...this reason, and because I do not consider it a luxury item, that in my opinion ability to pay should not be the criterion used in assigning rooms.

Unless Russia was prepared to play Santa Claus, the deal could only worsen Cuba's economic plight. Just diverting one-third of this year's harvest to Iron Curtain countries at their prices (3¼? per lb. v. 4? production cost) was enough to slash sugar workers' wages from $1.31 daily...
