What to do about Cuba?
How can a people in bondage
be rescued? Years ago the
short answer would have been
to land Marines" in order
to, protect the lives and
property of Americans"
But that formula empha-
sizes military force. 1t i'm
pairs the independence Of
u pies. and, when the Mos
COW regime did this in Hun
gary, the armed intervention
outraged the world. No such
program would be, counte-
nanced now in Cuba, and
shouldn't be.
There is, however, a way
to restore to the people of
Cuba the independence and
freedom which have been
taken away from them by the
dictatorship of Fidel Castro.
1t is a way that relies solely
on moral force.
For today the people of
Cuba are the prisoners of a
dictatorship. They are being
denied freedom of speech,
freedom of assembly and
freedom of the press. Their
economic future is in the
hands of communistic-
minded officials who are de-
termined to satisfy their own
lust for power.
Being only 80 miles away
from the United States, the
Cuban people are not help
less. They are threatened
with an economic system that
takes away individual ini-
tiative, alienates foreign
capital, and can bring eco
nomic chaos, with all the at
tendant hardships of unem-
ployment. But in the United
States there are millions of
people who want to see the
Republic Of Cuba survive.
How shall the Cuban peo-
pile be assisted? They do not
know the truth of what is
happening inside their own
country today. Their own
government uses the radio
constantly to insult the Gov
erhment of the United States,
which has always been Cuba's
closest friend. These attacks
are answered, Of course, in
the press of this country, but
the viewpoint Of the United
States Government is not
broadcast within Cuba.
Fortunately, the radio is a
two-way system of commu-
nication. The friends of Cuba

An Answer to G ostro in Cuba

President Eisenhower made
this pointed statement in his
latest speech:
I'VE believe in the right of
peoples to choose their own
form Of government. to build
their own institutions, to
abide by their own philoso-
ply. But if a tyrannical form
Of government were imposed
from outside or with outside
support-by force, threat, or
subversion = we would GER
tainly deem this to be a vio-
lation of the policy of nom
intervention, and would ex-
pect the Organization of
American States. acting un-
der several solemn commit
ments. to take appropriate
collective action"
To enable the Cuban peo-
pie to learn the whole truth,
radio stations In the southern
part Of this country can be
utilized to convey informa-
ton to the island. Funds for
this will no doubt be forth
coming from freedom-loving
citizens Of the United States
and many countries in Latin
America. For it is important
that every country in this
hemisphere be informed on
how Communist infiltration
operates and on how to get
rid Of communistic influence
once 1t takes hold. as it has
today in Cuba.
Radio voices of freedom,
expressed in the Spanish Ian
guage, would have the sup
port Of all liberty-loving per-
sons in this hemisphere. Such
a movement should not be
related in any way to the
plottings of certain exiles
with a selfish purpose to
serve. There are various die
tatorships in some countries
to the south of us. but none
has imperiled its own inter-
national relationships as has
the dictatorship in Havana.
It would be a triumph for
reason as against military
force If the people of Cuba
could be given the facts
about what is happening in
their own country. They
should learn the risks that
are involved as their present
government scares away the
tourist trade, confiscates
property. causes investors to
turn away from Cuba, and
generally demoralizes the
economy Of a country for
whose independence many
Americans gave their lives in
. the war with Spain nearly 50
years ago.

Radio Broodcosts to Cuban People
Uroed to Tell Them What Is Goinq on

in the United States can be
organized to carry on a con-
slant flow of truthful infor-
nation to the Cuban people.
They can be told what a dan
gerous situation exists when
the United States Govern
ment is assailed and blamed
for everything, including an
accidental explosion of a
munitions ship in Havana
Harbor.
What was the purpose of
the Castro government in
bringing munitions to Cuba?
Nobody is threatening to at
tack the island and, if any
other nation did try it. the
United States would gladly
employ its forces to prevent
such an invasion from being
successful. There is no need
for more armament inside
Cuba.
President Eisenhower, in
his report to the American
people last night, made this
same point. as follows:
Many persons do not real
ize the United States is just
as committed as are the other
republics to the principles of
the Rio Treaty of 1947. This
treaty declares that an attack
on one American republic
will in effect be an attack on
all. We stand firmly by this
commitment. This mutual
security system, proved by
time, should now enable some
of the American republics
to reduce expenditures for
ornaments, and thus make
funds available for construc-
tive purposes"
There is need, however, for
the millions of people inside
Cuba to be made aware of
the dangers they face if the
Castro government continues
its high handed dictatorship.
No regime can last long with
out the acquiescence Of the
people of any country. Cuba
has had many relationships
in the past, and Castro'S
successful revolution was sup
posed to be different from
the rest. It has not turned
out that way. No mention,
for instance. is being made
nowadays Of the holding Of
any elections at which the
people of Cuba would be able
to choose their own govern
ment. One man and his COM
munistic cohorts rule.

his life.
He left a note saying why.
Quite understandably his
death has shocked the ma
ton. The government is en-
barrassed, but also distraught.
Its budget is low. But 1t also
is examining administrative
costs and salaries. The lat
ter are, on the average,
higher than those paid
scientists. The buildings are
sometimes finer, and more
complete, than the equip
ment in them with which
scientists must work.
The government has dis
covered, too. that its bu-
reaucracy is so rigid that
both merit and initiative are
drowned in the morass of
time-serving. A scientist who,
instead of taking his life,
makes an exit from his
profession by moving TO an
administrative Job is paid
more money.

