Cubon Socialism

1t was at the moment Of the
Playa Giron invasion april, 1861
that Mr.. Fidel Castro first used in
public the word socialism" to
define the Cuban revolution. The
following December he proclaimed
himself "MarxiSt-Leninist." Then,
on 26 March, 1862. in a widely
noted speech Cd he drove out Of
Cuba the Communist leader,
Anibal Escalante, whom he had
entrusted with the secretaryship
Of the organization Of the fu-
ture unified party; az he accused
him Of having wanted to impose
a second straight jacket" a
yoke" Of having attempted to
set afoot mot q free association
Of revolutionaries, but an army of
domesticated. subjugated revolu-
tionaries.
On December 2 he expressed
publicly his disagreement with
Moscow regarding the withdrawal
Of the missiles. Whether the
crisis was internal or interna-
tional, he reaffirmed each time
his socialist beliefs, and he still
invoked them before me during
this long night when he seemed to
talk open-heartedly. And he
specified:
What support did we get during
last October's blockade. while we
were on the brink Of q major con-
flict2 Where had they reported big
mass manifestations in our favorP
What did the "revolutionaries" of
Europe and Latin America doP

then. But the big parties which
claim to be revolutionary did not

Differences With Moscow

I had not seen Mr.. Fidel Castro
for three years. Since then the
events have precipitated. Soviet
oil has come, the United States
has reduced its purchases Of Gu
ban sugar, then Cuba has nation
allied the American firms. WASH

nomic embargo against Cuba, an
attempted invasion has failed at

rious internal turmoil has oc-
CURED, leading the country to the
edge of Stalin-type dictatorship.
Then there was, last fall, the
missile crisis" the naval block
ade decreed by Mr.. Kennedy, the
falling back Of Mr.. Khrushchev.
1t is on this subject that Mr.. Fidel
Castro directs his attack, even be-
fore being asked any question:
I'VE cannot agree with Khru-
shchev," he says, "he shouldn't
have withdrawn his rockets with
out consulting US. Cuba does not
wish to be q pawn on the interna-
tional chessboard. Cuban sover-
eighty is q reality, for which
we have fought. I cannot accept
it that Khrushchev could have
promised Kennedy to withdraw
his rockets without making any
reference to the indispensable
agreement of the Cuban govern
ment.

The Devils Advocates

The impression was especially
acute since earlier In the evening
an aide had given US this ex-
ample Of the Secretary's compre-
hensive. methodical preparation
for battle:
Before he was called before the
Mcclellan (Senate Investigations)
committee TO explain his decision
on the Tx contract, Mr.. Nc
Namara organized what he called
a red team" as Sparring part
ners. II was composed Of four
aeronautical engineers, one at
torney. one cost analysis expert
and one man from an outside
study outfit. The teams Job was

and argument. The exercise went
on for four nights. from 8 10
midnight. Only then did the Sec
retary feel ready 10 take on the

lister fear, by expressing publicly
his disagreement with Moscow,
weakening the position Of the So
cialist camp?
Before taking a decision" he
replied, "I have ascertained the
feelings of the people. ] went to
the university and I walked the
streets to ask the students and
the passersby for their advice. I
found a unanimous feeling: We
should keep the rockets, we should
not yield to threats. and some
even wanted, II necessary, forcibly
to prevent their withdrawal.
Kennedy was running black
mail, to which we should not
yield. and would have retreated If
he had bumped against a firm
attitude. The Cuban people were
very hostile towards KhruShchev's
decision. Their fury was quite
natural, and I understood that I
would appease popular wrath. by
expressing publicly what every
one thought. / said that we
would settle our dispute with
Moscow by means Of government
to-government, party to party
discussions. For we are and shall
remain MarxiSts-Leninists. :"
The tone had grown vehement,
impassioned. The man who spoke
did not want to ignore the inter-
national context in which his
country moved, but his first duty
was toward Cuba. Nevertheless,
he kept his compoSure and, in
order that ! should not miSunder-
stand him, he at once praised
personally Mr.. KhruShchev and
the Soviet people, expressed his
gratitude for the aid they were
giving Cuba, but repeated that
the rockets should not have been
withdrawn without the approval
of the Havana government.

An Admirers EvoIuotion

We told the Secretary about q
highly placed senior officer In the
Pentagon who admires him. The
officer had told us that Mr.. Nc
Namara always" seeks military
advice and almost always" fol-
lows II; that he has a brilliant,
original mind: that he has sup
piled decisive leadership in an Of
flee which lacked II too often In
the past.
But" said the officer. NC
Namara has one weakness. in his
dealings with Congress. He Is right
80 per cent Of the time and be-
ing right that often inevitably
produces resentment. But even In
the few times when he's wrong, he
hates 10 admit It. He'd be better
off II he did, especially In his re-
lations with Congress"
At the dinner table, Mr.. Nc
Namara considered this appraisal.
His first reaction was:
I'D have 10 ask that man when
he thought I was wrong. Then
I'd have 10 examine Ahat situa-
tion and analyze II and come 10
a conclusion"
His second reaction was: "of
course. like anybody else I'm
wrong many times and have no
difficulty admitting IT,"
II was the first reaction one
remembered. As we closed out the
evening In the restaurant we left
with the impression that Robert
Mcnamara finds II difficult 10 be
wrong not because being right all
the time is so crucial To- his ego;
but because being wrong could
shake his view of the world, an
