DAVID LAWRENCE
Soviet WorpIones Entering Cuba

relations between the United
States and Cuba have grown
steadily worse under the in
Spiration of Soviet advisers
who play a prominent part in
the Cuban government.
The basic fact is that Cuba
today has a puppet govern
ment. There have been no
elections to give the Cuban
people a chance to express
themselves. They have been
enslaved through methods in
troduced by Soviet Stooges
who occupy advisory" posi-
tions in the government at
Havana. Thus. a police state,
instead of a free government,
prevails in Cuba.
The Kennedy administra-
tion has not yet made up its
mind what its policy eventu-
ally will be in Cuba. But it is
difficult to see how there
could be a completely hands
off attitude while the Soviets
quietly ship in more and
more munitions of war to aid
the Castro government. The
Russian MICS could at any
moment pursue guerrilla tao
tics and damage American
cities. The Russian govern
ment naturally would dis
claim all knowledge and all
responsibility, and yet con-
siderable injury might well
be inflicted for which no re-
compenSe could be obtained.
The Cuban problem has
been drifting along without
any concrete action by the
United States. The shipment
Of Russian MICS to Cuba,
however, accentuates the
danger, and it is surprising
that even in Congress so lit
tie attention is being paid to
what is happening so miles
away from the territory of
the United States.

CONSTANTINE BROWN
London Believed Being Made to Give Up
Eost-West Brokers' Role to Get In

started with the two princi-
pal leaders, President de
Gaulle of France and Chan
cellor Adenauer of Germany.
But the canny British Prime
Minister Macmillan was in
for a shock. On the general
principle there was no objec-
ton to Britain being added
to the list of the prosperous
six, the complicated econo-
mic differences could be
Strengthened out with good
will from both sides. But the
price asked from Britain by
the French and German
leaders was political; Britain,
they insisted, must cease
trying to be the honest
broker" between the Com
mupist dictators and the
democratic powers of the
West.
France and Germany in
sisted Britain must join with
out reservation in the strug-
gle against Red objectives.
Mr.. Macmillan was gently
but automatically told that
Britain has been doing a dis
service by playing both ends
against the middle in the
hope Of keeping a shaky
peace - more profitable to
the Communist cause than
to the free world-with the
expectation of deriving sub
stantial economic gains by
trade with the Communist
bloc, especially in strategic
materials. Unless Britain
Joined continental Europe
with all sincerity in opposing
international communism, no
room could be found for her
in the Common Market.
Europe'S statesmen talked
frankly to their British coun-
terpartS during many
months. They refused to
bulge an inch in their de-
mand that Britain join more
actively in the struggle
against Soviet aggression.
The fact that they all-in-
cluding the United States
belong to the NATO coalition
should facilitate the task of
the British government in
regard to the vociferous left
wingerS in the Labor Party
and the British fellow travel
ers who profess to be terror
lied by the menace of nu-
clear war.
There is now every indica-
tion that Britain is serious
ly and by necessity willing to
comply - without appearing
to do so-with the unflinch-

ing political demands Of the
continental bloc. The first
indication was obvious when
British Interior Secretary
Butler made an unofficial
visit to Lisbon and Madrid,
During officially unofficial
dinners he loudly praised
the governments of the be-
nevolent dictators, Selazar
and Franco.
There have been convenient
explanations of his toastS
and the nature Of Mr.. But
ler's visits was duly empha-
sized by all concerned. But
soon after this visit, British
Foreign Secretary Lord Home
also visited the two Iberian
capitals. This time the visits
were official. And while Lord
Home was publicly more reti-
cent than his cabinet col
league, especially in Madrid,
reports reaching this finan-
cial capital of the world say
that the British Foreign Sec
retary'S talk with GeneraliS-
simo Franco was cordial and
full of political implications.
1t is pointed out that this
was the first time in so years
that a British Foreign Secre-
tary had paid an official visit
to the Spanish capital. These
calls were the first indication
that the London government
is prepared to toe the Franco
German line. 1t is no secret
that the Germans and the
French want Spain to join
the NATO-a demand made
in the United States Senate
two years ago. But neither
Paris nor Berlin want to
force the pace because Portu-
gal already is a member and
Spain, for all intentS and
purposes, is an unofficial
member. We have had five
air bases and two naval
bases on her territory and
her ground forces are being
rapidly modernized with
American military assistance.
Germany and France have
extended large credits in
both Iberian countries in
an amount approximating
$3.50 million.
The gestures made by the
unofficial and official visits
of the two important British
cabinet officers is regarded
here as a significant demon
stration by the British gov
ernment that it is prepared
to play on the team. Accord
ing to observers here, Bri-
tain will give up her honest
broker position and could be
accepted in the Common
Market by the end of the
year.