Young Scientist With S27 a Month
Chooses Suicide as Way Out

The scene was a small room
In a poor section not far from
, New Delhi.
A young man was busy
cutting away the telephone
wiring.
He patiently tied it to a
support along the wall, just
at the ceiling, standing in a
chair to have enough reach.
And then quietly, methodi-
cally, the man arranged a
moose in the wire, placed it
about his neck, and stepped
from the chair.
This man was DR.. M. T.
Joseph, an Indian scientist.
His background was excel
lent. 1t included a doctors
degree from Fordham Uni
VSTSlLy.
But DR.. Joseph's salary was
245 rupees per month. This
many rupees translated into
United States dollars would
be, at present exchange rates,
$51.45. But India, too, has
deductions for taxes, welfare,
and so on. DR.. Joseph's take
home pay was only a little
more than 100 rupees. His
take-home pay amounted to
.k21 per month.

Means Chairman, Wilbur
Mills of Arkansas, q moder-
ate conservative, has lost
control Of his committee. And

er, beset with family sorrow
has already been forced to
spread himself far too thin
In the absence Of strong ex-
ecutive leadership at the

plunge into the civil rights
fight and try to rescue a bill
so that his fellow-Texan and
presidential candidate, SEN
ator johnson. can get out Of
the present Senate impasse.
1t is well known that Senator
Johnson's best hope is to get
a House bill which he can
substitute for the Senate bill.
The Speaker has played
ball in past years with an
other Texan, Mr.. Eisen-
hower's Secretary Of the
Treasury, Robert Anderson.
He may try afresh to help
Mr.. Anderson get a compro-
mise and Mr.. Mills save face.
But the hardened attitude of
House liberals spells trouble
even the Rayburn prestige
cannot easily smother.
1t may bear on the situa-
tion of Representative Mills
that his home State will lose
two seats in the reapportion-
ment following the census
this year. He has been a
candidate to succeed Mr..
Rayburn. Possibly his rivals
for that powerful place see
no reason to build him up

sas voters so that he at least

ASHKELON, Israel-"Tell
it not in Gath; publish it
not in the streets of Ashke-
lon, lest the daughters of the
PhiIistines rejoice"
Thus David cried out when
Saul, the first king of Israel,
committed suicide over his
military rout by the Phil
istine invaders.
The same words now gleam
out in the springtime from a
bronze tablet here in ruined
old Ashkelon, the burial place
of a long series of vanished
civilizations.
Here in Ashkelon Samson
first met Delilsh. Here came
Alexander the Great. This
was an ancient place when
the Crusaders first stormed
its now-crumbled walls in
1870.
David's eulogy to Saul. as
the Israelis observe today,
was not an admission of ulti-
mate defeat of Israel. 1t was
the beginning of new resist
ance under David, himself. as
the new king. The ISraelites
were to overcome the Phil
istines at last.
David, in the modern say
ing. was only refusing to give
the slightest comfort to the
enemy. Beside broken Ash
kelon. which lies deathly still
and quiet now under the dust
of the unnumbered centuries,
stands a new and blazingly
modern Ashkelon. So. too, is
a new and angular Gath next
door to Old Gath.

argues that this is necessary

The argument therefore is
over monetary policy. This

served by a long tradition
that the House gives great
weight to the recommenda-

By tacit consent also, House

What is it like then? 1t is

This is a kind of Berlin in

The one place the much
travelled President of the
United States never finds
time to visit in fact or in
spirit these days is the Capitol.
His remarkable detach-
ment from the civil rights
fight, a domestic issue with
international repercussions,
is matched only by the indif-
ference of the Congress to
what he wants. So far as
Congress is concerned, the
soldier President might al
ready be taking terminal
leave from his responsible
ties.
1t may be that the Presi-
dent can successfully shift
blame for what happens on
civil rights TO the shoulders
of the Democratic majori-
ties at the Capitol. Much of
the blame belongs there, al
though those people gen.
timely concerned about civil
rights will not cease to
mourn the lost ground that

ship might have supplied.

He will discover also that he
can no longer depend on for
