Fidel Castro's "total war" against Cuban strongman Fulgencio Batista has been, to date, a total failure. The general strike called for last Wednesday did not materialize as planned, and indications are clearer than ever that Castro does not enjoy widespread support among the Cuban people...
...clearer that the Government will not permit the present recession to become much worse. In fact, the chief argument is already now primarily one of timing of more massive Government intervention as well as of the form this intervention should take-a tax cut, a sharp increase in public works or a combination of the two.
