Latin American Challenge
"Why have you failed to bring to the attention
of the community you serve the danger inherent in
this nation's disregard of the Monroe Doctrine vio
lation? I would be pleased to read your views on
the subject."
We presume that our questioner refers to the
incursions of communism into Latin America,
and specifically the apparently growing influence
of Russia in Castro's Cuba.
At the risk of appearing less than omniscient,
we'll have to confess to considerable confusion
concerning Latin America. One needs a program
to be able to tell who the players are, and even
then, one can't always tell the good guys from
the bad guys.
Politics south of the border is considerably
different than it is in the United States. There
are a lot of countries, and each is, to a greater or
lesser extent, ditterent
These are some of
to make an informed judgment on what goes on
here. Even the experts get confused, sometimes.
IT takes quite a bit of
affairs in Argentina,
Guiana, British Honduras,
Kica, Cuba, Dominican
Ecuador, b rench Guiana,
duras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay,
Peru, bl Salvador, Uruguay and Venezula.
And our sources of
services and news magazines, because or the
sheer volume of news
days, tend to report on
something out-of-the-ordinary occurs and not
always then.
So the average American, confronted with,
say, news of a coup d'etat in one or the other
of the Latin nations, doesn't know whether it's
the good guys revolting
vice versa.
It's also possible that it might be the bad guys
revolting against other bad guys, too, from our
own standpoint, anyway.
AS for Castro and Cuba, and Soviet involve
ment, several books have been written on
this subject, along with dozens and dozens of
magazine articles.
Once again, as in so
depends on who one is
books and articles are
point of view.
According to those
most reliable, however, the picture we get is this:
Guba has long been exploited, politically and
economically, by the United States : there was in
Cuba (as elsewhere in
spicion ana resentment
lossus of the North as a result; there was deep
hatred of Fulgencio Batista; and the fact that
the u.b. supported Batista, with money, arms
and honor, did not sit well with many, many
Latinos.
X7HEN Castro and his motley guerillas came
" out of the Sierra Madre, they swept into
power far faster than anyone would have be
lieved possible. And in the first months of their
power, they initiated a true revolution and a
popular one involving redistribution of agricul
tural lands, and many other long-overdue re
forms. Some will claim that Castro was then, and
even earlier, a Communist, out and out. But avail
able evidence, as assessed by sober and factual
reporters, does not confirm this.
Rather, it would appear that Castro began to
turn to Russia only after his initial rebuffs by the
United States, and, meeting with eager assur
ance of help from the Soviets, has since gone in
that direction faster and faster.

