we've given nearly So billion to
Franco alone).
But at least this money now
is to be used not for private enter
prise, but for land reform and social
welfare. If we really believe in land
reform for Latin America, and in
tend to help pick up the tab for it,
then why not pick up the tab for
Cuba and guarantee her agrarian
bonds? This gesture would cost us
little more than what we should have
paid for the use of the Guantanamo
Naval Base all these six decades. 1t
would certainly be cheaper and more
sensible than bringing a possible
world war close to our shores, break
ing the hearts of the Cuban people,
and perhaps fomenting a dozen Gu
ban revolutions elsewhere in Latin
America. The whole deal would cost
us less than the development of one
of our new-fangled moon-rockets.

WATCH ON The POTOMAC


foreign aid program. Some wanted
him named as u. S. representative
to NATO.
Nixon apnarently mixed all these
ideas. Instead he described himself
as leader of the Constructive oppo-
sition' and served notice that he
wanted to reserve for himself the
role of critic of the new administra-
ton.
This is a role which Nixon finds
comfortable. His reputation was es-
tablished as an Opponent" "critic"
and particularly as destroyer" of
political regulations. When he tried
to shift roles-when he sought 'to
accentuate the positive" in the words
of the old song-Nixon seemed out
of character.
Considering the shoddy campaign
he ran and how close he came to vic
tory, it would be mistake on any
Democrats part to underestimate
Nixon in the role he has chosen for
himself. I have no doubt he will be
a very tough opponent. If there is
any sign of 'fcomplacency" in the
new Administration, or "appease-
ment''. Nixon will be certain to point
it out.
There is now talk of putting one
or two non-Nixon Republicans in the
new Cabinet. The names of Douglas
Dillon for Secretary of State, as well
as Robert Lovett and John McCloy
of the Chase Manhattan Bank, con-
tinue to attract the most attention.
1t would be a virtual reputation
of all his campaign criticism of inept
handling of foreign affairs if Ken
nedy were to name Dillon, an Eisen-
hover carry-over. But Lovett and
McCloy would both be welcome addi-
tions to anyone's cabinet, although
not necessarily as Secretary of State.
What makes it all so difficult is
that the whole gesture of bipartisan
ship will be lost if Nixon says that
Lovett, McCloy or other Eastern Re-
publicans are unacceptable.
Strange as it may seem, what
we are likely to see in the next four
years is a defeated candidate for
President possessing the power of
veto.

Only part of the discharged en-

were 262 of them altogether, as fol-
lows: 1877 retail clerks, 81 machinists,
% clerical employees, seven shoe sales
men, six warehousemen, five garage
and service station employees, and 20
building maintenance employees whose
jobs were eliminated by cancellation
of contract with the union firm
which employed them. The building
maintenance workers were replaced
with scabs.
At last report the strike of the
machinists was settled, but the clerks
were awaiting the outcome of an ar
bitration decision.

Cuba has intervention filters. Gu
ban leaders, who know history much
better than do u. S. politicians, recall
that when President Taft ordered
American citizens out of Mexico in
March, 1913, there followed the as
sassination of one of Mexico's most
honorable Presidents Zone who had
been badgered and conspired against
by North American corporations) F.,
and the setting up of the brutal, anti
revolutionary government of Victor
iano Huerta.
Cubans recall their own recent his
tory. When, in 1884, Grau San Mar
tina mild Recommended the temer-
ity to impose minimum wage of 81
a day in Cuba and tried to reduce
electricity rates from 25c to tic a
kilowatt hour, the island was ringed
with thirty u. S. war vessels; two
cruisers sat out his entire administra-
ton in Havana Harbor, their naked
guns pointing up O'Reilly Street.
Cubans recall how u. S. Ambassador
Sumner Welles, who had ousted die
tator Machado and set up the short
lived De Cespedes government con-
spired with the Fascist A.B.C. terror
lists and Fulgencio Batista to over
throw Grau and put in the illegal
Carlos Mendieta government, with
its ensuing terror and bloodshed.
They recall more recent history:
the secret consultations by u. S. Am
bassador Earl E. 7. Smith with Min
lister of War Tabernilla to replace
the tottering Batista regime with a
military junta. But unlike the machi-
nations of Ambassador Henry Lane
Wilson in Mexico and those of Puer-
ifoy in Guatemala, Mr.. Smiths ma
came too late to short
change the Castro revolution.

