British lieutenant asking for
Gurkha volunteers to jump on a
hilltop behind a Japanese posi-
ton. The jump was to be made
from an airplane at 1000 feet.
The request, transmitted by the
Gurkha sergeant, or "havildar,"
was met with stony silence by the
troopers. The havildar then sug-
gested that perhaps 1000 feet
was too high.
The lieutenant shrugged his
shoulders and said that they
could jump from 500 feet, where
upon some so volunteers came
forward. The Britisher then told
the havildar to help the volunteers
adjust their parachutes.
-"Ahl we Jump with para
chuteS, Sahib?" the Gurkha non-
com explained, and the entire
company of 120 soldiers came for
ward as volunteers.
'Brovest of the Brove'
The bond between British and
Gurkha has been the most mem
orably expressed, perhaps, by
Prof. Sir Ralph Turner of the
University of London, who served
with them in the First World War
and wrote in the preface to his
Dictionary of the Nepal Ian
guage" the following appreciation:
"AS I write these last words, my
thoughts return to you who we're
my comrades, the stubborn and
indomitable peasants of Nepal.
Once more I hear the laughter
with which you greeted every
hardship. Once more I see you in
your bivouacS or about your fires,
on forced march or in the
trenches, now Shivering with wet
and cold, now scorched by a pitt
less and burning sun. Uncomplain-
ing, you endure hunger and thirst
and wounds; and at last your un-
wavering lines disappear into the
smoke and wrath of battle. Brav-
est of the brave, most generous
of the generous, never had any
country more faithful friends
than you"

Invasion Outlook

The invasion Of Cuba came as
no surprise to the people of the
island nation. 1t had been ex-
pected for weeks by Castro fol-
lowers and foes alike.
When I left Havana few days
before the fuse was lit, the city
seemed like a huge powder-keg
ready to explode any moment.
The sprawling, historic Cuban
capital which once attracted fun
loving tourists from all over the
world had become a gigantic
military camp, bristling with arms
and filled with an atmosphere of
imminent war and fear.

and left-wing groups all over the

During a three-hour visit in the

Big Military Show
1t was clear that Castro's mill
tary preparations were being
carried on in feverish haste and
on tremendous scale.
Scores of militia recruiting sta
tions were sprinkled throughout
Havana's working class district,
reflecting Castro's belief that his
main strength lies in the support
of the low-income element.
Every evening, thousands Of
blue-shirted militiamen were
gathering at special collection
points and taken by brand-new
Russian trucks to camps outside
the city for few hours of mill
tary training. Russian military
advisors" were usually accom-
panying the troops.
During week ends, the military
activity became even more evident.
Early on Saturday morning,
was awakened by tremendous
shouting in front of my hotel.
For nearly an hour, long column
of armed militiamen were march
ing past, yelling out pro-Castro
slogans.
The hotel desk clerk explained
they were volunteers on their way
to week end training.
How voluntary is the militia
service?
The answers vary, according to
whom you ask.

consented to give up part of their

Rugged Revolutions
And Moral Issues

States may have withheld critical
help.
The problem was made hun
dredfold more difficult by Castro's
popularity in large areas of Latin
America.
Many LatinS have enjoyed see
ing Uncle Sans beard tweaked.
The original ideals of the Castro
revolution-bread, freedom, edu-
cation-Struck fire in Latin Amer
lea, where right-wing relationships
have so long oppressed so many.
United States Delegate Adlai E.
Stevenson argued eloquently this
past week that Castro had be-
trayed his revolution, had sold out
to Moscow and Peiping, had in
stituted a new and more terrible
tyranny.
That this argument failed to
sway the hemisphere was indi-
Gated in the burning of the Mexi-
can-American Cultural Institute
and the anti-American riots which
broke out in Caracas, Bogota,
Guatemala City, Rio, La Paz and
elsewhere.
Ecuador's response to Mr.. Ste
venson was to call for a morator-
ium on "epithets" and a reconcil-
iation between Washington and
Castro. A more unpromiSing prof.
ect than reconciliation of this
type would be hard to devise, but
Eucador was not alone in urging
it.
Public Acceptance
The United States also failed
to give the Miro revolt effec-
tive psychological support. Latin
revolutions seek to build up mo-
mentum on the basis of public
acceptance. If success can come
to be taken as inevitable, they
often accomplish miracles with
practically no physical power.
There are many instances where
handfuls of men, armed largely
with popular appeal and the psy-
chology of success, have over
thrown mighty tyrants. Castro,
for example, did it.
The United States tried hard to
give the exileS' forces this mo-
mentum. President Kennedy, Sec
retary Of State Dean Rusk, and
Stevenson all sounded the verbal
trumpets. But as of this writing,
the effort has not struck pay dirt.
The key element which punc-
tured the balloon was the United
States stated unwillingneSs to in
tervene directly. Insure of the
revolt'S outcome, Cubans feared
to rise UP. The Soviet Union
plunged in with an oStentatious
pledge of aid to Castro, thus help
ing to heighten the uncertainty.
Both in material support and in
psychological momentum, there
fore, the revolt fell short because
OF inhibitions under which the
United States was operating.
1t is classic illustration of the
difficulties encountered when a
nation with moral scruples at
tempts to play the amoral game
Of power politics. The alternative
casting aside all moral scruple
would also have been extraordi-
narily damaging to the national
interest.
The Kennedy administration
now is saddled with the stagger-
ing responsibility to preserve as
much as possible the image of the
United States as the worlds pri-
mary defender of the right"
while at the same time insuring,
somehow or other, that interna-
tional communism will not estab-
lish a military beach-head in the
Western Hemisphere.

The ornate lobbieS of the big

Although none of them is
wearing military uniform, many
were giving themselves away as
military men by their gait and
manner.
And then there is the newly
established Cuba Institute for the
Friendship Of all People, an or
ganization whose Communist
character is probably more OBJ
viouS than that of most other
