"BUT NOW MY CHILDREN HAVE SHOES..."
A REPORT ON CUBA
Here is probably one of the best on-the-spot hews reporting of
a major world event that The New Canadian has ever presented for
its readers. From deep within a crowd of peasants flashing machete
blades under the heat of a Havana sun and shouting, “Veneremos
proque la justicia esto con nostros!” and marching past the wall
size photos of Fidel Castro, on their way to the Plaza de Civica to
hear their leader; from the streets of Havana, that not too long ago
ran0- with the sounds of revolution, where bearded soldiers in olivesreen garb stand, around with black automatics in belts and machine
suns in hand waiting for something; from the luxurious hotels that
once were the homes of the rich American tourists; and from the
peOpIe—their voices, their opinions—here is NC columnist Cinderella
reporting from the midst of the chaos in Cuba.
$

*

The Cubans Airline’s bullet-riddled Viscount came to an abrupt
stop after a shaky crossing from Miami at Havana’s International
Airport. I was in* Cuba! And then they all came back to me: the
travel agent’s suspicious, sidelong glance as he curtly told me that
all flights from New York to Havana had been cancelled and that I
would^have to take my chances when I arrived in Miami; the look
of incredulous disbelief on the face of the little bank teller and her
forced “Isn’t that just lovely”, spoken as if she. were seeing me for
the last time; the customer who stopped counting a fistful of bills
long enough to exclaim “Cuba? Lady, you're crazy! They’re all Com­
munists!”; even my boss’ “I wouldn’t go to Cuba even if you paid
me a million dollars! A ou’ll be shot for sure.’’
It had been a very pleasant trip up to now. We were a party of
foui’ English-speaking Canadians, somewhat conspicuous among
fifty other passengers, all Spanish-speaking Cubans. The scruffylooking Cubana steward with two days’ growth of beard , and the
dirty fingernails, had been more than friendly, seiwing.us limp hors
d’oeuvres and frozen daiquiris instead of the conventional biscuits
and coffee. We minded neither the hastily-washed, cloudy glasses
nor the grubby fingernails for they somehow added to the sense of
intrigue which was being built up inside us. Our friends’ words
came back to us. We were not so sure now. Castro s baibudos, 01
bearded ones, in olive-green uniforms, rugged and sunburnt, were
everywhere, armed to the teeth. And even at the airport, antiAmerican slogans, such as “Cuba si, Vanquis no!” were in evidence.
We could not have timed it better.. It. was September 1st,. 19o0,
the date set bv Fidel Castro for a nationwide mass meeting in the
Plaza de Civica in Havana. No sooner were we in Havana,, when we
too were caught up in the Great Event. Everywhere, life-size photo­
graphs and posters of Fidel Castro were on display, interspersed
with patriotic slogans like “Patria O Muerte!” or “Venceremos porque la Justicia esta con nosotros!” We were caught in that immense
tidal wave of some 500,000 Cubans as they pushed onward to the
Plaza de Civica in trucks, in buses, in cars and on foot from all over
the island. We found ourselves walking with farmers with their
machetes swinging at their side, direct from the sugar cane plan­
tations with grou-ps of civilian militia with guns weighted at their

A STRAIGHT LINE
As we had now completed our experimental hitch-hiking trip
around Scotland we felt that we could now7 be.called veterans, he
packed up the flatj'left books, old clothes and suit-cases with friends,
and prepared to make a leisurely trip down to London. They w ere
giving us a farewell party, to wave us along to the reest of Europe,
and we had said that we would arrive about nine o'clock the follow­
ing evening, with the assurance only felt by the confident and ex­
perienced hitch-hiker.
.
u
.
With seven days of touring the lochs behind us we could now
afford to smile indulgently at the unsure little scouts hiking con­
tinually out of the smoky- city. We knew by- then that the change
they would feel would be greater than just the sight and the smel ,
but that they would feel a freedom never experienced in the encom­
passing routine of city life. How7 w7e wanted the whole of Glasgow
to leave their drab, dirty7 honeycomb and feel for themselves, nut
we had adventures waiting, lands to see, ideas to search and-no time
to tell Glasgow- what it was missing.
.
,
Now with the accustomed swing of the arm and bracing ox t- e
legs we shifted the 'weight of our knapsacks. onto oui^ bac.^s an
trudged-off pasf the signs pointing south. We were lO <^Ke the
slow winding truck routes the length of England and we muse pre­
pare ourselves for the monotonous, bumpy thirty- mile-an-hour exis­
tence seen through partial sleep, draught and strong cups ot tea.
It would take us roughly eighteen hours.

The scenery changed from the sandy7 soil, red houses ant russeu

‘Police Style’
KAMLOOPS, B.C.—Mr. Tom
Miyahara of Kamloops testified
in court that after stopping his
auto at an intersection he was
overtaken by7 another car which
smashed into his left fender side.
Quickly- recovering from the
impact, he gave chase.
A few7
blocks later he forced the driver
to stop by7 cutting- “Police style”
in front of him.
The driver of the other vehicle,
W. Piggin told the court that the
jolt described by7 Miyahara felt
only7 like a “slight tap” to him
and that he had thought nothing
serious had happened. Piggin has
been charged with leaving the
scene of an accident. Final de­
cision was reserved for a latter
date.

