Speaker. 2 days ago. the AP carried a story in which Fidel Castro blamed the United States for creating the huge market in illegal drugs and said that we should compensate developing nations for narcotics trafficking. Castros assertion. of course. is absurd. I doubt that he would compensate the United Statesand especially the people of Floridafor the cost of holding his prisoners in our jails and helping Cuban refugees start new lives. I doubt he would compensate the United States and our Caribbean allies for freeing Grenada from Cuban henchmen. I doubt he would compensate those countries facing Cuban troops in Africa or Cubansupported guerrillas in Latin America.
