...President; all week dignitaries dropped in like sun-seeking tourists. Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi, completing a 32-day tour of Canada and the Far East, came for a 90-minute conference on Cuba. Kennedy had hoped to enlist Frondizi's support of sanctions against Fidel Castro, but from a nation that has been notably easygoing against Fidel, he could get no more than agreement on a wrist-slapping resolution (see THE HEMISPHERE). Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon and Budget Director David Bell brought along the fiscal 1963 budget. Kennedy approved a budget that is in balance at more...
Behind the Iron Curtain, the third anniversary of Fidel Castro's victory was greeted with a flood of congratulatory telegrams-including "many requests" from Russian parents for permission to name newborn offspring (Fidel). In Havana, Castro led into the anniversary with another of those speeches bragging about how cleverly he had concealed his Communism in the early days. "If, while we were in the Sierra Maestra, we had said, 'We are Marxist-Leninists,' it is possible that we would never have been able to descend to the lowlands." But among the other nations of the hemisphere, Castro...
...Castro's own braggadocio has somewhat brightened the chances of a joint stand against him at Punta del Este. Before he made his boast, such pivotal Latin American leaders as Argentina's President Arturo Frondizi were dead set against anything-even mere disapproval-that could be construed as intervention. Last week, at Palm Beach on his way home from a world tour, Frondizi wound up 1½ hours of talk with President Kennedy with an agreement that some action should come out of the Uruguay conference...
Frondizi is still opposed to such anti-Castro steps as diplomatic and economic sanctions. His argument is that sanctions would play into Castro's hands by dividing the hemisphere into two debating camps: the seven nations that still maintain contact with Cuba v. the 13 that have broken relations.* As an alternative, Frondizi presented Kennedy with a new version of an idea proposed by Venezuela's President Rómulo Betancourt. Instead of flatly condemning Cuba or Castro by name, each country would be asked to sign a declaration that would set standards-e.g., a freely elected...
Frigid Visage. What happens next-whether Cuba will be blackballed from the OAS, or isolated by sanctions-Frondizi did not say. Yet even this very mild and tentative stand was apparently worrisome to Castro. He sent his Deputy Foreign Affairs Minister Carlos Olivares Sánchez flying through Latin America in an attempt to forestall any action at all at Punta del Este...
