Castro Says U. S.
Uses Hitler Line to
Create Confusion
By HAROLD K. MILKS
HAVANA, (#1 — Prime Minister
Fidel Castro said Tuesday he
thinks there is “some similarity”
between United States govern
ment policy and the policies of
Hitler and Mussolini.
The Cuban revolutionary leader
said he wants improved relations
with the United States but that he
is not seeking an interview with
President Eisenhower or Secretary
of State Herter.
Castro’s views as printed in the
semi-official newspaper Revolu
cion were based on what was de
scribed as a clarifying interview
with correspondent Richard Bate
of the Columbia Broadcasting
System.
“I wish for improved relations
with the United States but I
think that the U. S. government
is taking advantage of every op
portunity to create confusion. And
•if there is anyone in the U. S.
government who thinks he can
defeat the Cuban revolution in
this manner, he is mistaken,”
Castro said.
Castro was asked to explain the
insistence by Cuban revolutionary
leaders that “anticommunism is
counterrevolutionary.”
He replied: “I think that Hitler
and Mussolini started to talk
about Communism in order to per
secute all free men, to persecute
every type of justice. Remember
Hitler and Mussolini, Remember
Senor Franco (the Spanish dic
tator), that friend of Eisenhower.
The only thing Franco, Hitler and
Mussolini were accustomed to say
was that they were enemies of
Communism. And while talking of
Communism they attempted to
justify every class of aggression,
and I think there exists today
some similarity in the policy of
the government of the United
States of North America, which
appears to have adopted a policy
that in other times serve dto ad
vance Fascism.”
