...part they were vague. People expressed uneasiness about "the situation abroad" or the possibility of a war, but rarely did they touch on particular issues, which have been featured in the campaign, such as disarmament, aid to underdeveloped countries, Quemoy and Matsu, or Berlin. Only the possible menace of Fidel Castro and Mr. K seems to have aroused the voters, but even then the answer was usually abrupt--e.g. "the Russians," or "Cuba...
...While Fidel Castro was at economic war with one northern neighbor, he was having no problems at all with a second. In response to a newsman's question last week, Canada's Prime Minister John Diefenbaker said that "Canada has no intention whatsoever of imposing any embargo on Canadian goods in Cuban trade."

And while the spurious debate flickers on about what the U.S. should do (when it can do nothing) so does another sham--the American embargo on Cuba trade. This is a sham, because the major commodities in the once-flourishing Cuba-U.S. trade had already been closed off prior to the embargo, and because American shippers are already transferring the few essential items that Cuba still needs from this country through Canada, which has publicly stated that it will...
