SENSING
THE NEWS
By Thurman Sensing
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
The President’s announcement
last Monday evening of a “quar
antine” or blockade of Cuba was
long overdue. Now that it has
been established, it should be sup
ported one hundred percent by
the American people. A brave
people are never fearful of the
consequences when they know the
act is right and necessary — and
this one certainly was.
It is being said and win be said
that there is no need for recrimi
nations now that we have finally
acted, that both poUtlcal parties
should support the action the
President has taken. That is true,
It Is the very nature of com
munism to seek to overthrow the
established order in the world
and substitute communism there
for. Communism is therefore al
ways on the offensive, never on
the defensive. Months ago when
it became known that the Rus
sians were pouring military
equipment and military person
nel and technicians into Cuba,
what other purpose could It have
had except offensive action
against the Western hemisphere
and naturally pointed directly at
our own country?
Another rather strange aspect
of the President’s announcement
was the reference two or three
times to statements issued by the
Russian government, by Khrush
chev and Gromyko to the effect
that the aid they were giving Cuba
was for purely defensive purpos
es, and the very apparent implica
tion that he had accepted these
state menu at their face value.
Now, anyone who knows the na
ture of communism knows that
the statement of a communist can
never be taken at face value,
that to the communists a lie is
simply a tool, a weapon to use
against a gullible enemy.
So, it is almost unbelievable
that our government could have
accepted such statements as fact,
even though we all remember, of
course, that the President himself
continued to assure us that all
evidence showed the military
buildup in Cuba ws purely de
fensive. Just what did the admin
istration think it was defensive
stand our government’s inaction
and unwillingness to do anything
about it. It had also become
rather apparent that the people
•re well on the way toward poli
tical revolt in the Congressional
•lections this fall, and that the
administration would very likely
lose control of Congress if mat-
soddsnly that
the military build-up was offen
sive and not just defensive as we
had been assured, that In Just a
week’s time the Intelligence ser
vices of our government suddenly
Informed the President that the
picture had completely changed.
It is to a considerable extent In
recent weeks making campaign
speeches in behalf of his party,
also finally found out the threat
to hit Congressional control, and
therefore felt he had to do some
thing about It.
The only out. of course, was to
recognize what so many Ameri
cans have been recognising all
along, that the communist build
up in Cuba was a threat to our
national safety and take steps
to bring H to a halt. We can all
be glad that this has now been
done and while we can all support j
the action—we can at the same
time review the events that
brought it about and the impli
cations involved for our future
guidance in times of stress and

that can be. learned.
In the first place, one listening
to the President got the strange
impression that he must have
been just about the last person
In the country to realize what
was going on in Cuba. The peo
ple generally had sensed what
was happening—what was bound
to happen—for a long time and
were demanding action. Months
ago Fidel Castro said publicly,
“I am a communist and have al
ways been a communist." Right
then it became apparent that this
can revolution; ft was the estab
lishment of a communist police
either the Cubans or
thought there was any danger of
Cuba being attacked by this coun
try in light of our attitude since
the Cuban revolution?
And, finally, while the Presi
dent’s action was right and will
have the thorough support of the
American people, it can hardly
be believed there is not a definite
political overtone to this sudden
action on his part. Anyone who
has gotten around over the coun
try in recent months has
fully aware that cur tolerance of
this communist build-up only
ninety miles from our shore has
been the most disturbing matter
in the minds of the American
people, that
