Cuba
Sir, —Continuing study of human behaviour offers the following reflections on Cuban developments. The aims of big business of religion. plus the religion of big business, is maximum loot, as opposed to the people’s demands of work, justice and co-operation bringing food, education, and shelter. The inevitable is the result, which also suggests that charity is no answer to poverty. Neither of the disputing elements need be maligned or praised, as both, from their own point of view, imagine they are correct. Incorrect and frustrated economic pressures have obviously forced Castro further towards the people’s demands than perhaps otherwise would have been the case, and military pressure could be extermination for those using it. Poor hereditary genes and adverse environmental influences, which no-one can help, will prevent some from understanding the foregoing reflections and then. I, too, may be wrong. Supernatural influences are conspicuous by their absence.—Yours, etc.. MELVILLE B. MITCHELL. May 3, 1961.
