How could {it use our armed forces to boot out a rightist military junta when it allows Red dictator Castro to stay on in Cuba? And for that matter, this government long ago tied its hands on all such hemispherfe problems. In the good old days we would simply land the Marines, install ‘any old kind of government cap- able or ruling and promising to keep on good relations with the USA. Now, since 1947 and as a direct result ‘of the “good neighbor” policy of FDR's secretary of state Cordell Hull, we are pledged not to intervene anywhere unless such ‘& move is sanctioned by the 21- nation organization of American States. Even the missile-crisis blockade of Cuba had to be okayed by this body before it was ordered. Just because we are powerless on our own to strike back at South American dictators does not mean, however, that the State Depart. ment {s given a license to gize for them and find a silver Uning in their rise to power.
