Latins Hold Respect
Despite U.S. Falter
By Eric Sevareid
Recife, Brazil In north
east Brazil, the hemis
phere's most conspicuous
area and example for the
revolutions of rising expec
tations, events of the last
few days suggest that Latin
reaction to the attempted in
vasion of Cuba is not a com
plete and total loss
to the United States pres
tige and policy.
Here, as
else
in Latin
the first
wave sent
out by the
violent
splash of
the inva
sion was a
shock
Sevareid
wave forcing every govern
ment and virtually every
big newspaper below the
border to scramble for the
temporary safety of an anti
Yankee position, but then,
at least in this critical re
gion, a second ripple fol
lowed and is worthy of at
tention. In the town of Caruaru
anti-Castro students organ
ized to break up a pro-Castro
rally staged by Franci
sco Juliao and the Com
munist leaders of his now
famous Peasant Leagues.
The first speakers were
pelted down with eggs and
rotten fruit and Juliao did
not dare to appear himself.
At the Recife Airport Juliao
and his big Havana-bound
delegation were obliged to
pick up their bags and go
home when Castro's prom
ised air transport failed to
arrive, and the jeering was
considerable.
As these words are writ
ten, hundreds of Recife resi
dents are gathered in the
Cathedral of Sao Pedro at
a memorial Mass for the
young Cubans who died on
the tragic beaches, and ra
ther suddenly, Americans
here are being approached
by Brazilian friends, who
say for the first time that
the United States must
eliminate Castro one way
or another, whatever the
diplomatic and propaganda
price. Better a temporary
explosion of feeling against
you, one respected Brazil
ian leader said to me, than
the appearance of indecision
and weakness. The United
States above all else must
not appear to be a paper
dragon in this part of the
world.
How wide this second rip
ple of reaction may have
spread in South America I
could not guess, but here
It is unmistakable and what
it means is that the Cuban
affair is forcing Latin Amer
icans at long last to take a
position on Castro. An open
natural alignment has been
delayed because the prevail
ing climate of anti-Yankee-ism
has served the domest-

what I mean.
I am not sure of the to
tal attendance at Pershing,
but it was sick. The few
students who did attend
were disappointed for two
reasons in my estimation.
Namely, the bouncing blob
f sex in the person of Cathy
Carr who spent more time
talking about her weight
problem than giving the
audience a show for their
money plus the late, late
late arrival of the Four

ic purposes of conservatives
and nationalists as well as I
of Communists. This atmos-
pheric conditon is com-
parable and not so crudely I
at that with the atmos-
phere in Britain, where neu-
tralism has gone but poorly
challenged because outright
support or praise of the
United States has been bad
form even in conservative
circles yearning for a more I
independent British foreign
policy. H
Now Fidel Castro is no
longer just the ghost at the I
conversational banquets of
Latin America. His Com- I
munist conspiracy to under-
mine every Latin re-
gime within his reach is
now revealed to the most 1
rheumy official eyes as an I
indigestible lump of hard
fact lying in the center of
every governmental plate. I
Private persons, including
the young, are always freer
to announce in a loud voice
that the Emperor has no I
clothes. Around here, young I
intellectuals have begun to
fight the Communists who
have infiltrated press, ra- s
dio and TV and as teach-
ers in the primary schools.
They know now that Cas-
tro's regime is pure con-
spiracy, Cuba nothing but
an expendable pawn in the I
Russian world war of at-
trition. I
They know that, whatev-
er the undisputed value of
Juliao's Peasant Leagues in
drawing national and inter-1
national attention to the
frightful condition of

