[125]A highly confidential informant who furnished reliable A
[126]information in the past recently advised thafon about February 20, 1963,{5)
[127]Raul Roa, Cuban Foreign Minister, commented that the Sino - Indian : aa
[128]conflict continually bothers Cuba and this conflict worked in the favor *
[129]of the United States in the Fall of 1962.
[131]FOREIGN POLITICAL MATTERS - @UBAs: (Ue Cia INFORMATION
[133]Roa's evaluation of the situation in Cuba. was highly pessimistic.
[135]. Roa stated that the situation has deteriorated; that this was the only thing
[136]: that could have happened because talks at the United Nations, New York,
[137]io did not find an answer to the problem. Roa also observed that conditions
[138]as of February, 1963, were similar to those just before the crisis in the
[139]Fall of 1962, mentioning pirate boat activities, a campaign in the United
[140]States and a statement by President Kennedy which Roa described as
[141]meaningless.

[146]UNECORDED COPY FIED IN/ /-
[148]Roa commented that the United States was the only nation which -
[149]benefited from the crisis. The informant understood that it was Roa's
[150]contention that by excluding the Security Council of the United Nations .
[151]from considering the Cuban situation and permitting the Organization of os
[152]:. American States (OAS) to take up the matter freely, the United States
[154]is now enjoying a very favorable position in the OAS, the best it has closed]

[166]at any time in the Organization. In still referring to what the informant
[167]believed was the OAS, Roa said that the report of the Antisubversive
[168]Committee, now under study by the OAS, contains some definite proposals,
[169]such as a collective breakoff and a breakoff in relations with Cuba including
[170]postal contacts. Roa said it is known officially that Mexico will accept
[171]such resolutions with reservations; Bolivia, Chile and Uruguay will accept
[172]everything; and it is believed that only Brazil will oppose such resolutions.
[173]Cuba, according to Roa, believes that talks between President Kennedy and
[174]President Romulo Betancourt, Venezuela, will establish the action by the

[192]FOREIGN POLITICAL MATTERS - CUBA
[194]Roa also commented that it would have been much better if the
[195]Cuban situation nad been handied by the United Nations Gecurity Council.
[196]Among other things, this would have limited the ability of the OAS.
[197]When it was. suggested that time was working in Cuba's favor, Roa
[198]agreed, saying it permitted internal consolidation, and economic and
[199]organizational endeavors. He also mentioned the differences within
[200]the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the hope for settlement of
[201]differences in the Soviet Bloc and prospects for general relaxing of
[202]strained relations between all countries. — .
[204]Although Rea did not mention the Soviet. Union at any time, it
[205]appeared that he does not now agree with the Soviet Union’s placing
[206]missiles in Cuba ia 1862. Roa's comments during the entire conversation
[207]leit one with the feéling that he was pessimistic, according to.the informant. |
