...they leave? In Miami, where most of the refugees were flown, one said: "We were superhungry." A mother said that she did not want her child "to grow up under Communism," and others complained of arduous working conditions. While it is true that the U.S. and Cuba reached an agreement in 1965 under which 132,421 Cubans so far have left for the U.S., the average Cuban applicant must put in one to two years as an unpaid agricultural laborer until his name comes up on the list.

Tito's Yugoslavia builds Fiats under a licensing arrangement, and Poland recently signed a similar agreement to build "Polski-Fiats." Russia has hired Fiat to help it construct and run an $800 million plant at Togliattigrad on the Volga. The huge plant is scheduled to begin producing Fiats by early 1970, and work up to an annual output of 600,000. "It is hard for Italian Communists to complain about Agnelli," says Rome University Economist Paolo Sylos-Labini. "After all, if Fiat...
