But Bolivia under its present
regime, and additionally demo-
cratic Costa Rica. both apparently
threatened by the Castro brand of
exportable revolution with an
anti-Yanqui theme, have greater
claims to integrity in the sense
of popular democracy. Thus 1t was
noteworthy that the irate, an

on Nicaragua and Guatemala,
with nary a syllable for other
Latin nations believed to be on
the Castro timetable for revolt.
Yesterday diplomats we're specu-

be advising Mr.. Castro to soften
his attacks on the United States.
1t was being noted that the Castro
press, although blasting away with
Latin fervor at President EiSen-

was having little to say about
President-elect Kennedy.
Additionally, there has been no
mention of Soviet pledges of
rocket and missile support for
Cuba. The Soviet Ambassador to
Cuba, Sergei M. Kudryatsev.

It was the second time in a week

November 10, he pointed out that

Buy American

Another Eisenhower order calls
for a Buy American" policy by
military stores abroad and for
purchases Of foreign aid goods for
shipment to underdeveloped coun-
tries and our allies.
Ironically, this step. while it
will help reduce American spend
ing abroad. will actually increase
Federal OUTLAWS because the Gov
eminent will have to buy - in
many categories = higher-priced
goods here in place Of the less ex-
pensive ones it now is purchasing
abroad.
This is expected to reduce fur
ther the estimated surplus in the
current budget. Last January Mr..
Eisenhower saw surplus of $4.2
billion. Later. the Budget Bureau
scaled this down to Sill billion.
In addition to reducing spend
ing abroad. it is quite apparent
that the United States will have
to double its efforts to keep the
national budget in balance if it
wishes to maintain the confidence
of foreign governments and bank
ers in the dollar.
This would point to an ex-
tremely tight fiscal 1862 budget
as the last one Of the Eisenhower
years. The chances are that
spending will be cut-perhaps
even in the military area-or that
new revenues will be proposed.

A compromise was suggested
Friday by Fulbert Youlou, presi-
dent and chief delegate from the

French colony across the river

Youlou in a moving address
called for "a family council of

In the Congo:
Tense Quiet

Col. Modulus military re-
gime Friday announced the
severance of diplomatic rela-
tions with Ghana.
Relations between the Congo
and Ghana have been broken if
Col. Mobutu is the winner in the
tug-of-war between the rival fac
tions in the new republic. But they
have not been broken if the even
tual winner is Patrice Lumumba.
That was the situation yester-
day as the Ghana foreign office
declared it did not recognize the
announced severance of diploma
tic relations between Accra and
Leopoldville. The Ghana Ambas-
sador to the Congo, Andrew Dim,
is not in Leopoldville, but the
charge d'affaires. Nathaniel We'll
beck, said he would not comply
with Col. Modulus order that he
leave the country.
Ghanian troops assigned to the
U.N, forces attempting to keep
order in the Congo would not be
affected by the break in relations
if Col. Mobutu is able to make the
action effective. Kwame Nkrumah,
Ghana's President, insists that the
regime Of Col. Mobutu is illegal
and without authority. Yesterday
it appeared that the action on
Ghana only added one more PROB
lem to the incredible snarl that
is the Congo.

Algerian problem, probably early
next month. But the De Gaulle
initiative is expected to have a

nations in their contention that
the U. N. should await a French
solution to the Algerian crisis be-
fore taking direct action itself.

Soviet's Cries

Yet. in 1859 and 1885,. the very
remote possibility that the United
States would seek to interpose its
might between the Castro regime
and the Cuban people brought
a chorus of anguished cries from
the Communist press and all sorts
of outraged charges from Mr..
Castro'S government.
United States responses to the
challenges Of Fidel Castro have
been, to- say the least, hesitant.
Unwilling To provoke the wrath
ofthe Fdelistas. and loath to res
urrect the old sensitivities Of all
Latin America to intervention in
south-of- the-border affairs by
1.-THE colossus Of the North" the
White House and the State De-
partment have trod very softly
indeed and have kept the big
stick" well out of sight.
But the course of Castro has
become increasingly clear in the
last few months. and increasingly
menacing. Communist arms have
been pouring into the island re-
public's ports; American industry
and investment in Cuba has been
obliterated by conflscation without
a glimmer of compensation; the
bearded Premier and his top CO.
horts have Wed with each other
in branding Uncle Sam as an i'm
perialist monster.
Last week the Eisenhower ad-
ministration. in its waning days,
took positive action to limit the
"exportability" of Fidel Castro's
revolutionary fervor. On Thurs
day it was announced that the
Navy had been ordered to patrol
the waters between Cuba and
Central America and to seek out
and prevent" any Communist
directed" attack against, Specifi-
cally, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
The latter two governments, al
ready battling armed rebellion,
had asked officially that the
United States act to prevent
Castro-directed aid to rebel groups
challenging the governments.
The seriousness with which the
administration viewed the situa-
ton was reflected in the top-level
discussions which preceded the
announcement of naval action.
President-elect John F. Kennedy
was given special briefing by
Central Intelligence Agency Direc-
tor Allen w. Dulles on the Carib-
bean problem, even as the Augusta
golf-White House was disclosing
that a task force of one aircraft
carrier and four destroyers was
being deployed in Caribbean wa
tiers.

