My dear Mr. President:
Since "truth" is to be expresses, not to be kept
silent, I cannot delay any longer in calling your attention
on what it has been of the er-forts -apparently- made towam
a solution to the Cuban crisis. In order to judge these
steps, i am to be as objective as any man of good will woula
be; ana I hope that you, Mr. Presiaent, as the leader or the
Free World will study thouroughly the facts that 1 am to
report,
No one believed me when I aenounced Mr. Castro `s
treason toward our democratic iaeala before the world., I
was marked out as a betrayer, because I cried out all about
the cmmuniat infiltration in the goverritent administration;
because I warned of the rebelions, provocations and outbreaks
in the Americas, that would be promoted by the Reds; because
I spoke loud and. clear of the new tack that Russia would use
in changing its pacifist policy, in order to encrease the in-
ternational strain to back up the Cuban totalitary regime.
To the Honorable Mr. John F. 8infac y,
President of The United States of America,
White House,
Washington, D. C.

regime. My Words have been corroborated by facts; still 1
was not either a visionary then, or an exagerated wonderer
now.
The international communism contemplates the Cuban
situation as an advantageous step toward the attainment of
some areas; and the strenghhering in others, for the prompt
conquest of Latin America, and beyona... Its sinistr: blot
n, It be relates as follows:
f).- To avolu -at any cost- the conecikaation and generaii-
nation of the rebelons in Cuba.
2).- To avoid that the efficatious ana necessary supply
help, reach the patriots in Cuba, from the exile.
3).- To avoia the establis:-anent of an -orcogeneous ianneous
military nucleus, not only well trained anc well equio-
ed, out also with the necessary moral conaitions to
lean the war in Quba.
4).- To create division and aiscouragewent among Cubans In
exil.e.
This pb11CY intense:
1) . - To ,avoia the Castro-communist-realme's iei'eat oy Cu-
bans only, since this way Its power woula loose rres-
tige, and above all, they wouldn't be able to wield
any argument against The United States.
2).- To create a state of opinion to support theAmerica-

for the Sino-Soviet intervention in the Congo, Laos

to engender and quicken the Latin American People's
hate toward this country, by the well lead payctslo-
gioal propaganda, aamaging greatly this Nation's pre--
tige, and Subsequently, girding the Latin Air.erican
countries to the Sino-Soviet-Block orbit, for the fur-
ther destr?iction of The United States, oecause oi' the
communist control of the economy of almost the entire
Western Hemisphere, with the consequently raisen of
the Rutle' s value and the Doildr` s d valuation. since
it is a :'act that Moscow takes over the mold resertres
or all the countries they subdue. Also the menace of
rurther establishment of missile bases in this very
continent.
The international communism is aided in

1),- The Organization of American States, since it has be-
come a non functionable organism, because of the com-
munist infiltration within itself, and the fact that
some delegates are gambling ana cl8.ekmailing for their
own profit.
The Central Intelligence Agency and its group called
"the f'rienas `
sector, " neaded by not American born,

great trouble among the "braves" who operate in the
underground, since "he" speculates with the armaments
in order to achieve the subordination of the despera-
te patriots, dearegarding the organization they are
linked with, Also, in too many occasions, "Francis-
co* failed his promisees. Only a few days ago, in or-
der to have an excuse for themselves, in case of ce-
nunciation, they have supplies some weapons -in a ve-
ry small scale- to other groups.
Mr. President, I want to call your attention also In
regard of the training camps; those camps that have
become the worry of almost every Cuban in exile, as
well as the lughter of .'idel Castro; those camps where
anarchy, terror and unjustified arbitrariness reigns
by the force and influence of "the rriends' sector,"
Humid prisons, electrifies fences and unhuman treat-
ments for those who -rra.r or unfairly- have been con-
fined to cells, They have to eat with their own hands
since the indispensable spoon has been denied. It is
unbelievable to know that, in many cases, a gun has
been nacklec and -pointing at their temples- have teen
threaten to be killed, And so many more things that
witnesses can testify;
3).- The Revolutionary Democratic front and Its leaders,
because of the prostitution in the administration of
this organism; and their excesive ambitions and per-
sonal worries.
4).- Those people who have oommited crimes in both the for-
vresent one. dafi ni ti1 v nonnt with

with the hate and repudiation or the entire Cuban
People. Theme "gangsters" are considered "common-
delinquents," rather than "war-criminals," obstruct
-with their sole presence- the achievement for the
unity of honest Cubans.
5).- The "1.ovlmiento Revolucionario del Pueblo" aeclares
publicly in a booklet its doctrine, which in its es-
sence, is identified with the communist one, due to
its ideals &no aims. Zti._
._ L1 c rganiaation is re-
ceiving -somehow- the necessary supply help. This
group can be placea, in the communist tactics, as
the second front, whenever Castro's fall becomes a
fact.
6).- Other revolutionary organizations and groups because
of its divisionist policy, due to their personal be-
lieves and ambitions.
(). Some "intelectualem -Americans among them- who still
sustain the thesis that it is too soon to judge the
Castro regime, since we ahoula spare several years
more to acquire a fair aeciclon. These "intelectuals"
seem to aprove the massive executions produced by
liberal trials; the strip of properties; the private
enterprises annulment; the suppression of any form
of rreedod; eradication of the woraa "God" from our
Constitution; the foreign policy in favor of the 81no-
Soviet-Block, openly against the "yankees;" the series
of lies built by Castro and rile Red clique. These
"inteleotuals" seem to aprove the communist ways or

of justifying the unjuetifyable; the crimes perpe-
trated in the name of "social-justice;" the commu-
nist principle of murdering generations on behalf
and for the welfare of the People, like it happened
in Russia, Poland Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
Conclusions: Everyone in a (iiiferent way is con-
tributing to the communist plot against the tree World
through the Cuban situation; but still, we are on time
to ammend this misrortunate policy by:
1);..
The prompt-strict checking on every individual and
organism envolved, in order to really know "who" is
"who," and "what" is the thinking ana intentions of
everyone or them. Those surfering lack or vision or
negligence, are still on time to rectify, Those wno
act with evil and bad faith, shall not ha'Ve any part
in this task.,
2).- To establish rapidly the only possible way or help-
ing, by not having any direct control over the patri-
ots, but supplying abundantly the necessary help, ana
blocking out those who harm the war process and iur-
ther more, Democracy and Peace.
3).- To start a well-directed-propaganda to awake up The
United States' and Latin America's Peoples, where
the ideals and alms of democracy shall to expreacea
to oppose the devastating communist doctrine,
On behalf of the Cuban People's ideology; on be-
half of the preservation of the good name of your country,

Mr. President, to act now, severe and promptly, berore it
be too late to save Democracy from the communism's claws.
We will chalange the Cuban-Red-Puppetl We will vanquish

money- but war equipments.
I avail myself of this opportunity to present