W
campus I have never seen.
I am going to quote a me
mo I wrote on April 11, just
before Mandel's visit The
words express equally w ell
my feelings in May.
"My impressions of the
entire question relating to
William Mandel's visit are
at this moment rather un
settled. What began as a
normal act of a citizen in a
free country and as a re
sponsible move on the part
of a member, however mi
nor, of a university commu
nity has in the space of a
month become an issue in
volving countless persons;
from my children, who ap
parently must bear some of
the sins of their father, to
the governor of the' state of
Ohio. But between these ex
tremes many persons more
directly connected with the
events themselves have
been drawn into a contro
versy not of their making.
Indeed, one month ago I
had no idea that I would
suddenly find myself im
mersed in an issue going
directly to the heart of ac
ademic, political and intel
lectual freedoms."
The chief difference be
tween my feelings now and
my feelings earlier is that
I am now angry. I am emo
tionally aroused because I
have personally felt the
power of anonymous letter
writers, of cynical editorial
writers, of cowardly politi
cians, of fanatical idiots, I
have long been committed
intellectually to academic,
political and philosophical
freedom. Now that I have
been so personally involved,
I am also emotionally com
itted. Even now, I take the
stand that I do simply for
the sake of the stand it
self. There is little point
in believing in something if
one refuses to stand up and
be counted. I realize that
some will smirk and sug
gest that I stand not to be
counted but to be seen, that
I have a martyr complex.
But such is not the case. I
am angry a n d my anger
happens to coincide with a
principle I believe In. I sug
gest that if I were calmer,
I could let the matter drop.
It happens that the com
bination of stupidity, cow
ardice and evil connected
with this particular event is
too great to brush aside. I
personally have nothing to
lose; Wayne and Mr. Brand
enburg have a great deal.
Many of you reading tnis
know the era of McCarthy
only vaguely if at all. Col
lege generations are meas
ured in terms of four years;
hence over two generations
have gone by since the hay
day of the Wisconsin sena
tor. It is said that "time
heals all wounds." but like
most platitudes, that at best
is but a half truth. I con
fess that as an undergradu
ate during the time Mc
Carthy came into power, "I
was not aroused as I should
have been. Yet now, when
ever I think of the enor
mous harm that my ignor
ance and inactivity contrib
uted to, the wound festers,
the pain endures.
A new era of McCarthy-

ism, a new era of though
control, a new era of polit
ical irresponsibility threat
ens. And as the hysteria of
heresy hunting, this time of
both arch-right and ultra
left begins the one's
most likely to be burned
are the liberals and the true
conservatives. Those of us
who prize freedom of in
quiry, freedom of expression
and the chance to battle in
the arena of thought and
argument must constantly
fight to retain the field we
have. Especially, those of
us in the university com
munity must keep testing
the boundaries of free
speech, of intellectual ac
tivity. We must continue to
examine all sides of every
question. On the wall of the
Ohio State Law School are
inscribed John's words:
"The truth shall make ye
free." I believe this to be
so. But I know the truth
is hard to come by. I know
also that there is no straight
jacket tighter than the
"truth" a man believes in
fanatically. A wife m a a
said: "A good cause can be
upheld without fanaticism,
and when it involves the
aid of fanaticism it be
comes less good." I believe
that we must oppose the
fanaticism of Communism
just as we must oppose the
fanaticism of Fascism. But
we must not ourselves be
come fanatics.
To some the remarks I
Just made might seem fan
atical. If so, I plead guilty
to being a fanatical anti
fanatic. Whatever my an
onymous accusers may think
of me, I regard myself as
a free man. I am willing
to obey most laws and put
up with the ordinary incon
veniences of day to day liv
ing. But I take no orders
from anyone in how I have
to think or believe. Indeed,
often I find it difficult to
take orders from myself, as
in the present situation be
cause of the conflict be
tween logic and emotion.
But I did not intend to
characterize myself In this
letter. My sole purpose is
to ask the students of Wayne
State to think of their pres
ident. The issue of April
28th's Wayne Stater con
tains high praise of him.
Earlier issues covering a
fire in the Admisistration
building and ground break
ing ceremonies for a refec
tory show a warm relation
ship between Mr. Branden
burg and his students. He
is still the good man that
be was; I hope you are
still the good students that
you were. If Mr. Branden
burg lived in ancient Rome,
he would have been called
a vir bonus. Ns man can
hope for higher praise, 1
pray that Socrates was cor
rect in saying that, 'No
evil can happen to a good
man, either in life or after
death." I fear that some
evil has already happened,
but I hope that yon stu
dents win stand by your
good man.
Do the right thing. You
must live with yourself.
Thank you,
