ister of industry, who visited

aspects of the industrial develop-

The Republic of Cuba, he said,
is going through a certain re-
Orientation, remedying mistakes
of the initial years when their
desire to build everything im-
Mediately, at one go, led to a
fragmentation of efforts and

__ funds,

Now they are more thoughtfully
taking advantage of their oppor-
tunities, more rationally allocat-
ing forces,

They have begun implementing

enterprises, Guevara said,

He said that the government
of Cuba was attaching great im-
portance to the electrification
of the country, building a whole
series of large andsmaller power
stations with a capacity of 50,000-
60,000 kilowatts each,

Guevara said that great assist-
ance was rendered by the social-
ist countries, above all theSoviet
Union, which helped to develop
such key branches of industry as
power, metallurgy and engineer-
ing.

At the same time Cuba is re-
ceiving assistance from the

Nuclear Siegfried Line
is new threat to peace

That West Germany is a tin-
der box aimed at the heart of
world peace was once again dra-
matically illustrated last week
with disclosure of plans to lay
a ‘nuclear minefield’? across
Europe, s

The plan was first announced
by West German sources and
verified by U.S, Defence Secre-
tary McNamara upon his return
to Washington from the recent
Nato ministerial conference in
Paris,

McNamara stated that Nato’s
commander, U.S, General Lem-
nitzer, had stand-by plans for the
use, ‘funder appropriate condi-
tions,’’ of atomic demolition
charges. in the Nato nuclear

a

stockpile in Western Europe,

In Bonn, West German Defence
Minister von Hassel claimed that
Nato military chiefs had not yet
decided on thenuclear minefields
plan, but admitted that the plan
had been discussed by the Nato
Military Council,

But in London, Britain’s For-
eign Secretary Walker claimed on
his arrival back from Paris: ‘‘I
do not know anything more than
I have read, I had better find out
if it is true before commenting,”’

Both von Hassel’s and Walk-
er’s statements conflicted with
the assertion of McNamara that
plans are already laid and Lem-
nitzer empowered to act as he
sees fit,

If McNamara’s statement is in
fact true (and there seems to
be little reason to doubt it) then
any ‘‘discussion’’ of the‘‘mer-
its’? of such a plan—by Nato or
any other capitalist grouping—is
strictly academic,

Meanwhile, disclosure of the
scheme to create a nuclearSieg-
fried Line along the 625 mile
border with the German Demo-
cratic Republic has aroused a

storm of protest on both sides of
the border,

The influential West German
newspaper Neue Rhein Zeitung
has stated the plan engenders
much alarm and confusion, The
proposal, it points out, would not
only make West Germany more
vulnerable but would also con-
siderably aggrevate the situation
in Europe,

And Neues Deutschland (GDR)
characterized the line as part and
parcel of the ‘‘forward’’ strat-
egy of Bonn’s General Staff,
‘They want to sabotage any re-
laxation of tension,’ it said,
‘‘prevent disarmament and per-
petuate the division of Germany,”’

The plan’s originator is former

‘Hitler General Tretner, notor-

ious for the role he played in
the Spanish War. He was the
captain of Junker squadron K/88,
which carried out the destuction
of Guernica—the first pure‘‘ter-
ror’’ raid on an open town in
human history,

For this and other ‘services’?
for the Third Reich Trettner was
awarded the second highest
decoration when he was 36 years
old,
