AMAZING MR. RUSSELL
trand Russell's letter on your
editorial page. You did the
American pe4Qple a great serve
1 .1 ARTHUR and HELEN
i
ice by showing them: how
amazingly naive people in this
world can be in regard to
Communism. Sounds to me as
if Mr. Russell was born after
the Cuban crisis.
I say let's continue the
flights over Cuba or any place
else where American security
is at stake regardless of what
anyone or any nation thinks.
And someone please send Mr.
Russell a history book at least
from World Wnr 11 to present

TWO-WAY INSPECTION
U. S. Government spokesmen'
state that U2 flights will be
continued ,o,ver Cuba as a guar-
antee against the installation
of nuclear missiles on that
island. The Cuban Govern-
ment has stated repeatedly
that it consents to ground in-
spection, (presumably by a
U.N. team), provided that the
United States consents to a
like inspection. of,various spots
in the Caribbean from which it
is alleged the United States is
.sponsoring sabotage and other
attacks on Cuba.
If the Cuban allegation is
mistaken or false, why should
the United States object to a
two-way inspection? If the-
Cuban allegation is correct,
the people of this country have
a right to know and to decide.
Is it right for'i.is to tinker with
international justice and a pos-
sible nuclear confrontation by
continuing C.I.A. and. U2 opei ,
'.ations in tli -taribbean? Or
would it be right to discontinue:
'both and to ask the United:
Nations to maintain a two-way
inspection as long as it might

KIND
To the Editor of The Inquirer: !
Your prominent "Letter of
the Day" space given to Ber-f
trand Russell who lives in'
England and who slanders the,,
United States as an imperialist;
country has prompted this re.;
ply. Mr. 'Russell sees a big in-
consistency in the tolerant:
policy the United States seems;
to be following toward the
U.S.S.R. and the hostile policy
we show toward Cuba. IIe,
wants the United States toes-:,
tablish normal relations with)
Cuba and end the inspection.
flights over Cuban territory. ,
The tolerant policy we are=,
showing to the U.S.S.R. is due.
to a similar attitude which the
U.S.S.R. now chooses to show
the United States. Our hostile'.
~
policy toward Cuba is the re-J
suit of Castro's continued hos-'
tilit.y to the United States andf'
to Latin America.
Mr. Russell should be ap-
pealing to Castro to snake sin-
cere peace offerings to the
United States by making repa-1 I
rations for the billion dollars'
worth of U. S. property which
he confiscated; by announcing 1
that he will never again let',
I;;ussia set up missiles on Cuban
soil and America need not fear
repetition of that crisis; by
lodging he will no longer train'
en and women in subversion
nd ruthless armed rev,olut.ion'{
nd send them to other Latin
Americancountric.s w1t1t_t,hc.
5urposc of overthrowing tries
governments of those coun-
tries and' set up Conimunisti
'egimes.
Without these assurances.1
and demonstrated good faith,'
America cannot trust Castro;
r the U.S.S.R. and is ' obliged
.o continue the inspection:
lights and really should inten~;Sift' such efforts.
The charge of imperialism
,ir. Russell makes against the,
U. S. for maintaining a naval`,
ase at Guantanamo Bay by,y
orce, as he puts it, is entirclyi
alse and slanderous. If the
LS. was,imperialistic it could.:
ave taken over Cuba long,
