...that no rule of law was involved; his bloody vengeance was fully justified. The trouble was the way "enemies" used it to "slander" Cuba. "Never has such an intense and violent campaign of discredit against Cuba been waged throughout the Americas. We must deprive the enemy of his principal weapon of attack." When would "the proceedings" end? Not, apparently, last week. Before Castro's firing squads went another 28 Batista men, bringing the grand total to 451. Among the new dead: the first judge, Arístides Pérez Andreu, president of Batista's Pinar...
...laying the foundations for that drive toward national prominence and widespread influence which will bring to the HYDC in the years to come its due recognition." One of Winans' specific objectives is to "acquire sufficient prestige and influence within Massachusetts so as to use our endorsement as a major weapon in the fight for more honest government in the Commonwealth."

Only the army has successfully resisted Red penetration, and gone over to the attack. Last April General Nasution, who is not so much pro-Western as pro his country's independence, banned the biggest Red weapon-mass demonstrations- and followed it with an order prohibiting strikes. When SOBSI recklessly decided on a test of strength and called a plantation strike in Sumatra, the army swiftly broke it, arrested eight union officers. In central Java last month, police jailed eleven known Communists, seized caches of small arms and munitions...
