Approximately 125 persons met for the discussion of "The Cuban Revolution" at 7:30 p.m. in the Russell House Assembly Room. Dr. Moreno presented a brief survey of Cuban history from the overthrow of Batista to the rise of Castro and his gradual transition to socialism. "The revolution was political rather than social and it was definitely a democratic revolu tion. This is what the Cubans wanted and what they fought for," Dr. Moreno declared. He demonstrated Castro's grad ual assimilation of power by stat ing a Cuban proverb: "Those who are outside see better than those who are playing the game." He explained that the Cuban people were not aware of the slow growth to socialism until it was too late. Dr. Moreno himself did not realize the hopelessness of the 1 situation until 1959 when he I then took asylum in the Vene- t zualan Embassy, under great t risks, and then entered the United Statese As Secretary of the Publicd Works andl Secretary of the Na tional Blank of Social Security r undler the Revolutionary govern- 1 ment, Dr. Moreno met with Castrod and dliscussed Cuban problems on Wmany occasions.s S Of Castro, Dr. Moreno says.
