We failed again last October when. with every winning card in our hand. with overwhelming popular support in this Nation and throughout the free world. we stopped short of our avowed goal. And the Soviet presence remains in Cubaif. indeed. it does not grow. We have failed. repeatedly. to mobilize the vast antiCastro ferment inside Cuba and to unify with it the selfexiled refugees from Communist tyranny in this country and throughout the hemisphere. In crude terms of strategy. this has meant a shameful waste of valuable resources. and in the more significant terms of moral commitment. we have played cruel games with the hopes and aspirations of all these peopleendlessly proclaiming our desire to see them once more free but failing to follow through .with effective action. We thus cheapen the concept of freedomand irreparably undercut both the material strength and the moral stamina of the forces of freedom.. worldwide.
