believed that in the coming month, this project will be terminated.

It has been extremely difficult to operate during the

past month

in view of the events of the exchange of prisoners'

negotiations and the developments of the crisis commencing on

22 October with President Kennedy's speech.

The Cuban colony in

this area has since been in a highly emotional state, ranging from

hysterical optimism, to an aggressive pessimism, with

anti-Ane rican

c. In judging the tenor of the. Cuban exile colony at the

end of the

month, it is considered extrerely pessimistic in relation

to the solution of the Cuban problem, which is ultimately interpreted

successful only with the overthrow
