Missiles To Go— But What Now?
By Phil Newsom UPI Foreign News Analyst
A common danger had brought nations of the American hemisphere together. But as the immediate danger receded, the durability of that unity would be tested all over again.
Dramatic as has been the Soviet rollback in Cuba, there still remains another important question: the course now to be followed toward the Communist Cuban regime of Fidel Castro itself.
President Kennedy's firm action had done much to establish and gain sympathy for U.S. leadership.
Chile, previously one of the bigthree Latin American holdouts against any punitive action against Cuba, made a complete switch and gave full support to the U.S. action both in the Organization of American States and in the United Nations.
University Party and Vox Populi will meet tonight in the Kansas Union to discuss election plans.
Campus Parties Will Meet to Make Plans
Candidates running in the primary Nov. 6 and 7 will be introduced to the Vox general assembly meeting at 7:30 in the Pine Room. The UP campus committee will meet with UP candidates at 7 p.m. in the Activities Lounge to discuss the platform.
Music Series Starts At 8 Tomorrow Night
The Vegh Quartet will open the KU Chamber Music Series at 8 p.m. tomorrow in Swarthout Recital Hall.
The members since its founding in 1940 have been Sandon Vegh, first violin; Sandon Zoldy, second violin; Georges Janzer, viola; and Paul Szabo, cello.
Tickets are available at the Murphy Hall box office, Union Ticket Center, and the Bell Music Co.
MEXICO ALSO was showing a marked change of sentiment.
Brazil endorsed the initial U.S. action but served notice it would not support "measures implying an intervention on Cuban territory."
In the dispute, Brazil sought a mediator's role.
CASTRO, HE said, had "emerged as a discredited pawn of Soviet foreign policy."
In Mexico City, where OAS finance ministers have been studying the past and future of the Alliance For Progress program, UPI correspondent Henry Raymont reported a growing sense of shock at Castro's bad faith in secretly accepting Soviet offensive weapons and thus endangering the hemisphere's peace and security.
IT WAS POSSIBLE, too, that the President had new sympathy for even tougher sanctions against the Castro government. Especially would this be true should mounting anti-Castro sentiment in Cuba lead to a new wave of arrests and firing-squade executions.
It also was felt that the past week had damaged Castro's and Moscow's position in Cuba as well as throughout Latin America.
But even as Khrushchev promised to pull back his missiles, he also made clear he had no intention of loosening his grip on Cuba. There was no move to pull out the thousands of Soviet technicians who have taken over every phase of Cuban life nor was there any prospect of free Cuban election.
TO PROMISE to pull back his missiles meant a certain amount of humiliation for Khrushchev. But he still had his Communist bridgehead in the American hemisphere.
That is the question which the United States and its fellow-members of the OAS must ponder now.
