Red Cuba in Trouble

Dictator Fidel Castro'S Red tyranny
in Havana is making such a desperate
mess of things in Cuba that serious and
potentially explosive discomfort is in
creaSing everywhere throughout that
Sorely betrayed land. As one result, &C
cording to official admission, major acts
OF sabotage are on the rise and Com
muniSt militiamen are being shot down,
in ever-growing numbers, by so-called
counter-revolutionar
The mess is clear enough. The cap
tive Cuban people have not only been
robbed of all their fundamental liberties
such as free press and free elections
but they also have had imposed upon
them drastic rationing programs taking
food out Of their mouths and making
1t exceedingly hard for them to get
things like shoes and clothing. Quite
obviously everything has gone from bad
to worse since the overthrow of Fulgen-
clio BatiSta and the subsequent COM
munization Of the country as carried
out by F'idel and his co-conspirators-
with the enthusiastic help of Moscow
and Peiping.
Havana itself, Of course, once gay,
once thriving, has become a grim and
relatively dead city whose former tourist
business (highly profitable) has been
quite thoroughly killed off by the Castro
dictatorship. AS for Cuba'S economy as
a whole, it has undergone a steady de-
terioration-to the point of catastrophe
ever since the Communist seizure, con-
fiScation and "collectivization" of the
sugar cane fields and a wide variety of
formerly efficient and booming indus
tries (many Of them directed by some of
our own country's best corporationS).
These have been so shockingly miSman-
aged under Fidel that they are in state
of near-chaoS.
This is one Of the major findings
set forth in what appears to be an au-
thentic copy Of special study made for
the Castro regime by group of Com
munist experts Including some from
CzechoSlovakia). The study, according
to Cuban exile group in Miami, is not
the invention of propagandiSts seeking
to diScredit the Havana regime, but is
actually the work of Red economists.
1t is doubly significant for that reason
MarxiSt-LeniniSt document that con-
dennis, in effect, the way Fidel, Ernesto
Guevara and Havana'S other bearded
comrades are running Cuba'S economy
In any case, the study released by
the Miami group leaves no room for
doubt that Castro and his colleagues
are caught up in an economic Shambles
OF the first magnitude-a Shambles of
their own making. AS doctrinaire Com
muniStS, they have swept away private
enterprise and substituted in it's place
an absolutely diSorderly situation re-
Sulting primarily from party-line mis-
management of kind that has led in
turn to almost unbelievable stupidities.
So it is that Red Cuba today is in
the deepest kind of trouble. The people
of the country have been outrageously
misled by the insufferably loquacious
Fidel. Worse still, they have been dragged
and dragooned along a politico-eco-
nomic road that will lead them to dis
aSter unless somehow, some day, before
it is too late, they liberate themselves
from the Castro incubus.

prudent assumption that
the tax cut might fail of it's
intended effect. And on the
prudent assumption it is
proper to raise the question
whether, in view of the pres
ent Governme n t circum-
stances (such as the $500 bill
lion existing debit, it is wise
to go further into debt on the
gamble that the tax cut will
pay off. This is indeed the
way DR.. Gallup put the ques-
ton to the American people.
I am frightened by the
spectacle of President Ken
nedy-the man who is in
charge of our Governments
finances and who exercises
such an enormous influence
on the fortunes of our econ
omy-accepting the doctrin-
aire, sure-thing attitud e
about economic theories, and
thus counting the hoped-for
results of proposed programs
as If they were fully Matched
actualities. If such an atti-
tude is allowed to prevail, not
only will we be risking Gov
eminent finances recklessly,
but the very projects upon
which we will be risking them
will have less and less chance
Of succeeding in their aim.
For once the distinction be-
teen facts and hopes is
blurred or lost, the incentive
and the discipline for care
full and reasoned predictions
about the future, on the basis
of an exhaustive analysis of
available present facts, are
also lost. Take away the
bankers financial caution,
and the promoter will see no
need of producing facts and
figures to back his expecta-
tions. He will instead give
free rein to his widest hopes.

Fabian Socialism

The following was uncov-
cred by Senator Strom Thur
mond in connection with his
investigation into "Muzzling
the Military:
In one Of his speeches,
General Trudeau proposed to
say: I'VE will be blocked and
harassed not only by selfish
interests who are unable to
rise to the occasion, but by
the Fabian Socialists and
Communists who. most Of all,
fear the power Of an aroused
America that seizes the initia-
tive in the present struggle"
Our State Department de-
leted&he reference to Fabian
Socialists.
In another speech. Gen.
eral Trudeau proposed to
say: ION such theories So
cialiSm thriveS."
State Department deleted
the sentence and added in
the margin: Some of our
best friends are Socialists"
From the foregoing, it is
obvious that the attitude of
our State Department to-
ward Fabian Socialism is not
one of disapproval. There
fore, it behooves every Ameri-
can citizen to learn the ten
cts of Fabian Socialism.
Prior to September, 1860,
a group of Harvard graduates