Matter of Fact
WAITING FOR KENNEDY
Bonn - Chancellor Aden
auer, anxiously, impatiently
waiting for the first sign of
the new direc
tion in Wash
ington, is a
symbol of the
whole West-
k 'V V P ern alliance.
. -J f Under t h r
.. t i f
A acceptance of
f yf President
RaaA JsVaa E i s enhower's
Joseph Alsop leadership, ea
gerness for a new direction
in Washington has been vis
ibly growing in every major
Western capital for a matter
of years. The fact that this
eagerness is known to be
shared by the German Chan
cellor, the special intimate of
the late John Foster Dulles,
speaks volumes in itself.
Initially, it must be added.
Chancellor Adenauer hoped
that the man who would give
the new direction would be
Vice President Nixon. His
concern was so great, in fact,
that he took the unusual meas
ure of sending his minister
of information, Felix von
Eckardt, on a mission to the
United States at the begin
ning of the presidential cam
paign. Von Eckardt went, in
effect, as the special political
reporter of the German gov
ernment. VON Eckardt returned after
an extensive inquiry, which
culminated in long private
talks with both the Republi
can and ,.Uemocralic candi
dates. He predicted the vic
tory of President-elect Ken
nedy. Perhaps more impor
tant, he also told Adenauer
that he could stop worrying,
because Kennedy could be
counted on for vigorous and
firm leadership of the West.
The cause of the Chancel
lor's previous worry about the
election of Kennedy was, quite
simply, his expectation that
Adlai Stevenson was destined
to be Kennedy's secretary of
state. Adenauer deeply dis
trusts Stevenson because he
is convinced that Stevenson
actually holds the distinctly
soft views on Berlin and other
problems which were attribut
ed to him by the French news
paperman who published an
unauthorized interview last
spring.
Apparently von Eckardt
was in a position to report
that Stevenson was unlikely
to be Kennedy's secretary of
state. In this connection, it is
worth noting that the precise
aspect of Stevenson which
most alarmed Adenauer -his
view on Berlin - also appears
to have been the aspect which
made Kennedy reluctant to
name Stevenson to the secre
taryship.
,
riMlE crucial episode in the
Stevenson . Kennedy rela
tionship, it can be said, was
Stevenson s journey to con
fer with Kennedy at Hyannis
just after the Democratic con
vention. Stevenson then ad
vised the kind of compromise
at Berlin which would have
left the freedom of the city
quite largely dependent on the
reliability and good faith of
Soviet guarantees. Kennedy's
reaction to this advice may
be judged by the post-election
statement on Berlin which he
made for European consump
tion - certainly the most un
compromising statement made
on this topic since the Berlin
crisis began two years ago.
That Kennedy statement,
added to von Ecknrd s person
al report, are the main reasons
why optimism about the Ken
nedy administration is now
heard on all sides in Bonn.
where a Republican defeat
used to be almost as much
feared as in Formosa. A lesser
reason is the extremely mala
droit performance of the re
cent mission headed by Sec
retary Anderson, Ironically,
;li is is supposed to have led
Chancellor Adenauer, now a
vigorous 84, to remark that
the American government
'St
the cth eb aothers and
By Joseph Alsop
"evidently needed rejuvena
tion." The degree of confidence
that the German government
now tentatively gives to the
new American leadership may
be judged, in turn, by one of
the ideas about the next round
in the Berlin crisis that is
now being considered in high
quarters here.
rpHE Chancellor and his min--
istcrs agree that the next
nun J cannot be indefinitely
put off. Nlkita S. Khrushchev
has said as much, with great
emphasis, to the German am
bassador in Moscow. But after
swearing that he would sign
a separate peace treaty with
his East German puppets if
he were kept waiting too long,
Khrushchev also said he
would be content if negotia
tions were renewed in the
spring. He also seemed to in
dicate that the mere renewal
of negotiations would be
enough to satisfy him.
Obviously, however, a se
riously prepared summit meet
ing cannot take place so soon
after the new American gov
ernment has been formed.
Equally obviously, not much
can be hoped from a resump
tion of the Foreign Ministers'
talks about Berlin. Hence one
idea now current here is that
the next round should begin
with a simple Khrushchev-
Kennedy meeting, not of long
duration, not for active bar
gaining purposes, but solely to
allow the two men to take
each other's measure.
If Bonn were not optimistic
about Kennedy, such an idea
for a new start would not
even be considered here.

