...days is increasingly Marxist. Aureliano Sanchez Arango, 53, a former Minister of State of Cuba and one of the early fighters against ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista, charges that "while Castro had ideas, he had no program; the Communists gave him the program." The man most responsible is Major Ernesto ("Che") Guevara, 32, an Argentine physician, Castro's best field commander, and a Red. A Castro official recalls that when Guevara returned from a three-month trip around the world in September 1959, "things began to happen." Part One: Brainwashing. One big part of what has happened is brainwashing-sometimes...
Part Two: Collectivization. Under the pretext of preparing for an invasion by U.S. Marines and "gangsters" from "that decadent democracy," the government crowd is herding Cubans into mass institutions-militias, cooperatives, government youth groups, and labor unions. The man in charge of collectivizing the economy is Che Guevara, head of the National Bank.

...citizens had not been confiscated but was fairly paid for, the Department of State said: "To our knowledge not a single American property owner has been reimbursed." Washington listed eight other instances of Cuba's "intense official campaign of slander" against the U.S., among them Economic Czar "Che" Guevara's statement that the U.S.'s $150 million-a-year sugar subsidy to Cuba was actually a "form of slavery." Cuba rejected the U.S. protest...
Before a group of Havana University students-and a countrywide TV audience-Major Ernesto ("Che") Guevara, the scraggly-bearded president of Cuba's National Bank and the top Red in the Castro government, explained that Cuba's 3,000,000-ton sugar quota on the high-priced U.S. market (5? per lb. v. 3? on the world market) was not a good deal at all. Instead, said Che, it was a "deceitful" Yankee device designed to "enslave" Cuba by keeping it a one-crop agricultural country. "The purpose is to preclude the industrial development of this country...
