Cut In Cuban Sugar Quota U First Slej>
Toward Elimination of Castro Regime
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Still trying to avoid direct in
tervention, the United States
nevertheless has now taken the
first step toward elimination of
the Fidel Castro regime in Cuba.
One step after another now will
have to be taken to prevent the
strategic island, lying across the
hemisphere’s trade routes not
far from the American shore,
from becoming a Communist out
post.
There can be little doubt that
the Communist sphere will re
spond to Castro’s sugar crisis by
taking more and more of the pro
duct in tiade — at Communist
rates of exchange.
They may treat Castro well
now for political purposes, but
they'll have him hooked just the
same.
The United States apparently
has considered this prospect,
along with the outlook that the
hook will be further set if econ
omic sanctions are now set up by
joint action with other American
states, as against the prospect that
Castro can be forced out before
the Soviet Union can move in.
Certainly now the Cubans arc
going to have a chance to judge
whether they profit more from
the revolution, which has helped
a great many of them in short
term ways, but which heads fast
er and faster for economic col
lapse, or from regular relations
with the United States.
As Castro confiscates more and
more foreign business without
hope of paying for it, his odor
will become worse and worse for
the other Latin American states
who need a stable atmosphere in
which to set up various inter
American development programs
row b-'ing established.
These governments are already
backing the Unite i States private
ly—es >ecii 1 insi who will
fill Cuba's shoes as sugar sup
pliers. The question is whether
they will risk the old cry of "im
perialist collaboration” in con
certed action against Castro in
public.
Time after time the American
states have consired gingerly the
establishment of an international ]
police force to handle ini'lam
able situations.
The idea is being kicked around
again, especially in connection
with reports that the Soviet Union
is sending arms to Castro, in
cluding planes, which would have
to be accompanied by technicians
and training cadres as the So
viet Union did in North Korea.
The Reds might refuse to do
this, since it would undermine
their great propaganda campaign
against U.S. bases abroad.
At any rate the United States
will not stand hitched while Cuba
becomes a base for international
Communism, political or military.

Fishermen 'Clean
l |>‘ On Bristol Bay1
Bed Salmon Bun
JUNEAU, iff*—Hordes of red
salmon poured into the nets of
some 1.000 boats working Bristol
Bay and the State Department of
Fish and Game said there were
no indications the run was “peter
ing out.”
Figures prepared by the depart
ment covering the salmon pack
in Bristol Bay through last Sun
day showed a total of 202,746
cases of red salmon had been
packed in that district alone.
A pack of 16,117 cases of king
salmon and 36.409 cases of chum
salmon ran the total Bristol Bay
pack through Sunday to 255,272,
more than twice the pack for the
corresponding period in 1959.
“So far the run has been what
we predicted." commented a very
happy C. L. Anderson, Commis
sioner of the State Department of
Fish and Game
Anderson said the heavy run
of reds has enriched fishermen
by some three million dollars al
ready, figuring a fisherman re
ceives an average of 75 cents a
fish.
Anderson said that some pack
ers have been limiting the num
ber of fish boats could bring in
because "they simply couldn’t
pack fish fast enough.”
“The Bristol Bay situation is
most gratifying to the state from
a financial standpoint,” Anderson
said, pointing out that the state J
benefits financially from each ;
case of salmon packed in Alaska I
during the season.