Latest Exports -- Molectronic
Ring and Cuff Link Radios?
TOKYO.—Japan’s
Mitsubishi
Electric Co., is going Dick Tracy7

radio business.
The huge Japanese electrical
firm announced it will begin
marketing cuff link radios soon.
For milady, Mitsubishi claims it
will offer a ring-sized super-het
that promises to bring in her
favorite program clear as a bell.
Secret of the midget-midget is
an as yet unnamed device in the
electronic world called molectronics.
Made of an extremely7 light-

weight alloy, the molectronic
device is only7 1,000th the size of
an already midget-sized transis­
tor. It weighs only 7/10,000th as
much and Mitsubishi claims its
molectronic marvel is capable of
all the workhorse successes as its
big brother.
A Mitsubishi spokesman pre­
dicted the device would find use
in miniaturizing electronic equip­
ment in space vehicles. He said
Mitsubishi would begin market­
ing computers, TV' sets and. radio
receivers utilizing the device in
May.

Attention Toronto JCs!
Probably7 the greatest single project undertaken by the Japanese
Canadians is the building of the Toronto Japanese Canadian Centre,
and probably7 the most crucial time of its life is now. Right now.
And the voice and opinions of .all Japanese Canadians are desper­
ately needed to insure the success of its completion and its upkeep
thereafter. Your future, your children’s future, yrour pledges, and
youi' hard-earned cash is involved. It is your right and duty to take
an active interest in this, your own project.
You can begin by . attending the Centre’s meetings; like the
special one scheduled for Sunday, March 12, at 7:30 p.m. at the
Centre Stage, 80 Bloor Street East opposite the Towne Cinema. A
brand new model of the Centre, designed by Architect Raymond
Moriyama, will be unveiled as well as a large group of interior
drawings. Directors of the Centre report that previews.of the model
for the Centre “show a magnificent design of simplicity and quiet
strength, modernistic lines with a touch of the Oriental; a beautiful
blending of the building with the landscape surroundings—-in short,
the model and drawings must be seen for full appreciation of the
values.”
The final endorsement of the bowling alleys proposal will also >
be taken up at this meeting. This proposal was endorsed in principal
by a general meeting during the month of January. Many private
opinions pro and con have been heard and discussed on this subject.
If you have your own views and constructive suggestions on this
matter, come* out to this meeting to be heard and to hear others
express theirs. To take a passive view and merely7 endorse every old principle
put in front of you, is not what the Directors of the Centre want. The
public is asked to, and certainly should, participate with a positive
and constructive attitude in all the important plans of this, their
own Japanese Canadian Centre.
The Directors of the Centre have always and still are working
hard and The New Canadian is continually7 dedicating valuable space
for their efforts. But all this is still not enough. It takes you—the
Japanese Canadian public—your attendance and y7our valuable opin­
ions. As one of the hardest working directors of the Centre, Roy
Shin said recently,’“In attempting to satisfy everyone, the people
must at least come out and let us know their opinions.”
The Centre meeting’s attendance up to this time has been
disheartening. It must make those directly concerned wonder, if all
their hard work and efforts are worthwhile. The Centre is at one
of its most crucial stages now. Remember one thing, its your dough
that’s being spent. Let’s not hear any groaning and moaning after­
wards. Your attendance is imperative and y7our opinion important.
Please. For your own sake, attend.

