We do not want. whatever we do. to have those people who are fighting for their freedom lose their dignity by our putting them in the position of mercenaries and not freedom fighters. not people operating in their own country. with their own people. for the freedoms they thought they once had won. Let us take an example of what may be down the road on this beachhead of imperialism. on the land massnot an islandof this hemisphere. I have spoken of the refugees. There are 120 million people between the Rio Grande and Panama. Does anybody here suppose that those people will be fleeing toward their "liberators" in the person of Cubans and Soviets and Bulgarians and East Germans?
