President Believed Convinced the Risks
In u. S. Course Are Worth Taking

Cuba will be "quarantined"
and, in effect blockaded.
The timing of the Presi-
dents conferences and his
decision to summon the
leaders of both political par
ties in Congress were some
thing of a surprise even in
Washington, because Mr..
Kennedy was himself en-
gagged in a campaign trip.
Naturally, there is specula-
ton as to whether the dra-
matte way the whole thing
was handled will have some
relationship to the current
congressional campaign. But
any such relationship. it will
be asserted in administra-
ton circles, is purely COIN
cidental."
The crisis is a serious one
and both parties always tend
to work together in an emer-
gency atmosphere. It so hap
pens that the Republicans
have been making an issue
out of the procrastination
of the White House and the
State Department in the
whole Cuban affair, as the
people Of the country have
shown they were more per-
turbed about it all than Mr..
Kennedy had realized. So
bipartisan agreement now
may be expected on any
steps that become necessary.
The first stage involves, of
course, the customary warn
ing so that not only Cuba
but the Soviet Union may
know that the United States
means business. Unless the
missile bases are dismantled,
the people of this com-
try will continue to feel I'M
easy and may demand that
there be some form of mill
tary occupation.
The big question in the
background has been: What
will the Soviet Union do if
the United States gets tough
with Cuba? The administra-

DAVID LAWRENCE

The climax had to come
sooner or later - and many
people here have felt for
some time that decisive &C
ton with reference to the
Communist build-up of mis-
sile bases in Cuba was long
overdue.
President Kennedy had
sensed recently what ap-
peared to be a universal SEN
timent throughout the coun-
try that a military base 80
miles away from the United
States is intolerable
whether it be called a viola
ton of the Monroe Doctrine
or a direct threat to the Sc
curity of the United States,
itself.
For several months, the
American Government has
known that missile bases
were being built and
equipped in Cuba. But, up to
now, the officially an
nounced assumption has
been that all this was de
fensive" on Cuba's part.
There is, however, little diff
ference actually between a
missile base built for defense
and one built for offensive
purposes.
For reasons best known
to the President, it was here
tofore deemed unwise, how
ever, to characterize the mis-
sile bases as offensive" But
when word of recent ship
ments from the Soviet IN
ions - including Zig h t
bombers was received
from authoritative sources
by the United States Gov
eminent, there no longer
was any reason to hesitate
to call the missile bases in
Cuba by their right name.
Even before the President
announced his intention Of
speaking to the Nation,
Senator Kenneth Heating,
Republican of New York, re-
-ferred to the report he had
publicized recently concern
ing the construction of six
intermediate-range missile
bases in Cuba. He had de-
clared that the missile bases
would have a 1000 to $500
mile range. He said missiles
from these bases could strike
at the heart of the United
States and at the Panama
Canal. Not far away from
Cuba also is the all-impor-
tant base at Cape Canaveral,
Fla.
Under the circumstances,
the President required only
the information that the
Cubans were unquestionably
engaged with Soviet experts
in building an offensive base
with nuclear warheads be-
fore he told the world that
such an operation must be
abolished and that hereafter

Decisive Action on Cuban Issue

ton could not afford to sit
on its hands while ponder
ing possible answers to that
question. 1t became clear
that the Washington Gov
eminent would have to take
the initiative and incur
whatever risks might be nee
essary.
For, in international law,
it has always been recog-
nized that military security
is paramount. A demand
that foreign forces be with
drawn from the island might
we'll be considered only q
first step, with invasion and
occupation as a natural Sc
quel if no satisfaction is OBJ
tanned.
Will the Soviets ever risk
a worldwide conflagration
just to help out Mr.. Castro9
The experts think not. In
fact, without well-corrobor-
ated information on this
point, President Kennedy
doubtless would not have
risked making the public
statement he has now
broadcast to the world.
Mr.. Kennedy has always
insisted that Cuba and Ber-
lin are closely related and
that both situations must be
taken into account as likely
to be connected in the minds
of the men in the Kremlin.
The Soviet Union, of course,
is plenty worried today about
internal problems and about
the aggressive behavior Of
the Red Chinese, who have
invaded India. The last
thing Moscow wants at this
time is a world war, espe-
cially since any likelihood Of
this would produce a restive-
ness in the Communist-bloc
and a major crisis for the
Soviet Union. e..
All in all, President Ken
nedy evidently felt that the
risk of dealing firmly with
Cuba was worth taking =
irrespective of Berlin and
developments in other parts
of the world.

Hypocrisy Charged

The United States President
declared in his speech that if
even a single nuclear bomb
falls on United States territory,
the United States would strike
a retaliatory blow. This state
ment is permeated with n.y.
pocrisy because the Soviet
Union has already repeatedly
declared that not a single So
Wet nuclear bomb would fall
either on the United States or
on any other country. unless an
aggression is committed. Nu-
clear weapons which have been
created by the Soviet people
and are in the hands of the
people, never will be used for
the purposes of aggression.
But If the aggressors touch
off a war, the Soviet Union
would strike a most powerful
retaliatory blow.

The Trainers indeed were

Spingarn recovered the ball

LAST WORD IN UNEXPECTED
Pair Of Sofeties Give
Carroll 40 Victory

Moss Collins has gotten used
to the unexpected in his three
years as'head football coach at
Carroll High School, but yes
terday's game against Fairmont
Heights must qualify as the
last word.
The Lions defeated Fairmont
Heights, 40, at Fairmont
Heights on a pair of safeties in
the first half.
The first two-pointer came
when the Fairmont Heights
center snapped the ball past
Punter Lawrence Jackson and
out of the end zone and the
official whistled the ball dead.
A host Of Carroll tacklers
nailed Percy Drummond in the
end zone for another safety in
the second quarter.
Carroll drove to Fairmont
Heights 3 in the third period
but fumbled. The losers
marched to the Carroll 4 in the
dying moments, but also
fumbled.
