Castro Offers
To “Begin Anew”
On His Ow n Terms
By Robert Berrellez
HAVANA W — Fidel Castro
offered Friday night to “begin
anew” a auest for peace with
President Kennedy’s Administra
tion. But the Cuban Prime Minis
ter made it clear it would be
strictly on his own terms.
The main condition for recon
ciliation laid down by Castro was
a total change in what he label
ed a “mistaken and absurd”
policy of the United States to
ward h i s Communist-oriented
revolutionary regime.
While Castro was laying down
peace terms in a two-hour speech
to followers at the Presidential
Palace, his fiery younger broth
er sounded a belligerent note in
an address at Santiago.
Raul Castro, minister of Cuba’s
armed forces, told supporters that
imperialist dangers still existed
and vowed “20 Yankees” would
fall for every militiaman killed
in defense of Cuba.
Both Castros addressed civilian
soldiers who are being partly de
mobilized after Cuba’s three-week
military alert against a “Yankee
Invasion” that never came.
But despite the presence of
I some 50,000 militiamen at the
Presidential Palace to hear Fidel,
hundreds of others remained on
duty at key posts.
The bearded prime minister
made it plain in his speech that
no changes could be expected in
his regime that might help open
the door to the type of relations
he desires with the new U. S.
Administration.
He suggested that all the dif
ficulties existing between the two
nations were due entirely to the
politics of the Eisenhower Ad
ministration. He asserted the
change-over in Washington did
not mean that the danger of Cuba
or the world at large had dis
appeared.
“The change in the U. S. Ad
ministration.” he said, “only sig
nifies a small hope for humanity
that the government of that
country will rectify, if not all at
least part of the great blunders
and errors of the previous admin
istration.”
