Nothing could be more aggressive economically than banditry or the seizing of property without legal right to its possession Los Angeles Herald-Express: Let us fool ourselves no longer We are dealing with a communistic people's republic the first stage of the revolution In Castro we are dealing with an enemy of the United States a servant of the Kremlin a menace to the peace of the American continents an instrument of Soviet policy The time has come for action against strong effective action Fullerton News Tribune: Authority to reduce sugar imports will give President Eisenhower the big stick he has needed to deal with Fidel Castro and his red-tinged cohorts in Cuba Given this right the President can move promptly to whack Cuba's biggest source of income if he thinks it necessary The United States now buys about one-third of its sugar requirements from Cuba at enough above the world price to give Cuba what amounts to a subsidy of $150 million per year Perhaps the threat of losing trade he needs desperately will sober Castro into a review of some of his radical policies and proclamations On 'Old Glory' others When Americans count and classify their people they find that they have lived up fully to the claim on the Statue of Liberty The land that encloses desert and mountain fabulous cities and ranchland badlands and bayous has indeed welcomed the destitute from the teeming shores of Europe given them work and sent a fair proportion back to Europe as prosperous tourists Canadians are in the fortunate position of retaining their Country tie of affection and at the same time sharing this rich continent with a friendly and generous neighbor They will join in congratulating the United States on this July 4 when the 50-star flag flies for the first time Another Straw In Cuba Luis A Baralt Cuban ambassador to Canada has resigned and asked the Canadian government for permission to remain in exile The Baralt resignation should give Americans a glimpse of a new facet of the Cuban activities Resignation is one thing and diplomats have resigned many times in disagreement with policy But election to remain in a foreign land is a matter less agreeable Sr Baralt has no strong ties in Canada He has been there less than a year as ambassador It is quite obvious that he has elected to remain because he does not wish to return to Cuba under present conditions The revolution indeed eats its own children One disagrees with Fidel Castro these (days only at the actual risk of life Denver Post Californians Speak AIR FORCE GEN CURTIS LE-MAY on missiles "They have never built loyalty or judgment in scrap iron" VIRGIL McCOMB Sacto "Socialism will fail because in order to succeed everyone must cooperate The human race much prefers to compete" DR JOSHUA LEDERBERG Stanford scientist on space research is some concern that the whole thing is out of bounds dollar-wise but in my opinion it is a challenge on the human frontier we should follow BOB FIB1SH Mill Valley distributor "Most people are so worried about mercenary things that they lose the feeling of what the good life is all about" MRS JOHN McGRAW visiting late husband's' transplanted Giants baseball without a hot dog" LOUIS HEILBRON State Bd of Education pres is nothing undemocratic in raising standards that will challenge every student to reach somewhere near his own capaci- The Gazette already has expressed concern 'over the situation in Cuba It is one of the post distressing problems this nation has faced ht the cold war and the solution does not ap-pear simple The longer the Castro irritation is allowed to fester however the more difficult will be our position when we are faced with making some firm decisions The communists in and out of Cuba are making hay in the meantime Premier Castro is acting like a Little Hitler or a Little Mussolini and history should indicate to him what fate may be his The Italians hanged Mussolini by his heels in a public square near Milan While we don't advocate this fate for Fidel Castro the end of most dictators is the same There are a number of his countrymen many of them intelligent and substantial who long ago became aware of the direction the rebel Cuban government is leading the small Republic Many of them are as concerned as we are along w'ith the rest of the Free World about letting the Russian communists get a firm foothold in North America Many of our fellow editors feel the same way Here is what several of them say: Bakersfield Californian The stupidity of some of the actions of Fidel Castro has never been more conspicuously stressed than by his announcement that Cuba will confiscate American property if this country reduces its consumption of sugar under State Department A Canadian Tribute: Fifty Stars (THE PROVINCE VANCOUVER CJ The new flag of the United States of America flies proudly in Vancouver today bearing the two extra stars symbolizing the admission of Alaska and Hawaii to the Union It is the first change in "Old since 1912 when Arizona became the 48th state The new flag thus celebrates the entry of Alaska and Hawaii into full partnership The flag flies free and bold under Canadian skies on this uly Fourth at a time when the world is torn with dissension The great nation it represents has suffered unwarranted insult and the barbs of the ignorant and ungrateful in every corner of the globe Yet never in the history of the world has a people poured out greater wealth for the benefit of The Way Of Freedom 'Chief Justice Earl Warren the other day warned that modern conflicts between freedom and tyranny can only be resolved by lawyers fully aware of and committed to broad principles of free government which brought this Nation into being" These says one writer with whose thoughts we concur will be welcome words to many who have in recent years felt that the broad principles of free government which brought this Nation into being have been more than somewhat confused by high placed lawyers perhaps not fully aware of the subtle modern conflicts between freedom and the tyranny of certain Ideologies Summer Warning Summer with its blessed tradition of vacations and travel and camping out is here but on its halcyon horizon is a dark cloud A smoke cloud it is smoke from fires that may if they are allowed to start prove disastrous to our State's magnificent forests of which Tulare county has thousands of acres This is the word of and California foresters and fire-fighting experts Last year's fires burned 381792 acres We have had two successive years of below normal rainfall in critical areas During those years we had 8-898 man-made fires Those statistics should provide a healthy warning for everyone who works lives or plays in the forests and wildlands It's fine to be fired up about your vacation just fire up the place where you play For not more than four or five times what they would cost at a grocery store a non-farmer can raise his own tomatoes
