Virtually all of the most recent refugees left because of economic depression and police repression. T HO Cuba Cuba before Castro was undergoing economic development. Its wealth was increasing yearly, new industries were being established, mining was developing at a rapid pace, and meat consumption per capita was among the highest in Latin America. Cubas exports surpassed those of all the Central America Republics combined and its per capita income was third highest among Latin American republics. Cuba was also the worlds largest producer and exporter of sugar. This prosperity ended in 1960, after Castro nationalized much of Cuba's industry and shifted die foreign trade almost exclusively to tire Soviet bloc. CUBA TODAY - Virtually all of Cubas industrial equipment, fuel and raw materials vital elements in the economy have to come halfway around the world and take months to arrive. PRE-CAS- ard of living has dropped approximately 20 per cent. Die transpor- tation system has become dilapidated. Industrial output has remained stagnant. Plants and machinery often stand idle because of a lack of raw materials and spare parts. Soviet replacements for industrial and form machinery have proven woefully inadequate in qualify, and deliveries of Soviet bloc supplies has been slow. WHILE SOME . factories provided by the Soviet bloc have started to produje consumer items their production has been limited. Cuban agriculture is also in serious trouble due to forced collectivization, faulty planning and mismanagement, as well as a lack of economic incentive among form workers. n A Castro sympathizer conceded that forced collectivization of farmland has led to bureaucratic anarchy. BY 1961, about 40 per cent of Cubas farmland had been nationalized. In 1963, Castro nationalized all remaining private forms of more than 64 hectares (158.14 acres). This raised the total of collectivized farmland to 75 percent. In the same year, sugar cane low Practically every essential item production fell to an been of 3.8 had tons. million (It) has been rationed and the stanr' as high as 7 million tons. well-know- - - all-ti- By 1965, sugar cane production (rose) to 6 million tons. The regimes energies were concentrated on driving formers to produce more sugar. Office and in- dustrial workers and students were drafted into labor brigades and sent into the fields at virtually no pay a form of forced labor. Furthermore, to produce this 1965 crop, Castro had to plough under about 2.7 million hectares of land devoted to foods. The result has been a serious drop in the nutritional value of the Cuban diet. Ironically, the comparatively abundant 1965 sugar crop has been of little benefit to the economy. Because of a drastic drop in the price of sugar cm the world market, Castro has probably not received as much money for his sweated-ou- t 6 million tons as he received from the low 1963 crop. NEAR Bankruptcy --- Reports indicate that Cuba is on the verge of bankruptcy. Its economy has not collapsed because the Soviet Union, apparently to avoid loss of prestige, has been pouring into Cuba subsistence-leveconomic aid at an estimated rate of close to $1.25 million a day. The price Cuba has paid, how-- ' ever, has amounted to virtually total economic and political subservience to the Soviet Union. el 1 by John Yackman Are you rich? Maybe not financially, but you are wealthy as for as health is concerned. Your two arms, two legs, fingers, toes and eyes are the assets which make you a millionaire. TO MAINTAIN this wealth, whether you realize it or not, has taken long years of careful working and playing. Its funny how we are inclined to take accidents for granted. That is, until we are the victim. Few of us stop to realize the actual value of good health until we have been injured. When a person in our vicinity is injured, we suddenly become safety - conscious to a high degree. But as time passes and the memory of his injury dulls, we sort of relax again arid that old accident menace has us right where it wants us again. Remember during the spring and summer weekends many of you will be having fun and enjoying life in a variety of ways. Its difficult to remember and practice safety rules when youre having fun. Remember - careless fun and horseplay can cause you to have an accident which can take your life or keep you away from duty for a long time. REGARDLESS OF the type of recreational fun you enjoy over the weekends, do not at any time sacrifice safety during your exuberance and frivalty. Think of SAFETY always and the little precautions that add to having fun in a safe manner, you will have no withdrawals against your account in the Bank of Health. THINKI TALKI PRACTICE SAFETY!
