But he also announced
that after long study the Red
army is to be reorganized. It
will be greatly reduced in
numbers. The army will be
comprised of highly trained
special attack units which
will be fully mobile and
armed with nuclear weapons.
The air force will be a subsid-
iary arm. The emphasis will
be given to rockets and the
specialized assault units, like

1t is, in essence, Gen. Cav

Now, Mr.. KS speech was
designed. we may be sure,
to seize the lead in disarma-

put pressure on the Geneva

was milking his huge nu-

But the thoughtful persons
do not believe he is making
up his new weapon. 1t may be
an orbiting nuclear satellite

1t may be a cheap, easier way

The Florida Senator, be-
fore leaving on q donation
tour of Latin America with a
Senate subcommittee study
ing international trade, urged
a new appraisal Of United
States policies toward Cuba
in view Of the fact that the
Cuban government, as he sees
it, is playing the Communist
game" He added:
THE time has come for
overall strategy as to what
we're going to do about
Cuba"
On reaching Panama City,
Senator Smathers made q
further comment. He de-
clared: "In Cuba, they have
a government which has been
following Q strictly dictatorial
line. The steps Castro has
taken are identical with the
steps Hitler took in Ger
many"
In Buenos Aires, the in
fluential newspaper La
Prensa said datly a couple
days ago that the Castro
regime in Cuba is a Dictator
ship. There have been similar
comments from other Latin
American newspapers, put
there is as yet no concerted
planning among these coun-
tries on what to do about
the Communist inflltration
that has, for instance, made
Castro so cocky in Cuba and
so Indifferent to the pleas of
other governments in this
hemisphere.
For the problem is not
solely the concern of the
United States. It involves a
direct threat to all Latin
American countries. The or
ganization of American states
is really the forum where
the whole situation should
be- discussed publicly, but,
before any action can be
taken by it, there will have
to be a good deal of informal
private consultation between
the principal governments.
Meanwhile. President Eisen-
hover has asked q special
study group, which includes
Secretary Of State Herter
and DR.. Milton Eisenhower,
to come up with some pro-
gram or plan for dealing with
the Cuban situation.

With inadequate supplies
and no hope Of reinforce
ments, the American-Filipino
forces in January. 1912, were
fighting q hopeless battle
against the strong invading
forces Of Japan. Manila was
in the latter's hands. Gen.
MacArthur-who has now
faded away"-was preparing
to put up a final but use
less resistance at Corregidor.
Any American who had said
in those days that the two
nations, bitter enemies. would
sign within a few years a
treaty Of permanent amity
and alliance would have been
put away as "a mental case"

Nobusuke Kishi, once jailed
by US as a war criminal but
now the factual head Of
state, since the Emperor is
constitutionally a mere fig-
urehead. pledged last Tues
day Japan's full co-opera-
ton with its former enemy
and victor in all military and
economic fields. We have
been granted bases in Japan
for our armed forces as well
as the cooperation of the
Nipponese military power,
when these may be needed.
OF course, at present the
Japanese military establish
ment is negligible. But its
potential, taking into account
its population and its tradi-
tions as warriors, Is great.
So is the industrial potential.
The treaty signed in an i'm
pressive ceremony in the
East Room Of the White
House provided a bsolute
equality between the two
signatory powers.
We have undertaken never
to use the facilities accorded
us by the Japanese govern
ment Of its own free will,

the United States have agreed

Future Threat to Accord Seen
From Reds and Fascist Factions

that Mr.. Kishi is sincere in
his views that the future Of
Japan must be intimately
linked with that Of the United
States and the rest Of the.
free world. Mr.. Kishi has not
been lying on a bed Of roses
ever since he came to power
In 1857. He has had to fight
not only political opportun-
ism, which is more rampant
in Japan than in many West
ern countries, but also the
growing power Of the Com
munist agitators and infil-
traitors who have vowed not
to rest until their country
joins the USSR-Red China
bloc.
His position will remain
unassailable as long as Japan
continues to be as prosperous
as she is at present. But
those who are keeping tabs
on the affairs Of the island
empire are skeptical as to
whether in the event the
prosperity cycle comes to an
end the Japanese people
themselves will want to live
up to the terms of the Amer
ican-Japanese treaty signed
this week.
Under the pressure of pub
lie opinion, Mr.. Kishi had to
give his tacit approval to an
exchange Of cultural and
commercial missions with
Peiping. The relatively small
but highly vocal and ener-
getic Communist Party, sup
ported openly or surrepti-
tiously by the various Social
ist factions, Is bitterly op-
posed to the alliance with
the United States.
Many moderates fear, be-
cause Of the power Of the
Soviet Union and China, as
well as their proximity to
the Japanese shores, that
this alliance might threaten
the welfare and security Of
Japan. And, what is more
important, the Japanese peo-
pie themselves do not seem
to have forgotten the crush
ing military defeat at our
hands as well as the occupa-
ton Of their homeland by
American military forces. We
are still being denounced by
Mr.. Kishi's opponents for
having handed over the Ku-
riles and Sakhalin to the
Russians.
1t is not easy to wipe the
nationalist slate clean only
a few years after their ma
tional pride had been so
severely injured. Japan had
never been defeated before

