'tnation's history ALJH1.,,rv@,rd prof, r
have joined several others from B~, of Eton
Univer it ,;and~ .B;,andeis ixurgmg
PreSI enedy to pursue a course in
Cuba which almost certainly would cause
a chain reaction resulting in the eventual
triumph of communism in all of Latin
America.
Nearly all Americans were discouraged
by the abortive invasion of Castroland by
Cuban exiles. But the New England pro-
fessors who have urged: tht President to'
"give no further support to the invasion
of Cuba by exile groups" betray the fact
that they never were in sympathy with
the invasion of Cuba in the first'place.
TRO'S SUBSEQUENT BLAST AT PRES-
COMMUNIST CONNECTIONS! C 0 M-
1"A%Aenies,,h e IlWagged
i?in an inexcusable andal inconceiva-
ble way" in Cuba, but.from that premise
it does ILUL follow that "***any further
efftort ,r,Qy,.gas ouL only

BUT E I'RROFESSORS: SHOW THEIR
TRUE COLORS WHEN .THEY RECOM-
MEND THAT THE UNITED STATES RE-
SUME "TRADE RELATIONS" AND A
"DIPLOMATIC ENTENTE" WITH CAS-
TRO AS A MEANS OF SEVERING HIS
IDENT KENNEDY: "THE IMPERIAL-
ISTS ARE ORGANIZING THE THIRD
WORLD WAR, WITH THE STUPID
DREAM THAT HITLER ONCE HAD OF,
EXTERMINATING THE INVINCIBLE
S O V I E T UNION AND SOCIALISM,
WHICH IS ADVANCING IN UNSTOPPA-
BLE FORM FROM VICTORY TO VIC-
TORY."
One can only wonder how many of the
New England professors who signed the
statement subscribe to the muddled think-
ing of Luigi Einaudi, a teaching fellow at
Harvard, who said the Cuban revolution
has "never been given a chance." (Einau-
di did not sign the petition but he said his
opinions are widely held at Harvard).
The New England professors apparently
even oppose military intervention in Cuba
through the Organization of ? American
States, for the only. positive recommenda-_
tion in their petition is a subtle pitch for
more economic aid to Latin America. Com-
pletely lacking : in imagination, , today's
"liberals" seem to believe that the only
way to halt the tide of communism is to
spend more money for foreign aid. Are
these people that bankrupt_ of new ideas }
that : they must- revert to old worn-out -i
cliches and slogans which'have long since
proven to be no answer to the dynamic i
nature of communism?
