MOSCOW, Sept. II fAP).
-FoHoUing is the partial
tert of the Soviet ooUern-
ment statement on Cuba, as
distributed By TGSS::
The Soviet government hai
stated more than once that
carrying through a policy o.
peaceful coexistence with al
countries irrespective Of theil
social-political order, it ha'
exerted and does exert all ef-
forts to safeguard peace for al
the peoples of the world, tc
secure agreement on general
and complete disarmament
under strict international con-
troll.
The government of the
USSR deems it necessary to
draw the attention of the gov
ernments of all countries ano
world opinion to the provoca-
tions the United States Gov
ernment is now staging, provo
cations which might plunge
the world into the disaster OF a
universal world war with the
use of thermonuclear weapons
Bellicose-m minded reactionary
elements Of the United States
have long since been conduct
ing in the United States Con-
gress and in the, American
press an unbridled propaganda
campaign against the Cuban
republic, calling for an attack
on Cuba, an attack on Soviet
ships carrying the necessary
commodities and food to the
Cuban people, in one word.
calling for war.
Politics Suspected
At first the Soviet Union did
not pay special importance 70
this propaganda against peace
believing that all this pro-
vocative clamor was raised IN
the United States in connection
with the preparation for the
conversational elections when
the rival bourgeois parties, the
Republicans and the Demo-
Gratis, as usual in imperialist
states, vie with each other IN
who can hurl more infamies
against the peace forces. -.
Now, however. one cannot
igrore this, because the Presi-
dent of the United States asked
Congress to permit the Gallup
of 10000 Reseryists to the
armed forces of the United
States. Motivating his request,
the President said that the
United States must have the
possibility of rapidly and ef-
fectively reacting in case of
need to a danger that might
arise in any part of the free
world, and that he was taking
such q step in connection with
the strengthening of the armed
forces Of Cuba which they say,
aguavates tension and all but
creates a threat to other coun-
tries.
such a step by the United
States Government cannot be
assessed otherwise than a
screen for aggressive plans and
intentions Of the United States
itself and will inevitably lead to
aggravating the international
atmosphere. -.
The American imperialists
have been alarmed by the fail
ure Of the United States-staged
economic blockade of revolu-
tionary Cuba. They would like
to strange the Cuban people,
to make them their satellite to
wipe out the achievements of
the revolution, accomplished
by the heroic people of Cuba.
To attain these ends they re-
fused to purchase Cuban sugar,
refused to sell to her their
goods. including even medicine
and food; they did not even

other socialist countries, too
and also by other peacelovint
states which maintain trad
relations with Cuba.
Soviet ships carry to Cub;
the goods she needs and return
with commodities she has il
abundance, particularly sugar
which the United States -
previously the main importer
has refused to buy in the hop
of undermining the economy o
the Cuban republic. This i
why the Soviet Union and othe
socialist countries are buyinl
this sugar to support thr
economy of the Cuban state.
