Short of that Draconian solution, Castro is doing what he can for the U.S. Negro. He hired Harlem's aging "Black Eagle," Colonel Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, to buy arms in Europe, and is currently giving Singer Marian Anderson the red-carpet treatment in Havana.

He graduated in medicine from London...