Above to Strengthen Economy
ByEnding Dollar Droin Abroad
THE NATIONAL SCENE

President Eisenhower last
week took drastic and dramatic
action to cut spending Of dollars
abroad and to slow the flow Of
gold from the United States.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. in
his Army days, was used to count
ing his dollars and spending them
prudently. after he became
President in January, 1858, he
quickly built a reputation for
being careful about spending the
peoples money.
In the later years of his steward
ship of the White House, as a mat
ter Of fact. he has been a man
with a mission-almost an OBJ
sesSion-to protect the value Of
the dollar. He has been the sworn
enemy Of reckless spending, the
unbalanced budget and the like.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1960-11-20

1t is ironic, therefore, that in
the waning days Of his second
term, after eight years as Presi-
dent, he and the Nation are facing
a difficult. if not desperate. finan-
cial situation in which the
worlds confidence in the Ameri-
can dollar is at stake.
What is the problem? II this
complex situation can be put sim
ply. it is this:
Nearly 10 straight years Of un-
favorable balance of payments
have reduced our gold stocks by
more than $6 billion and have
put US in a position which, if it
continues to worsen, would in
evitably lead. to a devaluation Of
the dollar and a major fiscal crisis
for the United States and prob
ably for the Western world.

On Algeria:
French Vote

French President Charles de
Gaulle last week announced
that a referendum would be
held in metropolitan France on
his program for an algerian
Algeria"
Early in the new year, French
men will vote on whether the re-
bellious African province of Al
geria should remain an integral
part of France or be given a much
qualified independence. After six
years of costly and bloody war;
fare, a military solution in the
rebellious Moslem country appears
no nearer than ever.
Gen. de Gaulle in January will
be asking his countrymen to APP
prove what he has described as
a REORGANIZATION of the public
powers in Algeria" In effect, the
Presidents program would give
Algeria a very provisional and
limited autonomy. The control of
foreign affairs, national defense,
finance and police would remain
with Paris. But a provisional Al
gerian government. predominantly
Moslem and headed by a Moslem
High Commissioner, would admin
lister affairs until the country was
pacif1ed. the rebellion dropped.
and the province reorganized
along ethnic lines.
The program openly pledges an
eventual Algerian popular ref
erendum on total independence
or some continued association with
France. The battle cry of the
European "colons" in Algeria,
"Algerie Francais!" which de-
mands total Indignation for AL
geria as department of the
French Republic, is no Longer in

money for defense and more for

President Eisenhower an
nounced Thursday, from the
golf-vacation White House Mt
Augusta, that he had ordered
United States naval forces to
patrol the waters between Cuba
and Central America at the re-
quest Of Guatemala and Mica
ragua.
Exported revolution, whatever
the motivation. has been an ac-
knowledged speciality of Fidel
Castro's 26th of July Movement
since the barbados" ousted Full
gencio Batista's corrupt dictator
ship almost two years ago.
But Mr.. Castro began his regime
in Cuba with the blessings of
almost all the people in the West
ern Hemisphere who favored the
speedy replacement of military
relationships in Latin American
nations with democratic govern
ments responsive to the will and
the pressing needs of their popu-
lations.
And Mr.. Castro, supported II
not led by his top aides. lost little
time in assuring his wishers
that the kind of democracy he
would espouse was a kind more
than somewhat alien to Western
ideas. In short. Fidel Castro, his
brother Raul, and his chief ad-
wiser, Ernesto "Che" Guevara,
quickly made it plain that de
mocracy" in the Fidelista diction-
airy was alarmingly identifiable
with the peoples democracy" be-
ing practiced in Eastern Europe.
In 1856, when the Soviet Union
sent the might of its armed
forces laundering down the streets
of Budapest to Subdue a rebellion,
the Communists and their apollo
giStS pointed out. not without
logic in a chilly sense, that the
Soviet Union could not tolerate
the existence of a hostile regime
on its very borders.
