strikingly clear; a speedy scrap-

unqualified recognition that if
such bases in Cuba were a “threat”
to peace, U.S. missile bases (sub-
marine or other) scattered around
the world in a score of countries,
are a much greater threat and
menace to world peace.

That grim reality with its ter-
rible potential of destruction grip-

the Cuban crisis week. It must
not be allowed to happen again.

For Canadians it was indeed a

To protect organized scabbery.

Their use in strikebreaking re-

India’s Pres. Jawaharlal Nehru,

No one should know better than
Nehru that the disputed border

British police official; was an at-

theft that even in the heyday of

n a recent address to the Ameri-

Council, U.S. secretary of state
Dean Rusk exhorted his audience
to get out an drum up exports “on

tion in achieving the aims of U.S.
foreign policy.”

These “aims” are of course well

haviour, via trade, cajolery, intimi-

ter described as bribery), dictating
the internal affairs of other states
and so on. And last, but by no
means least, imposing its ‘‘world
leadership ” with the “big stick”
of the H-Bomb.

In his spiel to U.S. Big Business
to ‘‘get-out-and git,’’ Mr. Rusk also
had a word of warning to “under-
developed” countries striving for
the right of independence and self-
determination.

“We consider it extremely un-
wise for developing nations to al-
ienate foreign investors,” rumbled
Rusk, “by unjustified expropria-
tion of invesments by U.S. capi-
talists.” :

Every “expropriation” of mon-
opoly “investment” whether at
home or abroad, in the eyes of
monopoly and its spokesmen, is
considered “unjustified” as Rusk
puts it. Even WAC of BCER fame
(with an appropriate grin of
course) will go ae with us on
that point?

Si, if Fidel Castro had just left

‘the Cuban economy open to U.S.

ed dictator and Cuban butcher
Batista, Fidel would have been a
