Gen. Walker and Press Freedom

calmly stood by its original
report and said the generals
remarks were in his old
groove Of pinning labels on
everything with which he
personally disagrees.
Old associates Of Gen.
Walker are agreed that he is
an emotional man. That he
is not without guile, how
ever, appears in reports from
well-informed circles that he
admitted to calling all his
targets pink" to some degree
except his former COM
mander-in-chief, Mr.. Tru-
man. This precaution is wise
should the case become a
court-martial matter. He is
also said not to admire
former President Eisenhower.
The major general has had
distinguished company in the
White House woodshed. Back
in August, 1914, the then
President Woodrow Wilson
read in the newspapers that
Admiral Mahan, then on
overseas duty, was urging
Great Britain to attack
Germany and begging the
AuStrians to abandon the
Hapsburg empire. Admiral
Mahan is the Navy idol who
wrote The Influence of
Seapower on History"
President Wilson wrote
Immediately to his Secre-
taries Of War and Navy,
directing them to advise all
officers in uniform not to
discuss and argue inter
national political affairs"
This country was, Of course,
then neutral and striving to
remain so. This is an order"
Mr.. Wilson wrote sternly.
The extension Of the free
dom of the press principle to
overseas bases, which get
little attention at home and
are ruled automatically by
the services, is the fresh and
provocative element in the
Walker picture.

tween the Cubans them
selves"
Five days later-on Mon
day of this week-Secretary
of State RuSk at a press
conference carefully under
lined in a written statement
President Kennedy'S con-
cept of avoiding "inLerven-
ton" in the internal affairs
Of Cuba. He was asked and
answered this question:

statement that we are not
going to intervene in Cuba,
period, mean that this ad-
ministration is abandoning
the traditional reservation
that we reserve the right to
intervene to protect Ameri-
can lives?
a. That particular ques-
ton is one for the future,
and I would not wish to re-
late it particularly to Cuba
because of the debate now 60
ing on in the United Nations
at this very moment"
So it is clear that the
present disturbance is re-
garded here as internal and
there will be no armed Inter
vention" by United States
forces.
Once, however, a new
government is established and
recognized it will be given
any help it needs if requested
from the United States, in
cluding military aid.
If, before any new govern
ment arises, the existing
regime endangers American
lives or attacks the United
States Naval Base at Guam

International, rather than an
internal affair. and is sub
ject to the usual rules Of
International law which sane

Some may still call this

controversy, but in diplomacy
it is merely the exercise Of
an international right in an
International dispute.
If Russia establishes a foot
hold in Cuba, this could be
considered a violation of the
Monroe Doctrine and of de-
fense treaties with Latin
American states. The United
States could resist the Rus
sian move and this. could

ton has to decide Gen.
Walkers fate. 1t and the
American press have to de-
eide whether the same free
dom of the press so jealousy
defended at home should be
denied at the overseas bases
now regarded as necessary
to the defense of liberty.
The Walker types dislike
Overseas Weekly because it
criticizes them, and they also
allege piously that it prints
pin-up pictures and is gen.
orally sensational. For both
reasons, the soldiers natur-
ally like it very much, and it
has managed to survive the
displeasure of the brass.
President Kennedy is in
direct and personal command
of the Walker developments.
Upon reading the Overseas
Weekly disclosures, he asked
Defense Secretary Robert S.
Mcnamara to investigate and
let him know. Army Secre-
tary Elias j. Stahr and Chief
of Staff Lyman Lemnitzer

tions.

Weekly as Immoral, un-
scrupulous, corrupt and de-
structive." The newspaper
Evening star., 1961-04-19

In fairness to President
Kennedy it must be noted
that he never Said-as so
many news stories have i'm
plied-that under no cir
cumstances would the armed
forces of the United States be
sent into Cuba.
What the President did say
at his news conference on
April IL was that the forces
of the United States would
not be employed in any armed
intervention" The key word
is intervention" This, in di-
plomacy, means a direct in
reference or interjection Of
military strength in a dispute
between factions inside a
country where there is no
constituted government.
What Mr.. Kennedy said,
on the other hand, does not
rule out at all a possible land
ing of United States forces at
any time in Cuba or in any
other country in the world
whenever the lives and prop
critics of American citizens
may require protection. Nor
does the Kennedy statement
forecloSe the possibility that,
if a new government arises in
Cuba and formally requests
military aid from the United
States to help protect Ameri-
can lives, this form Of help,
recognized also in interna-
tional law, would be forth
coming.

standings in Latin America.
in the event of later crises in
Cuba, to point out exactly
what the President said at
his news conference. 1t is es-

which he was replying also
be noted. The exchange was
aS follows.
%. Mr.. President, has a
decision been reached on how
far this country would be
willing to go in helping an
anti-CaStro uprising or in
vasion in Cuba? What could
you say with respect to re-
cent developments as far as
the anti-CaStro movements
in Cuba are concerned?

that there will not be under
any conditions an interven-
ton in Cuba by United
States armed forces. This

Presidents Ruling Out of Intervention
Called No Bar to Ultimote Action

Government will do every
thing it possibly can, and I
think it can meet its re-
sponSibilitieS, to make sure
that there are no Americans
involved in any actions in
side Cuba"
The context OF the answer
is related solely to inter
vention"-the giving of help
to one side as against an
other in an internal revolu-
ton. Mr.. Kennedy was speak
ing strictly in conformity
with international law and
historical precedent. Though
the United States has ex-
tended recognition - some
times too Soon-it has never
conceded that it used its
military forces as a matter
of intervention" in the in
ternal affairs of a sovereign
state.
Even in 1903 when a fac
ton inside Colombia seeded
and established an indepen-
dent government and called
it the Republic of Panama
including the area of the
canal - President Theodore
Roosevelt within a few days
recognized the new govern
ment as independent and
gave it armed help. But
there was official inSistence
afterward that the United
States had not "intervened."
Colombia never forgot the
episode and in 1914 a treaty
was signed which was ratified
by Congress in 1921. 1t con-
tained an expression of re-
gret" over the episode and
provided for the payment to
Colombia of a $25 million
indemnity by the United
States as a means of calm
ing the bitterness of feeling
against this country that had
arisen in Latin America as a
result of the recognition of
Panama.
incidentally, President t
Kennedy in his news con-
ference announced: I'VE do
not intend to take any action
with respect to the property
or other economic interests
which American citizens
formerly held in Cuba, other
than formal and normal ne
gotiationS with a free and
independent Cuba.
