JOSEPH KRAFT
InteVentionists' Excuses Seen Forcing
President Into Acting on Dr.. Miro

The latest act Of the Cuban
drama finds the President
in q political box Of his own
making. He has tried to keep
open q range Of options so
wide that he has given coun-
tenance to the foes Of his
policy. These have taken high
ground. first within the ad-
ministration, next in the
Congress and the Republican
opposition, and now-in the
affair Of Miro Cardona---
among the Cuban refugees.
BY their actions they have
forced the President TO close
off precisely the options he
has been so keen TO keep
open.
At the heart Of the trouble
is the Presidents political in
stinct for pre-empting all
possible positions. At times
IN the Alliance for Progress,
and in the prudent handling
OF the missile crisis last fall
he has treated Cuba as q
secondary item on the large
agenda Of relations with
the Soviet Union and Latin
America. At other times
In the 1860 campaign. in the
Bay Of Pigs invasion. and In
his Orange Bowl speech TO
the Cuban Brigade-he gave
the impression that the first
order Of United States busi-
ness was sQuashing Fidel
Castro. The result was an
ambiguous climate. favorable
TO activists who knew what
they wanted.
Compare, for example,
what has happened within
the administration 10 the
best-known advocate Of
Cuban intervention with
what has happened 10 the
leading opponents. John Me-
Cone, the director Of the
Central Intelligence Agency.

Your Hospital

educational programs In nurS-
ing today attempt to provide op-
portunities for students to gain
some degree Of self-understand-
ing. Most educators believe that
success ssful nursing is largely de-
pendent on understanding of
others; that understanding of 9TH
ers is largely dependent on the
degree of misunderstanding; and
that misunderstanding must be
accompanied by some measure of
acceptance of ones self. Getting
acquainted with one's self is not
easy; 1t requires years Of in
trospection. Generally speaking
we pass through life with merely
nodding acquaintance with our
own personalities.
It is little wonder one knows
so little about himself. Consider
the elaborate efforts each Of us
make to disguise our true selves.
Suppose I have a feeling Of hate
for another person. It isn't nice
to hate SO / transfer this feel
ing to the other person. Now he
hates me; I don't hate him. This
is a defense mechanism which
makes me feel more comfortable.
It also serves to hid my true
feelings from myself.
A man, whose wife was Ill, had
a great desire for a new car. He
knew they could LII afford. How
easy 1t was to get rid of any
guilt feelings by assuring him.
self that the car would make life
more pleasant for his sick wife.
BY such methods as these we
go through life with little or no
knowledge of our true feelings
and motives.
According to Frued, however,
"The unconscious will OUT" We
have many clues from day to day
to hidden or disguised feelings.
I remember taking my Aunt
frankie to visit a woman friend
who had suffered a series of mis-
fortunes. Her husband had de-
serted her, her daughter had died,
her son had lost his Job. When
we were leaving, Aunt frankie
patted her on the arm and said,
"Now, remember, II there is
anything can do for you, Don't
call on me-" On another oc-
casion, Aunt frankie remarked
to a departing guest, very dull
and uninteresting lady, "You've
no idea how sorry / am you
came" To protect the privacy of
a patient a nurse assured her that
she would not mention In her
written report the beating the
woman had suffered at the hands
of her husband. Months later
when the two of us were reading
the report, we came upon line
which said, "Her husband beats
her like a child" The nurse was
very sure that she had written
"Treats" not sfBeats."
There was the physician who
considered himself completely
unmercenary. He felt that he was
Interested soley In his patients
welfare. It surprised him to hear
himself saying to a new patient,
eyes, I think I can help you.
I believe you'll be a durable
case"
And there was the newspaper
editorial which read, "For
years we have served the COM
munity selfishly."
I remember with horror tell
ing an acquaintance once, "Your
dress is so unbecoming."
So we move through life, ignor-
ing clues to our true selves, be-
lieving falsely that Ignorance
is b1iss". And In so doing, we
deny ourselves the opportunity
to work toward a greater matur-
ity. Perhaps the fear that we
will not like what we see has a
greater inhibiting force than our
natural curiosity.