MIR. NIXON DETERMINES
HIS COURSE

The 1860 election campaign, il
seems safe to forecast IS going tn
last for the next four years.
That's what really emerged from
the one-hour reconciliation" talk in
Florida between President-elect Ken
nedy and Vice President Nixon. The
two former rivals used the words
cordial" and gracious" to describe
each other but the outcome of the
affair hardly bespeaks such result.
Kennedy, as the bare winner in a
hard-fought battle, did make the
gesture of going to Nixon's vacation
spot. This was in keeping with the
American tradition of good sports
manship after the game is over. Nixon
expressed appreciation that Kennedy
had made the pilgrimage.
But now the amenities have been
complied with, we can expect re-
sumption of the sharpest political
warfare in a generation.
The overriding fact as Kennedy
prepares to take over is that he bare
ly squeaked through. Nixon made it
clear that he will never let him for
get it.
If Kennedy had won decisively as
did Franklin D. Roosevelt or Dwight
d. Eisenhower, Nixon would be just
as much of dead duck as Tom
Dewey, Wendell Willkie and even
Adlai Stevenson after their defeats.
But there is no doubt that many
people believe that the Democrats
"stole'' the election. l suspect that
there was some vote-stealing on both
sides, but the finger of suspicion has
been pointed rather sharply at the
and Philadelphia machines.
The figures in both cities, it must
be admitted, look very strange. And
so did those from Republican-ruled
1ownstate Illinois.
Be that as it may, the election
results show the country to be split
almost evenly. Under such condi-
tions Kennedy must be absolutely
brilliant in every move he makes,
or the Honeymoon will be over
even before his inauguration.
NIXON'S TALENTS
To understand what Kennedy is
Up against, it is necessary to under
tand how the political mind" works.
The first significant proposal after
he election came from conservative |
Democrats. Jim Farley was out in
he open and it is believed Joe Ken
ledy was behind the scenes in sug-
resting that Nixon's talents" ought
o be used in the new Administra-
ion.
How were they to be used? Some
dvisors thought Kennedy ought to
invite Nixon to join his Cabinet in a
national unity gesture. Others said
e should be put in charge of the

CUBANS KNOW REAL
GOAL OF WASHINGTON

Castro's revolutionary government
knows that Washington has declared
implacable economic warfare on
Cuba, that its real goal is the over
throw of Fidel Castro whatever the
Gals got hold of copies of placards
being secretly printed by u. S. Am
bassador Philip W. Bonsal. This is the
house of an American citizen, the
placards read, and the text went on to
ask that both citizens and property be
respected not by the government Of
Cuba. but by whoever might have
authority. Now Washington has sug-
gested that Americans get out of
Cuba. In Cuba, this was taken to be
the first step in an armed interven-
ton scheme. 1t was also so interpret
ed by every ex-Batista assassin and
exiled plotter.
Cuba has become somewhat accus-
toned to u. S. Congressman rampag-
ing up and down Latin America,
spreading propaganda that the Ha-
vana government is Communist; they
are used to the worst elements of the
Batista regime being permitted to de-
liver the same message in the COM
mittee rooms of the Senate. They
have become somewhat Injured to the
hate campaign in the American press.
They were even braced for Washing
toms latest economic step, the final
cutting off of u. S. trade.
But recent u. S. moves have
been more serious. The lid is APP

CASTRO NOT NEEDED TO FIRE
ANTI-U.S.A. SENTIMENT

Latin American ill-feeling toward
the United States has been building
up steadily, especially since the
Washington-engineered overthrow of
Arbenz in Guatemala.
The resentment flaring today-in
every country-at our Cuban policy
needs no Castro propaganda to feed
it. Today there is scarcely a govern
ment to the south of US that dares
criticize Castro or to defend our pol
icy toward him.
Unless our policy is rectified,
and soon, revolutionary wave of
unprecedented proportions is likely
to shake the entire continent; and
if Castro's revolution is broken by
us in Cuba, the Organization of
American States will also be
smashed.
There is nothing to hope for from
either Presidential candidate. (This

Castro, even if he disagrees with Ken
nedy's wild proposals to promote rev.
olution in Cuba. The Democratic
candidates own twelve-point pro-
fran for Latin America, seemingly
so concrete, is actually pompous and
vague, showing little knowledge of
the present state of affairs to the
south. Neither candidate is aware,
that a Princeton Univer-
sity poll in Cuba as late as August
showed IS per cent of the people be-
hind Castro and the revolution.
Indeed, the batting of Castro's
Cuba by both candidates represents
an interesting reversal of the tradi-
tional political situation. Washington
has always discounted criticism from
Latin American politicians as dema-
goguery designed to win Latin Amer
lean votes. Now, as Cuba's Foreign
Minister Raul Roa has pointed out,
Cuba is being used as a scapegoat |
BY U. S. politicians busy garnering
U. S. votes. Considering the relative
strength of the two countries, it is

CASTRO ALSO FINDS
VALUE IN BATTING

Of course, Castro is doing consid-
cradle batting of his own; and by
virtue of the very size of the Goliath
he is defying, he is probably getting
more mileage with the maneuver than
either Kennedy or Nixon. Castro prob
ably knows this, and it may be that
he has deliberately whipped up war
scare in Cuba. At time when the
opposition to him-financed gener-
ously by funds from abroad-is get
ting organized, he might very well
find public demonstrations in his
favor useful weapon.

BILE about prestige. Prestige with
whom? Francois Spain? Duvalier's

Our cold war against Castro is
losing us the battle for all the neu-

of the world. Cuba, indeed, may be
our last chance to prove that we
intend something better than a
Hungary, a Cypress, an Algeria;
Cuba could be our last chance to
save face, and also prestige, with
the people of Latin America. I'm
