Why don’t they tell what Bay of Pigs leader had to say? In all the ceremonies, statements and testimony of the “leaders” of the Bay of Pigs invasion as heard over the radio and presented on TV, we saw those who took part in the formation and training of the Playa Giron invading forces since their first initiation by the agents of the CIA. But we were surprised that nothing — I repeat, nothing — was said about the actual head and leader of the Bay of Pigs invaders, the one selected by the CIA and by the vote of the invaders themselves to head the defeated expedition. - He was none other thanJose San Roman, ex-captain of the Cuban army and the one and only recognized Chief of Brigade 2506 (the brigade whose colors were entrusted to President Kennedy for return to Havana at some future date that exists only in the dreams of the sons of the ex-exploiters of the Cuban people). Yes, Jose A. Perez San Roman was the chief of the U.S. §0vernment-ordered Bay of Pigs invasion. All you have to do to verify this fact is to read the New York Times files for a few days before and a few days after April 17, 1961. Why didn’t the pro-imperialist, pro-war forces (who are tight now building up public opinion for a second invasion of Cuba) bring San Roman forward to speak over TV? Because on May 11, 1961, Jose A. Perez San Roman wrote a letter to Premier Fidel Castro, and also one to his own family, to his intimate friends and to the members of the Cuban Revolutionary Democratic Front, in which he declared among many other things that in Cuba there is: 1. “Manifest popular enthusiasm for the revolutionary laws and a hostile attitude by that same people all throughout the republic against those who attempt to overthrow the system under which they live.” 2. “. >. . a notable decrease in unemployment and a marked upward swing in their standard of living, especially ‘Of the agricultural people.” 3. “Extraordinary advance in the industrialization of the Country.” 4. “Elimination of the slums, like the new housing in ‘Las Yaguas’ for Cubans like you and me who have always been living like animals.” ; 5. “A still more surprising advance in the eradication of illiteracy, not on the basis of indoctrination and sending the Children to Russia as the anti-Cuban propaganda is trying to Make you believe, but on the basis of education in Cuba.” After speaking of how naively he let himself be taken for a ride, he finished one of the last paragraphs of his historic letter with ‘these words: ‘We are not even worth the air we breathe in foreign lands. How can we aspire to breathe the air of Cuba?” Need we say more? — JESUS COLON, columnist in the U.S. Worker.

Presenting the latest figures, Rush said the number of trained Canadians going to the U.S. is increasing year by year. In 1961 47,470 moved to the U.S. of whom 5,600 were in the professional category. Rush said there were five Canadians moving to the U.S., the bulk of them with special training, to every one person moving from the U.S. to Canada. The average number of engineers, scientists and other professional moving to the U.S. to take jobs in U.S. industry, research institutes, » universities, etc., has been 4,000 each year during the past 12 years. He said ‘‘Canadians are not only hewars of wood, diggers of ore and storers of water for the U.S. monopolies; we are now al- so exporting our most valuable resource, our most highly trained and skilled human resources. Pointing out that these men and women are moving to the U.S. because the policies of successive Tory and Liberal governments have denied them jobs and op- portunities to help build up Canada, Rush urged a_nation- wide economic program to pro- cess raw materials and build large manufacturing and pro- cesing industries in Canada. He also urged that a halt he put to growing. U.S. domination of Canada’s economy. ‘‘Sooner or later,’’ he said, ‘‘the Canadian people will be compelled in their own interests to process their own raw materials and restore their control over Canada.” He urged students to help make Canadians masters in their own country. Referring to the furore on Cana- dian university campuses over undercover activities of the RC- MP, Rush said the purpose of these activities is to intimidate people and force them to conform. Drawing attention to the fact that the Minister of Justice had so far refused to meet with a del- egation from the University Teachers of Canada, Rush said it was time there was a full airing in Parliament of these activities of the RCMP which are pcsing a threat to the civil rights and liber- ties of Canadians.
