Cuba Faces Twin Threats Of Chaos, Communism
By LEON DENN'E.V
NEA Special Carmpondent
HAVANA INEAI Fidel Castro's
first year is hardly half over and
tne twin threats of chaos and com
munism are already closing in.
The bearded .savior, who strode
out of the Sierra Maestra Moun
tains at the head of his victor
ious i barbudos, still holds high
favor with the mass of Cubans.
But leaders in business and intel
lectual life see immense perils
strewing tne path he must cover
in the immediate months ahead
Here's how they were spelled
out to me in interviews with Cub
ans in all walks of life, from
president down to peasant:
1. Cuba faces widespread eco
nomic distress and disorder. Cas
tro and his key officials have
shown no capacity to deal with
them.
2. The Island rumbles weakly
for a way out of political chaos
as Castro puts off the prospect

They have already strongly infil
trated the army, labor unions and
second echelon government posts.
I found Red Chinese and Rus
sian agents already on the scene.
These dangers are not merely
Cuba s, but America s.
Should the worst happen, we
would find Moscow entrenched in
a stronghold standing near the
throat of the North American con
tinent, 90 miles and just minutes
by jet air from Florida's southern
tip.
Cuba anchors our Panama Ca
nal defenses. At Guantanamo
stands a great U.S. naval base
which in fact guards the whole
southern frontier.
In hard cash terms, the island
represents for' the U.S. $850 mil
lion in investments, $546 million
in annual exports and $528 million
in yearly imports.
Castro, the mercurial 33-year-
old idealist who must stand on
the rising danger, confronts the
job with most of the deep-set pop
ular support he had when he
emerged from the hills in Janu
ary.
He continues the great liber
ator, genuinely loved and re
spected as ousted dictator Ful-
gencio Batista was hated and
feared. Everywhere, in homes and
store Windows, on trucks, push
carts, and the -windshields of Cad
illacs, signs proclaim "gracias Fi
del" (Thank you, Fidel).
Nearly all the Cubans I have
spoken to ordinary people, bank
ers, industrialists, labor leaders.
politicians, members of the rebel
force. President Manuel Urrutia
himself agreed that Castro holds
his country's future in his palm.
Un the credit side they mark
dp these achievements:
He has given Cuba s six millions!
the smell and feel of liberty, and
with it a real sense of independ
ence and dignity.
He has virtually wiped out the
chronic sicknesses of Cuban pub
lic life graft and bribery.
Prostitution, smuggling, the drug
traffic, illegal gambling, all have
been drastically cut or brought
near a standstill.
He has reopened the doors of
the University of Havana, shut by
Batista in rests.
Among his sturdy backers are
many who believe these gains
are an earnest of the future, that
Castro will find the big answers.
Said wise, soft-spoken Pepin
Hoscn, neaa ot tne Bacardi com
pany:
'"Fidel is an idealist who will
go down in history as a liberator.
Given time and little more ex
perience, 1 am convinced he will
face up to the problem of Com
munist influence in his regime."
The Rev. Fduardo Boza Masvi
dal, rector of Villaneuva Univer
sity, joined in: "Castro is a con
vincing man and a sincere ideal
ist, but very emotional."
Yet others, more than just a few.

whether he has the makings of

an instinctive revolutionary
who can neither produce ior en
joy orderly government.
Said a sugar magnate who
barked Castro's revolt with money:
Castro must understand that to
govern a country like Cuba one
needs more than a handsome per
sonality, a beard and a machine
gun. ... A man who aspires to di
rect the destinies of a nation
must have more than good inten
tionsand Castro fails utterly
wnen scored By his ability to mea
sure political realities."
Countless of his loyal follow
ers put the question over and over.
What are his real plans? Where
is he leading Cuba?"
They remember that in 1933 Ba
tista led a "sergeant's revolt"
in the name of democracy and

fisted dictator. Will Castro fulfil!
his promise? Or will he become
a new Batista, or. even worse
see his country stagger and fall
under Communist rule?
The answers lie with the man,
in whose heart the revolution lin
gers. No sign of it, no show of
violence mars Havana's streets
today. The heavily-armed "bar
hudos" are the only reminder that
bloody civil war gripped the island
live months ago.
