Castro's President dismissed the U.S. charges as "unfounded," leaving relations as bad as ever, and at a dangerous time for Cuba. As the State Department is anxiously aware, anti-Castro sentiment is growing in Congress, which early in the next session must write a new Sugar Act allocating the 4,500,000 tons of foreign sugar that the U.S. imports at the premium price...
