Foreign News Commentary

Bj PHIL NEWSOM To Fidel Castro, the moment that should have been one of triumph had turned somber indeed. It was the seventh anniversary of his rise to power and the eve of the “Tri-continental Congress” which had been in the planning since 1961 and which was designed to draw TaHii America into the circle of the Communist-supported Afro-

Asian solidarity movement. In the presence of an estimated 500 delegates to the congress, Castro reviewed a 30minute display of Cuba’s Communist - supplied military strength and then let the blow fall. Red China had reneged on the five-year trade pact, cutting by more than half the rice supplies on which the Cuban people depended for their sharply rationed diet.

In 1966, Red China would supply Cuba with only 135,000 tons of rice as opposed to the 285,000 tons of 1965. For the Cuban people it was especially bitter news. Under rationing, each Cuban has been allowed six pounds of rice per month or about 60 per cent of normal consumption in preCastro times. Now it would be cut still further, for Castro said the country had no money with which to seek supplies elsewhere. The people, he said, would have to find substitutes. In the growing bitterness of the Chinese-Soviet feud, Castro steadfastly has tried to walk a

middle course. But the struggle for leadership fo world Communism has small room for neutrals, and, whatever the published reasons of the Red Chinese, a better explanation seemed clear. So long as Ernest Che Guevara, Castro’s one-time economic minister, remained in power to advocate violent revolution everywhere in Latin America, the Red Chinese had an ally. But Guevara is gone, no one knows where. When Castro’s personal friend, President Ben Bella of Algeria, fell to a coup engineered by Houari Boumedienne, Castro de-

nounced the new regime as a product of “treason.” He further added that such action could mean falling “into the most repulsive political opportunism." The latter widely was regarded as a denunciation of Communist China’s quick recognition of the Boumedienne regime and allegiance to the Soviet Union. A growing coolness toward independence-minded Romania also was looked upon as Castro’s recognition of his dependence upon the Soviet Union to support his increasingly leaky economy. The Soviets earlier had dem-

onstrated their displeasure with Castro’s middle-minded attitude toward the Red Chinese by delaying their own trade agreement with him. Soviet aid to Cuba is estimated at around $300 million per year. Other East European Conummist nations have complained against the burdens placed upon them by aid to Castro. Castro thought he had signed a five-year agreement with the Red Chinese. The Red Chinese disabused him. He cannot exist without Soviet aid, but the tough action by the Chinese has hurt him. Unfortunately, the real sufferers are the Cuban people.

"Why Not? 1

FOLSOM, Calif. UPI—The Folsom Observer, a newspaper at the state prison here, asked convicts about their New Year’s resolutions and one replied: “I resolve to take my case to every court in the country. And if this fails, I resolve to start all over again. Why not? I’ve got plenty of time.”

Actor Campaigns LOS ANGELES UPI — Republican Ronald Reagan, an

old-timer in the movies but a newcomer to politics, today steered a course he hoped would put him in the governor’s chair of the nation’s most populous state. Reagan, 54, formally announced his candidacy Tuesday night for the Republican nomination as California governor in the state’s June 7 primary. The announcement, at a special premier of a 30-minute television broadcast shown over 16 California stations, brought mixed reaction from both fellow Republicans and from Democrats.
