Communists in Latin Ameri-
ca.
Mr.. Castro seemed ready,
after his spring visit to Rus
STA, to try doing things the
Soviet way. He talked to his
people Of hard work and
economy building instead Of
fomenting revolution. He
spoke Of past mistakes and
future remedies and tried to
relay Mr.. Khrushchev's mes
sage that it was time for
Cuba to settle down.
But the warmth of the
visit wore off as Mr.. Castro
realized that he had been CIV
en- a heady reception but
denied an increased level of
aid or control Of the Commu-
mist movement in South
America. He began to urge
again the violent revolutions,
in which most Latin Commu-
nists do not see their future,
and to minimize the construc-
tive domestic efforts, which
are the Russians only hope
Of easing the burden Of Cuba.
Unable to make Cuba a
missile base, a model Com
muniSt state, or even a trac-
table ally, Moscow must
som tim es wonder at the
wisdom Of their involvement
on the island. They can
threaten the flow Of aid and
demonstrate with Mr.. Castro
but they cannot, in the final
analysis, leave Cuba to its
fate.
He, for his part, seems de-
termined to go his own prag-
matte and erratic way, a
course of uncertain a action
that is tanning the exiles'
hopes that his tenure will
soon be ripe for their attack.

the Russians material help

they need him. an authentic

an ally in their theological

Mr.. Castro Is resisting the
test ban as the first step Of a
thaw that is unlikely to in
clude him. He talked of i'm
provin g relations with the
United States last April, be-
fore he went to Russia, and
again in June after he got

thus evinced its determine

Mr.. Castro, whatever comes

His attitude particularly
infuriates loyal Communists

who believe their obligations
as nationalist are at least
matched by their interna-

Long jealous Of the resources
being poured into Cuba, they
are clearly restless at the
prospect that the flow will
continue despite his disloyal-

Central Europe that "the

Mr.. Castro is fast losing

Strong tensions have
clearly developed between
Moscow and Havana, but all
the evidence and most Of the
logic dispute the British re-
ports that the Russians are
preparing to cut their lifeline
Of material support to the
struggling Cubans.
The strains between the
Kremlin and Cuba are much
like those that exist between
the Kennedy administration
and South Wet Nam. Fidel
Castro is responding to the
advice Of the Russians, who
have made his survival posi-
bic, with the same lack Of
grace that has characterized
President Diem's rejection of
the counsels Of his American
benefactors.
Mr.. Diem and Mr.. Castro
have the comfort Of knowing
that the big nations are tied
by prestige and capabilities to
their little countries in spite
of all their ingratitude and
Jintractability. Both places
are footholds in remote con-
tinentS and their abandon
ment would carry a stigma of
defeat which neither of the
major powers can afford.
q Prime Minister Khru-
shchev had planned to go to
Cuba in October and his
trips postponement suggests
the reaction in the Kremlin
to Mr.. Castro's most recent
ntransigence, a refusal to
sign the test ban. Only four
other Communist nations
have similarly refused: Chi
ma and Albania, which are
now out flat against co-exist-
5ence; North Korea and
