CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR wnat is thte Soviet motive in Cuba? • » ' . There, have been several sugges tions. It might be to forise wittf* drawal of American bases on die Soviet perimeter. Or to goad the Americans to drastic action which would split the Western camp. It might be the barrage to cover a descent on Berlin. Or it could be to test American willingness to stand np to a blow." - This last is th.e most disturbing. The Russians must have presumed that their missile bases, so hastily and openly assembled, would be detected by American intelligence. They Knew that special surveil lance had been ordered by the President because he said so, openly, and warned of action if of fensive missiles were to arrive. We must consider the possibility, therefore, that the* Soviets counted on having their deception exposed. They even compounded the deceit at tiie highest level by deliberately falsifying what they had done in the Gromyko statement to Presi dent Kennedy. Was this to teat American deter mination? It is known that over recent months Premier Khrushchev has repeatedly spread tl|e idea •—< hi* concept or one he wanted to propa gate—that the United States would not fight. It was assumed in the West that many categorical state ments directly from the President Usd disabused him. Could the Soviet Premier have decided that assurances in words were not enough ? Could he have determined either to call the American bluff, if so it were, or to force American action on Cuba, before deciding whether he could get away with a power play on Berlin-? These questions can be raised and not answered. But to raise them is to show the extremely grave possibilities which lie be yond Cuba, and the need for the most careful thought and firmest action. The arms blockade of Cuba is clear proof, if the Kremlin needs it, that the United States will in fact and'in justice fight to protect Berlin. Htlmr EMSfet-. uuier juutors THE HERTFORD COUNTY HERALD Us All Many debates nave taken place over fluoridation of public water supplies. Usually they result in a divided population, either in favor of public fluoridation or hotly op posed to it. It now appears that a solution to the problem is on the horizon, and this issue which has divided so many towns and cities may be at an end. The American Dental Association, and many other dental groups and publications have realized the ben efits which fluoridation through the public facilities have had in de creasing the number of cavities of a given town or city. Others have felt that this was an invasion of the rights of an individual and the usurpation of power by the autho rities. Now, the pharmaceutical indus try, in collaboration with physicians and dentists, have created an al ternative solution to the problem of fluoride deficiency. It is a flu- i oride-containing vitamin tablet that can be chewed like candy, or crushed, or sprinkled on babies’ foods. Many people will wonder about the safety of fluoride for the in lividual. The findings of the Am erican Dental Association led them, in 1950, to give unreserved en lorsement to fluoridation. Virtual ly, every other interested medical society has taken a similar posi tion., .The development of these tablets is a major break-through n the dental field.

MEAT THIEF SENTENCED John Thelma Smith, a former :mployee of Frosty Mom Packing Company, drew a 3 - year prison term in superior court this week tor stealing $6900 worth of meat 'rom the packing" plant. STRAIGHT Ml Events have moved swiftly in the Caban Crists. An abrupt change has been made in United States policy 'which has brought grim de termination to protect our nation and the Western Hemisphere. The President acted, we are told, after a Counter Intelligence Agency surveilance disclosed a rapid build up of Soviet offensive strength in Cuba. The President has been closely watching the situation which he has stated now imperils the national security. The jolting fact revealed by the President and the Secretary of Defense is that Russia is building a foreign atomic base on an island which the Unit ed States has long regarded as of the utmost importance to our security. Secretary McNamara has stated that according to intelligence information “it is fair to assume that nuclear warheads are on the island." I solidly support the President’s action. I think it is the only thing he could do to preserve our na tional security. I have felt for a long time, and I have stated so many times, that the only way in which free men can preserve their freedom is to keep their hearts in courage and patience and to lift up their hands in strength. I ■ 11 ' think the President's message means that America has determin ed to do exactly that. I have felt for a long time that ' the United States should have no- ' tified Russia when we first learn ed that Russia was shipping arms 1 to Cuba that we considered such sets violations of the Monroe Doc- , trine and a threat to our national security. A demand should have been made to Russia that such shipments forthwith be stopped long ago. But what is past is pro logue to the great decisions now being made. The President has spoken clearly and there should be no Russian misunderstanding that the people are united behind his action. • The decision could mean war. Americans, I believe, understand this and are prepared to meet the challenge imposed by the Rus sians. We are a peaceful people, but time and again the American people have demonstrated the unique capacity to understand the basic issues confronting our nation. Our forefathers crossed an ocean, struggled in a wilderness, and fought to found a nation where men and women and their children could find freedom and liberty.
