STEPS UP
WAR DRIVE

Action by the U.S. government and Pentagon in the last few
days have inflamed the cold war and heightened world tensions.

These actions followed on
top of each other:

e Last Friday President
Kennedy asked Congress for
authority to call up 150,000
military reservists using as
an excuse the “critical
nature” of the international
situation. This is the first
time such action has been
taken since a similar call-up
last year when the Pentagon

beat the drums over the Ber- ”

lin situation.

© The second attack on
Cuba by mercenaries, armed
by the —U.S., -took- “place
with an attack on a Cuban
and British ships off Cuba’s
north coast. The attackers
escaped to Miami, Floridia.

e The New China News
Agency announced last week-
end that the Chinese Air
Force shot down a U-2 spy
plane over East China. This is
the second incident involving
the U-2 in the far east in a
few days. Earlier the Soviet
Union protested the flight of
a U-2 over Soviet territory.

e Monday the U.S. an-
nounced that it will resume
atmospheric nuclear tests in

e Large scale military

Turkey for late September.
Hitting at these war games
near the Soviet border, the
London Times said in an
editorial:. ‘The activities of
such a large NATO force in
Greece and Turkey can hard-
ly be expected to escape

THREAT TO CUBA

While reactionary Repub-
licans and Democrats in the
U.S., the big business press,
and right wing labor leaders
were calling for further acts
of aggression against Cuba,
some for outright armed _ in-
tervention, the Soviet Union
warned in a statement that an
attack on Cuba could be the
beginning of a world nuclear

war. It called on the U.S. to

refrain from aggressive ac-

tions against Cuba.

The reappearance of U-2
flights despite earlier “pled-
ges’” by—President Kennedy
that they will be discontinued
has aroused world indigna-
tion. The latest incident in
China has revealed the hol-
lowness of U.S. promises. Less
than three months after the
U-2 incident which broke up
the summit meeting in Paris
in 1960, the U.S. was setting
up spy plane bases in For-
mosa.

The U.S. also maintains U-
2 bases in Japan, Australia,
Britian, Turkey and West
Germany. External Affairs
Minister Howard Green said
that U-2 planes were flying
over Canada on “weather re-
connaissance.”’
