14 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Cttatoo, 8. C, Thvndaj, February 28* 1M2 t SENSING i THE NEWS By Thurman Sensing Executive Vice-PruUeet geathem SUtee lednttrUl C—acO The UN-firsters will have a dif ficult time ahead. The first week of February brought out the fact that the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organi- zation (UNESCO), to which the tJ. S. is the largest financial con tributor, had published a booklet denouncing "colonialist oppres sion” by Western countries and describing Soviet Russia as “a brotherhood of free and eoual peoples.” ^ No sooner had this outrageous piece of pro-Soyiet propaganda been released by UNESCO than it was learned that the UN Special Fund will proceed with a $3 mil lion agricultural aid project for the Soviet Union’s Cuban satel lite. The United States, which contrbiutes 40 per cent of the contributes 40 per cent of the ly protested against this outrage. But this was not sufficient to de ter the UN Special Fund or its American-born managing direc tor, Paul G. Hoffman. It is pure subterfuge for Mr. Hoffman to say this will not involve U. S. dol lars. Everyone knows that is not so. The project involves the estab lishment of an agricutural ex periment station in Havana Prov ince that will be of assistance to Red Cuba’s collective farm ope ration. The U. S. government very probably takes the stand that this project constitutes aid and comfort for an enemy of freedom, for a regime that cruel ly treats its own people and threatens all free nations of the Americas.

Congreas is mors interested in hardware* and its coot, than in strategic policy. The nuclear stalemate policy does permit lower costs, mad I 1 explained by the Seera tary of Defense ia this frmme- work. The abandonment of the Skybolt missile and the B-7t program, the impending cutback in the Dyne-Soar weapon sys tem, and the dismal outlook for development of the TFX vari able-sweep fighter are all ele ments of the now policy. Mem bers of Congress are disturbed by the report in Air Force/ Space Digest that "the heads of the Army, Navy, Marina Corps and Air Fores do not approve of the change in rtrategy. They are unanimous in theb support of a doctrine of strategic su periority. 1 * ^ IMPLICATIONS of strategic stalemate In teram af . m US Mi ta bald about a t to 1 superiority ia strategic forces, which makes a p aresntage. .redaction af arms to the Soviets.

While the US has stretched out the development of our anti missile missile until 1969, the Soviets are working full speed on a defense against ballistic missiles. The Soviets have never been able to achieve strategic parity with the US, but if we give them “parity,” their all-out efforts may give them the mar gin that will spell superiority. STRATEGIC SUPERIORITY or strategic parity? The final round will beginjn the Congress this week. -£l , v©*w- ’£kiLAruvyv*nJL Mr. Hoffman, who bolds Amer ican citizenship, thus far has paid no respect to the feelings of the United States in this matter. He has been quoted as saying: ‘The day anyone can pressure me succesfully, that day I walk but.’* What ,1s shocking is that Mr. Hoffman has not felt the obligation to walk ou of a UN or ganization that wants to send U. S. taxpayers’ money to a Russian satellite that menaces the United States. It is not the amount of money that is to go to Fidel Castro. If it were one dollar, it would be too much. What counts is the prin ciple of the thing. And the prin ciple is that the people of he Unit ed States should not be asked to contribute a single dime to the bloody Castro dictatorship. It is especially ironical that the UN Special Fund wants to sub sidize an agricultural project. Who will be the beneficiaries of foodstuffs grown under the pro gram? Not the Cuban people, cer tainly—not the Cubans languish ing in Castro’s dungeons. But there are 17,000 or more Russian soldiers in Cuba, and they are well fed. The Russian conquer ors have everything. No doubt the UN could, help produce more vegetables for the Russian field kitchens. Th UN aid project for Cuba may he the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Only weeks ago, millions of Americans were pro foundly indignant that they were in effect subsidizing the UN’s war against anti-communists in Ka tanga. They could not do any thing about that. But the UN plan to send money to Cuba is too much for Americans. Already there is before Con gress a resolution that calls for a complete cut-off of U. S. funds to the United Nations if the U* Special Fund persists in aiding Fidel Castro and his Russian masters. Such a resolution shoulc enjoy the widest support in the Congress from both parties. If there is one issue on which all good Americans feel strongly, it is the Cuban issue. It shoulc *be clear that the U. S. public will not countenance financial aid to the man and the regime that is our sworn enemy. The American people would not for an instant tolerate direct assistance to Fidel Castro. It is certain that if they know what is going on, they will not stand by while the UN Special Fund is used as a secret pipeline to pro vide a Russian satellite in the Ca ribbean with money furnished by the people of the United States. Congress, as the source of ope rating funds for all government projects, should proceed to issue an ultimatum to the United Na tions: "No money ior Castro, or else.” If the UN special Fund re fuses to halt financial aid to a Red dictator, then the United Na tions stands exposed as a mere front organization and finanr-ui pipeline for the Soviet world con spiracy. Now is the time for Congress to act, and to repudiate Paul Hoffman at the same time. For Mr. Hoffman, Congresss should have one word: “Shame!” Cross HE News MKS.
