3 U. s. Reasons
The United States has three
reasons for proposing Japan as
a member:
First, Japan is the United
States strongest ally in the Far
East, and the closer she is as
sociated with the West, econom-
ically, politically and militarily,
the better.
Second, Japan's booming
economy has put her in a posi-
ton to contribute significantly
to the emerging Western pro-
gram for economic aid,to under
developed countries. The more
nations cooperating in the eco
nomic field, the less pressure on
the United States for expanded
spending in this field.
Third, the United States hopes
to avoid discrimination either
by Japan against the European
trading powers or by the Euro
peans against Japan. The United

4 Was q Sitting Duck
In Cubo,' Zoyos Says

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 81 (AP).-
Jorge zayas says, 'I was q sit
ting duck in Cuba" because Of
his blunt criticism of Fidel Cas-
tro's regime in Avance, the
newspaper he published.
Mr.. Zayas enlisted Ecuado-
reaIf diplomatic help in fleeing
here yesterday from Havana.
Caribbean chairman of the
Inter-American Press Associa-
tion's Press Freedom Commit
tee, Mr.. Zayas stepped out Of
Avance rather than print foot
notes which his pro-Castro
employees insisted on attaching
to articles critical of govern
ment policies.
"They might have charged me
at any moment with counter
revolutionary activities" the
plump, outspoken editor said.
Was Once Arrested
81 was arrested once. And I
got the usual assortment Of
threats, though not directly
from a government source"
Mr.. Zayas answered inter-
viewers questions by saying
press freedom no longer exists
in revolutionary Cuba, and that
Premier Castro is pursuing poll
cies which delight Iron Cur
tain countries.
He said he had no means
of ascertaining whether Pre-
mier Castro himself, or his
brother, Raul. revolutionary
armed forces commander, is a
Communist.
The 32-year-old Zayas, edu-
Gated at Columbia University,
was a strong editorial backer
of Mr.. Castro at the time the
bearded rebel chieftain took
over Cuba's government. But
he never has pulled editorial
punches. and he said this put
him under government pres
sure because the revolutionists
brook no criticism.
Press Freedom Impossible
There cannot be freedom of
the press in Cuba" Mr. Zayas
said, when editors are forced
to publish material by en-
ploye unions. I cannot predict
whether freedom of the press
will return under Castro"
When asked whether he con-
siders Mr.. Castro a Commu-
mist, he said:
II do not know. I lacked the
facilities to make a conclusive
check.
II do say Fidel follows a pol
icy of pleasure to countries be-
hind the Iron Curtain"
Asked if Cuba is Communist
controlled. Mr.. Zayas said, IF
you analyze the current pol
icies. you might reach that con-
clusion."
Mr.. Zayas' pretty blond wife,
Mariana, preceded him to the
United States. Mr.. Zayas said
he does not know whether his
bank accounts in Havana have
been conf1scated.
