This is a particularly pleasant arrangement for Castro as he consorts with the Kremlin’s emissaries and snarls at us. His sugar-dependent economy continues to benefit from a guaranteed market here at a bonus price. It need not fear competition from Mexico, Peru, i other Latin American producers, or the Philippines, which are ready and willing to ship us more sugar.
In their sincere and enthusiastic demonstrations of friendship for the United States on the occasion of President Eisenhower’s recent visit to their islands, Filipinos might be pardoned for wondering why we persist in such economic benevolence to Castro, who confiscates the property of our citizens and seeks to poison the minds of the long-friendly Cuban people against us.
