The name is derived from the primary item of Cuban economy—Sugar. Ba^ gazo is a waste product of su gar cane, and the word has come to have the connotative meaning of “good for nothing.” This con notation of “good for nothing” is applicable to Castro’s policy of trying to keep people from leaving Cuba. He warned the peo. pie that they would loose their property if they did not return within a period of 29 days. Many people who did not care about material properties decided to remain poor, but free. At that time, Pan-American and K. L, M. Air Lines had flights con necting Havana with Miami; al though passengers had to have permission of the G-2 (Castro’s Espionage System) to take the plane. Passengers expected to be at the airport four or five hours early. During this time they were Insulted and requested to stay in a very small room without air conditioning. This was known as the“fish-bowl As the people left, they were called “worms”, a name given to people who opposed Castro. Why did Castro continue to allow people to leave Cuba by plane? Mainly because it was part of his policy. As Castro said, “Those who are not liv ing for the ‘welfare’ of the coun try can get out of here.” Some of the population ignored the situation which was forming around them. When some finally faced the situation, it was too late: Air planes would no longer take off from Cuba carrying pas sengers to lands of freedorti. This, however, di not totally sfop the emigration from Cuba. By the Bay of Pigs’ Agreement, the United States would send ships full of medicine to Cuba as ransom for prisoners of war. These ships came back to free soil full of refugees. However, the majority of people are still trying to free themselves from the bonds of Communism.
