Cuba Is Behind Much Trouble In Latin America, Solon Says
By REP. L. H. FOUNTAIN
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
. . .When we found out
that Cuba, a country with
which we had diplomatic
relations, was using those
relations to prepare a
group of guerrillas to come
and fight against the
government, it was a kind
of Pearl Harbor for us. It
was like sending ministers
to Washington at the same
time you are about to bomb
ships in Hawaii."
Those words, spoken
only last August by
President Turbay of Co
lumbia, South America,
illustrate all too clearly the
real intentions of Commun
ist Cuba toward Colombia,
and toward a good portion
of the rest of South and
Central America.
Since coming to power in
Cuba over 20 years ago,
Castro has tried to spread
Cuba's influence in any

way possible throughout
Latin America. But, since
1978, Castro's plans appear
to have become more
daring, more violent and
more dangerous.
This latest round of
meddling started with
Cuba's backing of the
Marxist-oriented Sandin
istas - the group which is
systematically crushing
freedoms in Nicaragua
The Cubans have also
helped organize terror and
subversion in El Salvador,
Guatemala, Costa Rica,
Honduras, Jamaica. Gu
yana, Grenada, the Domin
ican Republic, Columbia.
Chile, Argentina, and
Uruguay.
With this sort of wide
spread support for vio
lence and terror, it is clear
that Cuba poses a serious
threat to peace in the
region as well as an
ultimate threat to the
United States. For in
stance, if all or most of
Central America was to
come under the dominat
ing influence of Castro's
Cuba, U. S. access to the
Panama Canal, Caribbean
sea lanes, oil and other
vital raw materials could
be endangered. Cuba
would be sitting astride our
southern raw material life
line.
Under the new strategy,
Cuba is contacting splinter
radical groups in indivi
dual Latin American coun
tries and attempting to
unite those in each country
for the violent overthrow of
that particular govern
ment.
When Castro's hench
men have united the
radicals of. say, Honduras,
those radicals are then
promised arms and train
ing; and they are often
flown to Cuba for that
training-training which
puts them squarely under
the thumb of Communist
Cuba.
According to the State
Department, this Cuban
strategy has, among other
things: trained radicals in
urban and guerrilla war
fare, supplied weapons to
Cuban-trained units to take
power by force, encour
aged terrorism, and used
military aid and advisers
to gain even more influ
ence over guerrilla groups.
In fact, Cuba now has
over 5,000 advisers in
Nicaragua and at least
1,500 of them are security
and military experts who
are providing everything
from combat training to
Gestapo-like secret police
instruction.
Of course, Cuba would be
ill-equipped to provide this
aid to radicals without the
massive support of the
Soviet Union. A country
with a stagnant economy,
coupled with ruthless sup
pression of freedom, Cuba
could not itself survive
without the $8 million
which flows in daily from
Russia.
Nevertheless, this sort of
Cuban influence peddling
cannot be allowed to
continue unchecked. Of
necessity, the responsible
governments of Latin
America must find a
solution to this cancerous
problem.
Beyond question, our
own economic lifeline to
vital raw materials such as
bauxite and tin depends, in
large part, on our Latin
American neighbors. As
I've said before, what
happens politically in other
nations can affect us
economically here at
home
And frankly, whether we
agree with all the policies
of every pro-Western gov
ernment of Latin America
or not. we must support
their legitimate govern
ments as best we can - the
alternative is complete
Soviet control of Latin
America through their
puppets in Communist
Cuba.
And while there are
legitimate grievances
which many governments
of Central and South
America must address, the
thought of Latin America
being run from Moscow
through Havana should not
be acceptable to them and
is most assuredly not
acceptable to us.