CASTROISM
EXPORT BRAND
Mexico City - Castroism-by-export
is a growing peril
throughout Latin America.
The Castro revolution may
well be losing some appeal to
the Cubans, but it still exerts
a dangerous appeal to the peo
ple of the whole Caribbean
area - and beyond.
The most dangerous period
Is still ahead. The consensus
is that in attempting to step
up rebellion beyond his bor
ders, the Cuban dictator is in
large part acting out of des
peration. The impact of Castroism is
visible even here in Mexico,
the most stable, mature, and
prosperous of all the South
American republics. This will
be the subject of another col
umn, but first I want to give
an over-all picture of the dan
gers which are rapidly devel
oping from Cuba's mounting
efforts to export Castroism Dy
force to other Latin American
countries.
e
THOSE who are close to
events, both in Cuba and
throughout Latin America, be
lieve that the following is a
careful statement of the facts
and they are foreboding:
1 - Like most dictators Cas
tro has come to feel that he
must expand his revolution
abroad in order to retain his
hold at home. He has come to
see his own security - and
the security of his regime -as
bound up in his ability to
impose, by force if necessary,
a Castro brand of revolution
upon his neighbors.
2 - Whatever his earlier in
tentions, Castro has become a
firm and obedient front to the
Soviet Union. This is evident
in Mexico City where the Cu
ban diplomatic staff is an ad
junct to the Soviet Embassy.
Often Cuban diplomats have
been seen going direct from
the airport to Soviet head
quarters. The export of Castroism by
force is being carried out un
der Soviet direction by Soviet
arms to serve Soviet purposes.
Castro has made them his
own. On the outside of the
package the "export" is mark
ed "Gift from Cuba." On the
inside it is clearly "Made in
Moscow."
3 - Whatever difficulties Fi
del may be accumulating at
home, his capacity to make
trouble outside Cuba is very
great. Before it can be con
tained, it may well produce
some Castro-type satellites for
the use of the Communist
bloc.
PASTRO has today the arms.
the men, and the will to
try to ignite revolutions in
half-a-dozen or more of his
reachable neighbors as he has
already tried, temporarily un
successfully in Guatemala and
Nicaragua, plus a few passes
at Honduras. El Salvador and
oil-rich Venezuela are inviting
targets. There are also Bo
livia, Peru, and Ecuador. None
of these governments can be
sure they are strong enough
to resist what a Soviet-aided
Cuba can recklessly throw in
to a series of fomented rebel
lions. 4 - Castro literally has
arms to give away. He has
20.000 tons of Communist-bloc
munitions. These include eight
MIG fighter planes. Soviet
tanks, helicopters, and more
than 100,000 automatic rifles
and machine guns, all acquir
ed in recent months This is
in addition to the stores of
military equipment captured
from the Batista forces. The
Cuban leader has a militia
twice the size maintained by
Batista and arms supplies far
greater than anything he
could use at home. From a
military standpoint, he is not
denuding the home front to
Invite outsiders either "to
come and get it" or to try
surreptitiously to shift these
arms to rhem - over and
around units of the U. S. fleet.
uestion Now Appearing Is More
I Than State's Rights
The states now are inferior
to the federal government and
have no rights in opposition
to the federal government in
large and expanding areas of
national life. That may be
good or bad, according to the
point of view, but it is a fact.
The city - rural political
struggle is developing now on
several fronts, all increasing
ly active.
Effect on Presidency
The Electoral Front: The
big, industrial city vote ab
sorbs, overcomes and nullifies
the rural votes in the larger
states in almost any presi
dential election. On the pre
vailing winner-take-all elec
toral college basis, the big
cities enjoy an advantage
which some persons deem to
be both unfair and unde
sirable.
Amendment of the Constitu
tion is proposed to correct this
situation. Sen. Karl E. Mundt,

