I know that President Johnson is resolute against the exportation of Castroism to the hemisphere. and will do all that is morally and legally proper to assure the speedy dethroning of that despot. The Cuban national anthem contains lines that describe the anguish of that nation today: To live in chains Is to live submitted to opproblum and affront. The Cuban refugees who streamed to Florida shores and the brave souls who today fight from the mountains give evidence that the fires of liberty still burn among Cubans. Every effort must be made by the allies of this hemisphere to contain. and then erase. the Castro infamy. Our other friends in the free world must now realize that Castro is not a comicopera tyrant. a Lilliputian kicking the shins of the giant to the north. for the forces behind Castro are a threat. not only to the people of Cuba. but also to all in this hemisphere.