doctrinaire's habit of treat
ing theoretical hopes on a
par with present actualities.
The nature of the confusion
may be Illustrated by this
story: A man comes to a
banker and asks for money
to invest in a scheme. The
banker asks whether the man
in his present circumstances
can afford to go into heavy
debt on a risky scheme which
may or may not pay off.
What riSks!" exclaimS the
man. This is a sure thing.
And as for going into debt,
this is not going to put me
really in debt-it's going to
make my fortune"
The moral of the story is
not that one should not go
into debt on a scheme to
make money, but rather that
in going into debt one should
take a prudential view and
assume the possibility of the
scheme going sour. Only
when one feels that he can
afford to be saddled with the
debt in the case of failure is
it wise for him to go ahead.
Any other course puts the
businessman in the same
class with Estes, Gilbert and
other "sure-thing" Specu-
lators.
The same moral applies to
reasoning about a tax cut in
the hope of stimulating the
economy and thus ultimately
increasing Government reve-
nues. With all due respect to
the Keynesian economists,
the question whether a tax
cut will produce the hoped
for effect does not admit of
a sure-thing answer. This
does not mean that the Gov
eminent land people, should
not consider embarking on a
tax cut, But surely the con-
sideration should include the

Fun at the Fair

My husband and I have
just come. back from the
Seattle Worlds Fair. We are
surprised that so little has
been written about it, that
most people vaguely know
about it. Anyone contem-
plating a vacation and not
having seen the northwest
country has missed a lot.
We enjoyed flying there
and taking a bus through the
Redwood Empire to San
Francisco. It's a wonderful
experience. I've travelled in
my time, but this trip was
the most enjoyable one.

it safe to set out perennial
plants?-P. H.
A. One of the country's,
largest nurseries says that
planting may continue until
the ground is frozen hard,
but that earlier planting is
recommended. Iris, peoples,
peonies and lemon lilies may
be planted from August on,
and other perennials in late
September. Shrubs may be
planted in late September or

THE HIDDEN REMNANT +

Gerald SYKES. 241pp. liar
per q Brothers. So
Just what is "the hidden
remnant?" Until rather near
the end Of Gerald Sykes
book that takes that striking
phrase for its title, it is very
difficult to say. For Mr.
Sykes persists in defining the
upper-case Remnant by met
aphor and analogy. This tells
us what 1t is like, not what II
is.
Then we finally have it
". a Remnant means
in the sense in which it Is
used here, a group of people
who have survived or can
survive a great cataStro-
phe :"
Inc catastrophe Is the
modern condition in general
and the all-too-frequent loss
OF value and self-identity in
particular. The effects are all
about us. The Remnant being
the self-reliant few who
have been able to leave Eden
without regrets" can face life
as it is and seek a way out by
the unflinching acceptance OF
the facts Of human existence
as they are revealed not only
by Freud. Adler, Jung, Rank,
ct al, but by Vedanta and
Zen as well.
Mr.. Sykes, who has pub
lished several books and
whose work has appeared in
a number of magazines like
Harper's. The Nation, Part
isan Review and the Report
er, begins with a clay analy-
sis of modern psychology,
which might also be called a
consumers research report
on pSychoanalysis."
He then turns to the the
illogical. philosophical and lit
erary "oppoSition"-a harsh
and perhaps sensational word
- and concludes with a more
or less prescriptive section.
MIR. SKYES, like m any
others, assumes that human
ity is presently in the poorest
condition of its brief career.
No one would care to deny
that the available tools for
evil do indeed represent con-
siderable progress" over the
past. 1t is clear that the need
for control of our destructive
tendencies is greater than
ever before. Whether or not
these tendencies are them
selves stronger than hereto
fore is a question not so
readily answered. The as
sumption that they are may
possibly result in some dis
tortion.
In any case, here we are.
And we need a villain for the
piece. Enter the product of a
tough-minded approach to
life and the observable world,
the scientist. This is unfor-
tunate and unnecessary. For
his insistence to the contrary
notwithstanding, Mr.. Sykes
has nothing whatever against
tough-mindedness and SCI
ence except possibly a poor
and painful attempted educa-
ton in the latter. (Reading
books about psychology sets
one searching for a hidden
motive.)
He really is against some
thing else, namely a simple
minded, nationalist determi-
nism that breathed its last be-
fore the end Of the 18th CEN

public will benefit. Not only
will a seller have full informa.
ton on his property dissent
mated, thereby fully exposing 1t
to the market, but a buyer will
be saved an extensive amount
of time in looking at properties.
He will really experience a
"one-stop shop" because each
agent will have complete, up.to-
date information right at his
finger tips.
The speed with which infor-
nation will be distributed to
the offices will come about
through the efficient operation
of the board staff. Bulletins
will be prepared for the sales
people and sent out weekly, or
bi.weekly. These will contain
all pertinent data as well as
last minute additions, correc-
tons, and sales.
In commenting on the new
operation, Raffell stated, I'VE
are now really going into orbit.
This newest phase of marketing
real estate, and giving full
exposure to all properties listed,
will cut at least 10 per cent on
the time spent by each sales
man running through his files
to get up.to-date information.
With 1000 sales people in the
field, this can save 1000 man
hours per week. It is easy to
see how the public will benefit"
Raffell said he wished to
commend the multiple listing
committee which worked on this
project, specifically, Robert H.
Kent and j. A. Kessinger.
Inauguration of the service
will take place over a gradual
period of time In order to be
entirely effective by the first of
the year.
