Abstract
Description
Situation in Cuba developing satisfactorily; has accomplished major tasks, but difficult to do so without appearing to meddle in Cuba's internal affairs; still much to be done; Cubans prepared to cooperate with U.S. 100 percent in matters of defense; Communists represent only real danger, and party may be legally dissolved soon; has read scurrilous articles in P.M.; apparently few took the articles seriously, but such malicious libel should not go unpunished; apparently some people in fairly high places in U.S. still think Germany could win war and U.S. would be in no danger; attitude of Vatican equivocal; Catholic clergy in Latin America are generally pro-Fascist and are badly informed.