In the Day's News
By FRANK
From Sacramento:
A mild outbreak of gold
fever may be imminent in
California's mother lode be
cause of the nation's decreas
ing gold supply. Bruce Allen,
of Los Gatos, chairman of
an assembly interim commit
tee on manufacturing, oil and
mining, says: "Concern over
U.S. gold reserves has receiv
ed particular attention in Cali
fornia, where a large propor
tion of the nation's gold de
posits are located."
QUESTION:
How big is California's
gold mining industry?
It isn't very big. The Sacra
mento dispatch adds:
"At the moment, Califor
nia's gold industry consists
of five dredges working in
the Marysville - Sacramento
area and two medium-size
mines in Sierra county. The
Division of Mines reports that
there are also claims scattered
over Northern California."
The report says:
"These claims are normally
worked by one or two men
when the weather permits.
When the weather is unfavor
able, the work stops."
WHY so little mining?
It isn't that there is no
gold left in California. There
is a lot of it in the ground.
There's a lot of it left in
Southern Oregon. But, at pres
ent day wages and cost of
living that makes the high
It is not safe to assume that
it cannot be done.
5 - The recent Castro-supported
rebellions are only the
beginnings of larger adven
tures. Fidel's first failures are
not very encouraging. Castro
can - and many believe he
will - take the greatest risks
in tryine to acquire some sat
ellite, Communist-oriented al
lies because the risks are less
than trying to survive alone.
Castro can sprinkle his arms
and agents over a wide Latin
American area and even if
successful in only one or two
countries. Castroism would be
gainer. Castro would be the
little winner -Khrushchev the
big winner.
nPHE consequences of export-
1 ed Castroism are intended
to be and would be a spread
ing Communist base in the
Western hemisphere, disunity
among the American repub
lics, disintegration of the Or
ganization of American states,
and on top of it all a massive
hemisphere-wide anti-U.S. cru
sade which would make the
violent attacks on Vice-President
Nixon look like nursery
stuff.
In the fact of this ominous
prospect. President Eisenhow
er and President-elect Ken
nedy will need to work in
close concert lest Castro
should feel he could use the

ple, would be represented by

less of the size of the Demo
cratic majority which might
be run up in that state's in
dustrial metropolis. A resolu
tion proposing this amend
ment will be submitted to the
new Congress.
The Legislative Front: This
really is two fronts on both
of which the rural voters have
an advantage. By gerrymand
er andor failure to re-district
to conform to population
growth, rural voters have
come to be more adequately
represented in Congress and
state legislatures than are city
folk. Gerrymander, however,
can work both ways.
Major Court Case
The Supreme Court has ac
cepted for consideration a dis
pute arising in Tennessee
where there has been no re
districting since 1901 for seats
The new constitution, he
said, would recognize that
"the citizen has the undeni
able right to work and acquire
an equivalent Jor his work."
Still a Communist
The announcement made
Tito no less a Communist than
Nikita Khrushchev or Mao
Tse-tung, and Yugoslavia no
less a Communist state. But it
was sure to draw the anger
of both Moscow and Peiping,
who themselves are engaged
in a struggle over interpreta
tion of Communist doctrine.
In the Communist lexicon,
Tito is a "revisionist," which
means that on his own road
to socialism he departs from
the sacred teachings of Marx
and Lenin.
On the other end of the
JENKINS
wage scale unavoidable, the
established price of $35 an
ounce doesn't leave much
profit in the great majority
of cases.
WHAT to do?
A lot of people (espe
cially thise interested in min
ing) say RAISE THE PRICE
OF GOLD. The figure most
discussed seems to be $105
an ounce. At that price, it is
asserted, gold mining would
again become profitable and
a lot of it would be taken
out of the ground to be added
to the nation's dwindling gold
reserves. '
It sounds interesting. But,
as is so often the case, there's
a catch to it. Tripling the
established price of gold
would amount simply to infla-tion-that
is to say, MORE
money, worth LESS. So, as
the price of gold went up,
the. cost of getting it out of
the ground would go up cor
respondingly, and in the long
run nobody would be any
better off. It would be just
another case of the cat chas
ing Its tail.
QPEAKING of money, Call
-J fornia's state director of
finance, John E. Carr, says
this morning: "Californians
are saving MORE money,
spending LESS money and re
fusing to BORROW money."
Is that bad?
At the first blush, it sounds
that way. But let's get on
with the financial news.

islatures on last Nov. 8.
"The trend," reported the
News, "was a return to con
servative domination of leg-islatures-a
domination built
on legislative districts, which
deny residents of big indus
trial cities their proportionate
share of state representatives
and senators.".

Moscow, is the refusal to adapt

Tito first earned Stalin's
ire when he held that there
were different roads to so
cialism. Now he defies Moscow to
declare that the state can be

rates are low, people tend to
save less and spend more. The
simple fact is that money is

there will be plenty of money
saved up again to lend to
people who are in a position
to make constructive use of
it. That will be GOOD.
