It is worse because Cuba is in utter thralldom to a foreign power. virtually isolated from the free world and now. in the wake of the Tricontinental Congress. also shut out by its Latin neighbors who want no more of satellite Cubas efforts to export subversion and discord. It is worse because all of the old tools of oppression have been used once morethe systematic stifling of personal liberties. the neighborhood spies. and ultimately. the firing squad. It is worse because the regime has all but destroyed the industrial sector of its economy. lost its professional and managerial classes in an undiminished flow of refugees to our shores. and grown pitifully dependent upon Communist technical assistance. That assistance is a euphemismfor to receive it. Cuba had to sell its birthright and to make a mockery of the vision of Jose Marti.
