While I am of the opinion that the Cuban people generally. are still friendly toward the United States. the diplomatic sins of its leaders are legion. In my judgment it is foolish to declare Castro a mere tool of the Communists. and not recognize him as a practicing Communist. Without any compensation at all he has taken over properties belonging to the United States. his warships in peacetime have fired against American ships. and he has physically mistreated and deported U.S. citizens. including members of our foreign service. He has endangered the security of the entire hemisphere by entering into pacts with the Communists states. thereby establishing a beachhead for Russia in Latin Amer. ica. Red dictatorship is now in full con. trol in Cuba. making it criminal to make statements unfavorable to communism or to the Government.
