Agrarian Reform in Cuba

| FARM

(The extracts printed below
are taken from the April, 1960
issue of Agriculture Abroad,
published by the Economic
Division of the Department of
Agriculture in Ottawa).

“Cuba’s new Revolutionary
Government introduced the
Agrarian Reform Law in June,
LODO. 2

“One of the first steps taken
in carrying out the Agrarian
Reform Law was the estab-
lishment of a new government
body to take charge of all fea-
tures of the program. This was
the National Agrarian Reform
Institute (I.N.R.A.)”

“Expropriation of large es-
tates is a basic feature of the
it - was initially
estimated: that more _ than
200,000 caballerias (6.6 mil-
lion acres) of land would be
taken from their owners.”

“Thus, the large privately
owned plantations or “latifun-

Cuban scene.”

“The large estates are being
replaced by co-operatives or-
ganized and controlled by
I.N.R.A. The number of these
co-operatives has already pass-

|ed the 764 mark and more are

‘New made-in-Canada
constitution needed”

The Minister of Justice and
10 provincial attorney-generals
—all lawyers—have been sit-
ting behind closed doors in

‘being formed every day.”

“But the trend has been to
keep the large producing es-
tates intact by reorganizing
them into farmers co-opera-
tives. Thus Cuban agriculture
is rapidly becoming state-man-
aged industry. A parallel de-
velopment has been the estab-
lishment of state-run rural co-
operative stores where farm
workers can buy staple foods
and supplies at minimum
prices.”

Se «une. dN-R:A..has xe-
vealed plans to esiablish 500
sugar cane co-operatives on
the 80,000 caballerias (2.7 mil-
lion acres) of cane land which
will be eéxpropriated this
year.”

“The production policy of
I.N.R.A. has been to diversify
Cuban agriculture in order to
avoid the hazards of ‘a one-
crop sugar economy, achieve
greater self-sufficiency, and
save foreign exchange.”

“Plans for 1960 call for an
investment of $156 million in
agriculture, with one-third of

this to be spent for purchase | French

of agricultural machinery.”

Ottawa discussing the constitu-
tion of Canada.

Main business before the
meeting has to do with work-
ing out a plan to end the
ridiculous situation under
which all changes in Canada’s

| constitution, the British North

America Act, have to be ap-
proved .by the British parlia-
ment.

Commenting editorial on the
meeting, the Canadian Tribune
said:

“Canada needs gq new made-
in-Canada constitution, which
will facilitate democratic ad-
vance by our country. There
needs to be a redistribution of
government responsibilities
and taxing powers in line
with the needs of the, sixties
of the 20th century instead of
the sixties of the 19th century.
A Bill of Rights must be
writen into the constitution.

“Questions of this magnitude
are far too important to be
left to closed meetings of top
government leaders. The peo-
ple have the right to decide
what changes should be made
... A new constitution should
be worked out, after nation-
wide democratic discussion, by
a convention fully representa-
tive of the peoples of both our
and English-speaking
nations.”
