PAWN IN THE GAME

PAWN IN THE GAME
N ALL THIS excitement over missile bases in Cuba, an
important aspect of the whole situation has been pushed in
the background, and that is the total bankruptcy Of the Castro
regime. Hiding his true designs until the revolution was com.
pleted, Castro wasted no time in announcing that he was a
Marxist-Leninist,a and promptly proceeded to, lead his nation
into that camp.
H REAL TROUBLE with DR.. Castros doctrine, and
his attitude, was not that he wanted communism, but that he
was ready and willing, and then sought the ability from Mos
COW to convert his island into a base for the expectation Of
revolution throughout this hemisphere. Property was confis-
Gated, the church was attacked, and his island turned into an
armed camp. Every vestige of human freedom was brushed
aside, and the process pushed ahrder and harder.
ADMITTED THAT the United States might not have
acted as Cuba desired, and that history had shown that Batista
had set a bad example, that was no reason to embark upon
a course which destined the people Of Cuba to loss Of every
freedom for which they fought. AS a matter of practical
politics, Castro should have recognized that if nothing else,
geography dictated a policy Of at least accommodation with
the rest of the hemisphere, and especially the United States
The economy of that island had been linked closely with the
United States for over half a century.
CUBA sugar, excellent tobacco leaf, and
fine toursm, all of which were purchased by the United
States in the millions. There was an almost shuttle service
between Florlda ana havana, just ~ mleS away. American
corporations and individuals had invested millions and mil
lions. With this as background, Castro could have set out on
a course which would have insured economic gains for his
island,
U to head to Russia, Castro found him
self in the position Of having to send half way around the
world for practically everything, from machinery to baby
food. No one can deny that the United States is the most
highly industrially developed nation in the world, even sur
passing Russia. Add to this the fact that Russia has its own
economic problems, and particularly in agriculture, and it be
comes apparent Immediately how. unfortunate a choice
Castro made.
FINALLY, as the two great nations exchange letters, the

Cuban people must BY now have begun to catch a glimpse
Of the fact that they are a pawn in Russia game. Realistically
Cuba is not worth starting a world war over, and Khrushev

H DAY may come when Cubans will want to run
heir own island, and not be subject towhat somebody in
the Kremln, or anywhere else in the world, for that matter,
says or does.