hips, with files of Castro’s soldiers as they joined other groups to
make precisionlike army formations, with children of all colors and
all ages, proudly sporting miniature uniforms, toward the city square
on that sun-baked September day.
FIDEL CASTRO
It was an indescribable moment when Castro’s voice boomed
oyei’ a network of microphones—eloquent, persuasive, at times gran­
diloquent. We stood midway on the slant of a hill, the square below
us and Principle Castle (now used as a city prison) behind us, so
that ours was a sweeping panorama of what I shall always remem­
ber as a moment of history. Castro spoke for some five hours, in
the full heat of a hot, September afternoon and into even break.
And all this time, silhouetted against the Caribbean sky, ‘high on the
rooftops of government buildings, Castro’s soldiers'stood poised,
,their guns turned in readiness upon the vast crowds below. But their
guns never fired. The guns like the swinging machetes, the uniforms,
the long beards, were symbols of the Revolution which had brought
hope to so many Cubans in so short a time. The mass meeting of
September 1st, 1960 was a moment of history which probably would
never be repeated again in terms of so many people giving unques­
tioning and willing support to one single leader. If in our American"
and Canadian newspapers the image of Castro had changed from
that of a dedicated revolutionary who marched against odds from
the hills of Oriente to free his people to that of a conniving pro­
Communist leading his Cuban peasantry into a fate worse than
death, devoid of personal-liberty, for the majority of Cubans on Sep­
tember 1st, 1960, Castro was still their hero. As one Cuban put it,
“For the first time in our lives, we CubansUhave hope.”
.
THE CUBA OF 1960
*
Things were more than good in Cuba in September 1960. The
man in the street in Havana took great pains to tell us so, turning
. our eyes to the roofs which we could not deny. A tourist guide,
whose taxi stood idle for long stretches of time since the Revolu■ tionary Regime came into existence, pointed with pride to the sub; sidized homes that Fidel had built for the poor people of Cuba. There
were tears in his eyes as he explained" that for the first time in
- their lives, the people can live like human beings and not like pig’S.
.Whenever we passed neat rows of subsidized homes for farmers, he
would say “Fidel g*ave us this.” The HNR in rural areas and the
; INAV in urban centres, he explained, have provided single and large
^ apartment building units to replace the picturesque but miserable
I thatched-roof bohios. He told us that in the first year, the Governi ment had built 10,000 such housing units, and by the end of 196.0,
lit aimed for the completion of 20,000 more such units. Another’guide,
j Alfredo, pointed out to us modern new schools which were being
_> constructed along the highway as we made our way to Varadero
Beach, the most “beautiful beach- in the" world”. In 1953, Alfredo
rtold us, only one out of four persons, ten years and over, could read
; and write. There was no such thing as compulsory education and
-.most of the people were illiterate. The educational system in Cuba,
in the 57 years between the founding of the Republic of Cuba in 1902
and the Castro Revolution in 1959, was so bad that only one new
school was built in Havana. But,'said Alfredo, Fidel, in the first year
' of the Revolution, had built 37 new schools in Havana alone, with
instruction patterned after the progressive method, combining book
instruction with experimentation by actual participation.
FARMERS GUARANTEED JOBS
Alfredo, who by this time, had become one of us, also told us
that farmers no longer fear- starvation for they are guaranteed em­
ployment all the year round. “Fidel gave the poor people a chance.”
He spoke with a kind of reverence. Prior to the revolution, the best
cultivated land belonged to foreigners and were farmed by almost
destitute Cuban peasants, who paid rent for the privilege of culti­
vating, this land. These peasant farmers earned only a mere pittance
and lived in constant fear of being dispossessed or thrown out of work
at any-time. At best they could only count on work for 5 months
of the year. Besides the land owned by foreigners and cultivated by
the sweat of destitute peasants, there were also some 9,900,000 acres
of productive land owned by absentee landlords, lying idle and un­
cultivated. A former peasant farmer, who now works on one of Cas­
tro’s co-operatives, informed us that Fidel expropriated all land own­
ed by absentee landlords, broke them up into co-operatives, and gave
them to the peasants to farm under government supervision.
We were driven to the famous International Hotel at Varadero
Beach, situated on the northern-shoreline of the island of Cuba, once
the playground of rich American tourists, and now owned by the
people of Cuba. I could not help but feel the pride of ownership in
cur guide’s voice when he said the International belonged to the
“people of Cuba”., He told us that Fidel had made it possible for
carloads of Cubans to come out on weekends to enjoy the luxury
hotel, where rooms were available to the “people” for only $4.00 a
day for singles and $8.00 a day for families, complete with private
swimming pool, cabanas, white-coated waiters and drinks served at
the bar. He also took us to a Community playground just two miles
from Varadero Beach where Cubans could enjoy full course meals
for as little as $1.00 per day.
.
THE REVOLUTION’S MEANING TO THE PEASANT
Everywhere in Cuba in September 1960 the man who belonged
tc the working and peasant class of .Cuba, was living for- the first
time in his life. For'him there was sufficient food, adequate shelter,
a chance for an education and employment guaranteed all "the year
round. This is what the Revolution meant to him. In a land where
for years corruption was the way of life—people whispered to me
that Batista and his group had swindled the Cuban people of over
$8,000,000—Castro stood for the people. Alfredo, our guide said “I
don’t care if Castro’s a Communist or not, my children now have
shoes.” The small group of professional men who had supported
Castro in the beginning, however, are not so sure now. We talked
to one of them, who had strangely enough, attended the same uni­
versity when Fidel Castro was still an undergraduate student in law.
He chose his words carefully. “Even at that time, Fidel was for the
underdog.” he said, “a man who often stood apart.” This man was
sincere in his belief that Cuba needed a man like Fidel to spark the
Revolution, but he was not so sure if the revolutionary spark alone
would be sufficient to guide or cope with the turbulent days which
lay ahead for Cuba. Fidel, he believed, was sincere, with an intense
love for humanity, and could be trusted. Raul ? He shrugged his
shoulder and smiled. If he were worried about Cuba’s future? he did
not show it. He admitted that times were going to become much
more difficult but he also expressed an opinion that with a change
in parties in Washington, things would change for the better. If the
rich were suffering under the edicts of the Revolutionary Regime,
they are but a very small minority of the whole Cuban population,
who had never cared whether the masses lived or died.
