Cuba | gets slow withdrawal ’ OTTAWA. (CP) — Minister Trudeau veneated Tuesday Canada's oab- jections to Cuban military activity in Africa and sald aid to Cuba will be ending soon. _ He reiterated that aid projects are coming to an end and that ‘‘there are no . present plans for any future projects in Cuba.” : Canada granted Cuba $10 million in credit two years go to caver health and animal health services and a further $2.7 million in technica) assistance. The line of credit was at three per cent interest for 30 years. ~ External Affaira Minister Don Jamieson and Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) officials have said this aid is almost used up and will be com- pleted this year. Jamieson hinted at a Com- mons committee a month ago that the government may use aid to Cuba as a lever to force withdrawal of Cuban troops from Africa. He suggested that in future ald discussions the Cuban military presence in Africa would be a stumbling block. But he would not elaborate. CIDA officials indicated no talks are planned - though there are some possible aid projects. - Replying to former prime minister John Diefenbaker in the Commons Tuesday, Trudeau said the aid pregram began before Cuban troops took part in the Angolan civil war and recent fighting in Ethiopia. “There are no present plans for any future projects in Cuba. The present projects are either ter: minated or on the verge of being terminated.” ~ Diefenbaker demanded a tough line on Cuba, but ‘Trudeau said Canada has already said that Canada “disapproves with horror the participation of Cuba troops in Africa.” High-wire surgery successful PITTSBURGH, Pa.
