CAPITOL CORNER Washington, D. C. (Special) American trade continues with Cuba . . . and the U. S. taxpay er's dollars continue to flow into Cuba. Here are the sad facts: 1. Just this summer, American shipments to Castro's commun ist regime included a reported 42 diesel engines adaptable for use in military tanks and $400,000 in machinery and other vehicles. These exports were made de spite a partial economic em bargo placed last year against all shipments to Cuba except foodstuffs or medical supplies. The Administration has the power to stop all U. S. shipments to Cuba. Yet the State Depart ment recently opposed a bill which would establish a com plete embargo on shipments to Cuba. 2. Interactional organizations, financed to a great extent by the U. S. taxpayer, give aid to Cas tro's regime. Example: The UN Special Fund granted $1,157,600 to Cuba for what was called "an agri cultural research program." The U. S. taxpayer contributes 40 per cent of the funds for this organ-. ization. ! Example: The Pan American Health Organization is providing 32 Russiain jeeps to Cuba for a so-called malaria eradication program. (Can we be sure that the jeeps will not be used in Cas tro's communist army?) The U. S. taxpayer contributes 66 per cent of the budget of this organ ization. ; Example: This same Pan American group awards fellow ships to various persons upon the recommendation of their own governments. We can imagine who gets recommended by Cas-' tro's minister of health for this program. The U. S. taxpayer again, pays 66 per cent of the cost. Yet Secretary of State Rusk in committing this country tc , pay a large part of the $20 billion Alliance for Progress for Latin America claimed none of the U. S. money would go to Cuba. It seems to me Cuba is doing pretty well right now.
