They felt that Cuba should be brought under the embargo provisions of the law and the President of the United States even went so far as to use the Trading With the Enemy Act. on my request. to see to it that third nations would not be able to import cigars into this country. cigars made from Cuban tobacco. And the other day the President issued an order that money orders could not be mailed to the Cuban people. which had amounted to half a million dollars a year. in order to prevent the drain of dollars. Yet we find the administration now issuing visas to exiles. to refugees. to permit them to go to Fidel Castros Cuba and to negotiate the matter of the payment of over $60 million. four times as much as Fidel Castro asked for in tractors. the last time. in order to provide Castro with the dollars that he needs to keep communism going in Cuba.