DORIS FLEEsON
Big Air Power Show in Moscow
Believed Increasing Bills Chances

In the face Of a Soviet
about-face on arms, Presi-
dent Kennedy, in his strong
est statement to date on be-
half Of his foreign aid pro-
gram, said he would rather
send aid than American boys
abroad to protect the Nation.
The aid program, he declared
before a citizens group or
ganized to aid his program,
is the most vital now before
Congress.
Military experts in Wash
ington were deeply interest
ed in the show of force
Chairman Krushchev put on
for Soviet air force day.
There was concern at the ad-
vances which the Soviet air
force demonstrated but no
alarm.
What was obvious was that
new planes Of advanced de-
signs, and some of those
shown cannot be duplicated
by the United States at pres
ent, were not developed
overnight. Some of them
have taken years to get from
the drawing boards of Rus
sian engineers to the opera
tional stage. Their exist
ence proves two things. One
is that while Mr.. Khrush-
chev has been claiming some
sort Of unilateral disarma-
ment during the past year,
he has been getting militar-
lily stronger, at least in some
directions, despite his claims.
The other is that the plans
OF the Soviet Union in the
prospective change from
manned planes to missiles
has not gone so far as the
United States.
In any event, the news
from Moscow is causing a
new review of American
strength and plans by the
Pentagon. Defense Secretary
Mcnamara said another
examination Of our defense
posture will be made. De-
spite the demonstration of

Authoritative information
has been received here that
Russian MICS have been sup
piled to the Castro govern
ment in Cuba. The warplaneS
did not arrive in time to be
of help to the Cuban dictator
before the Inflated invasion
in the spring, but the pres
ence today of Soviet war
supplies is confirmed.
This step is one that has
not been given any publicity.
The reasons are not known.
Those who do comment on
it privately say the Cuban
government requested the
munitions and theoretically
is free to buy them from any
country in the world.
But while, strictly speak
ing, any government may
obtain aid from an ally, the
United States does not recog-
nize the right of any Euro
pean power to gain a foot
hold in any country in this
hemisphere. Originally known
as the Monroe Doctrine"
this principle has been adop-
ted as part Of the interna-
tional law Of this hemisphere
by the other countries in
Latin America.
What the United States
now observes. therefore, is a
definite attempt on the part
of the Soviet government to
set up a military base in this
hemisphere. The fact that
this Is being done in collabor-
alton with an existing govern
ment does not alter the
principle involved. Cuba is 90
miles away from the United
States and a relatively short
distance from other countries
in Central and South America
which have free governments.

Action Held Definite Attempt by Reds
To Set Up Military Base in Hemisphere

For some strange reason.
some of the Latin-American
governments have been hesi-
tant to come out forthrightly
against the Soviet infiltra-
ton of this hemisphere. Yet,
if any one Of them got into
trouble, it would be pleading
with the United States for
help. Unfortunately, the ad-
miniStration here has not
cryStallized its own Latin
American policy except to
announce just before the Gu
ban invasion that the United
States would not intervene
militarily. This was, unhap-'
PLY, construed widely to
mean that under no circum-
stances would the Washing
ton government come to the
assistance of a Latin-Ameri-
can government if it should
be subverted or, indeed.
seized by a foreign. power
and a puppet government es-
tablished to carry on its
diplomatic relations as well
as other functions.
The Soviet scheme is to set
up puppet governments ev-
erywhere. Moscow has done
so in the Balkans. It is pre-
pairing to do so in other
Latin-American countries as
it has in Cuba.
So the concrete question
which confrontS the United
States Government is wheth-
er a puppet government, eS-
tablished with the economic
and military aid Of a Euro
pean power which now sends
warplaneS to such a country,
should be ignored and no
steps taken to combat the
hostile influence which has
been generated. Certainly the

ZURICH Switzerland

ZURICH, Switzerland =
This somewhat sleepy city
in German-speaking Switz-
erland does not boast about
being the financial capital
Of the world, but big indus
trialists and bankers the
world over (including the
monopolists behind the Iron
and Bamboo Curtains) re-
gard it as such.
When asked about the ac-
counts bearing numbers rath-
er than names, the extreme
ly discreet and uncommuni-
cative Swiss bankers-at least
insofar as their bank affairs
are concerned-will simply
remind you Of their stringent
banking regulations. But it
is pretty well known that
not a single dictator and
very few business tycoons are
without a secret number ac-
count either in Zurich, BaSle
or Geneva. Hence, by neces-
sity, these large banking
cities. and especially Zurich,
have by far the best political
intelligence in the world -
probably even better than
the Vatican's.
This prologue was needed
to show why the most re-
liable news about Britain's
present financial plight and
her hard drive to join the
continental European Com
mon Market is better known
and understood here than
anywhere else. For several
months the British govern
ment has realized that its
economic policies, represented
in the organization of the
Outer Seven (the United
Kingdom, Portugal. Norway,
Sweden, Denmark, Austria anc
Switzerland) did not offer the
best chance for economic sur
vival.
While all the nations in
the Com mon Market
(France, Germany, Italy and
the three Benelux countries)
have been enjoying an un-
precedented boom, Britain is
miles behind. The British
gold and hard currency re-
serves have been dwindling.
So has her export trade.
While in the Common Mar
ket group unemployment is
practically noneSixstent, it is
rampant in Britain.
