facilitate military expeditions. These organizations ; openly solicit funds for these purposes, buy large quantities of equipment from Army-Navy stores, openly buy arms and ammunition, and freely own and use boats in a manner which frequently violates the laws relating to the operation of boats. United States Customs advised that there are nearly 150,000 Cubans in South Florida. There are hundreds of miles of coastline from which these Cubans can leave for the Bahamas, which are only fifty miles away. _ Mr. GREG BENTLEY, British Intelligence, Bahamas, advised that the Bahama Islands cover thousands of square | miles of ocean, that the British have only three patrol boats, and seldom ever patrol the Cay Sal Bank Islands, which are the closest to Cuba. : United States Coast Guard advised they have planes, pe ships, and helicopters, which are in constant patrol in the Lak Bahamas, photograph the boats used by Cuban exiles in the pet cles South Atlantic and Bahamas, but are more interested in «ew ee intelligence than enforcement of the law relating to the,¥<«* Wot equipment used on these boats. | quem .