When will all the Latin
American countries wake up
to the fact that Fidel Castro
is doing more to hurt the
business development Of the
entire hemisphere than any
body else, unless it is the
regime in Moscow?
Businessmen today are
hesitating whether to invest
money in Central and South
America. They wonder If the
same destructive influences
which gave Castro power will
arise in other countries
besides Cuba. Most signif-
icant is a statement Just
made by William r. Mathews,
editor and publisher of the
Arizona Daily Star. He is
widely known for his writings
and has for years done q
great deal of travelling to
different parts Of the world
to report on political and
economic conditions. He says:
"As one Of the several
newspaper and radio report
ers who interviewed Castro
of Cuba in his home near
Havana last February %
and saw what Q rare OPP
portunity he had to bring
about the blessings of free
dom and democracy to his
country, the course of events
has compelled me to change
my opinion drastically.
II have seen Communist
operations all over the world.
Castro, in my opinion, is a
prisoner Of the Communists.
The time is not far away
when he will have to bow to
their will and establish a
peoples democracy or make
way for his brother and
others to do it.
Probably in the next year,
II our present hands-off pol
icy continues. we will be con-
fronted with a full-fledged
Communist nation on our
doorstep. When that hap
pens. inaction on our part
will have a profound effect
elsewhere in the world.

fact that Commissar Mikoyan

few months ago. For what?
If we remember that the
Castro revolution was Matched
in Mexico, the reason for
such q visit becomes more
apparent"
Mr.. Mathews suggests that
maybe the time has come to
invite the people Of Cuba to
come into the United States
with the same free common
wealth status as Puerto Rico
has. Certainly, rather than
have Cuba go Communist.
many Cubans would prefer to
be under American protec-
ton.
But the people of Cuba un-
doubtedly want to preserve
their independence and their
sovereignty. The Unite d
States can do a great deal to
assist Cuba to remain free
from the control Of any for
eign government. The prob
lem. however, is not merely
in Cuba but all through Latin
America, where the Commu-
mist apparatus is at work
infiltrating political and eco
nomic institutions.
Relations between foreign
countries and Cuba are
steadily growing worse,
rather than better. Conflsca-
ton of property is continuing.
The American Government
has been patient. but already
measures Of reprisal are be-
ing proposed.
Thus, Senator Smathers,
Democrat Of Florida, has
come forth with the sugges-
ton that the United States
withhold from Cuba its sub
sidy on sugar until Cuba
repays Americans for con-
1lscated properties. The sub
sidy is about $3.50 million
annually, and comes about
because the United States
pays Cuba a certain amount
above the world price for
sugar. The idea would be to
deposit the differential in a
special fund until the Cuban
government makes proper
compensation for seized
properties. II, within a rea-
sonable time, Cuba doesn't
compensate those whose in
vestments have been confis-
Gated. then the money would

move rapidly out.

lustrated what he thought

Plan to Make the House Graveyard
Of Democratic Leadership Efforts Seen

The broad strategic aim Of
Vice President Nixon's pre-
convention campaign is now
clear. 1t is to make the
House of Representatives the
graveyard of Democratic ef-
forts to build a record Of real
legislative accomplishment
this year.
Democrats need that record
desperately to support a cam
paign based on the issues.
They will have to wage such
a campaign because they lack
a star Of sufficient political
magnitude to meet Mr.. Nixon
with all his present advan-
tages on anything like equal
terms. They probably will
not even know who their
candidate will be until the
convention decides.
Unopposed for the nomina-
ton, Mr.. Nixon Is free to
lead his party-a role the
President has handed over to
him-and devise his own
means Of victory. What
amounts to his capture of the
Speaker Of the House is al
ready on view.
His troops are the old con-
servative coalition of Repub-
licans and Southern Demo-
