Sir, —That the United States naval base in Cuba is still there because Khrushchev “enlisted it in defence of the conditions in which socialism in Cuba has developed over the past 11 years,” is a funny figment of M.C.H.’s imagination. Moreover, the Cuban economy has badly failed. In the aftermath of revolution Marxist peasants are reluctant to work. It happened too in Chile. Castro was aided by Khrushchev after being used as a political puppet on a string, and candy at last came to Moscow. The fact that this year he came to Santiago, with the memory if not the ghost of Khrushchev, and big black beards became popular frontage, certainly helped wreck a democratic socialism. Zorza’s imagination is far better than M.C.H.’s. Both are stale.—Yours etc., A. B. CEDARIAN. December 13, 1973.
