CUBA
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The most prominent questions asked
to-day are the ones asked concerning
Cuba and its connection with us, the
American people. In the next few
weeks we will try to ask and answer
some of these questions.
SOCIAL NOTICE
Mrs* Langdil is a civilian worker at
the Commandant Thirteenth Naval District
who arranges for transportation of dep
endents from the States to Adak when
she receives confirmation of quarters
from the Naval Station, More than one
family has expressed gratitude for her
efficient and kind treatment*
Why is America, the richest and
strongest nation in the world, wor
rying about communism in Cuba?
Because once a country falls under
the control of Communists its govern
ment becomes subject to control by
^he Kremlin, and an instrument for the
aggressive Communist world movement.
In the case of Cuba, the Soviet lead
ears have seen fit to use the Commu
nist Castro regime there as a tool
for extending their power and their
ideology into this henisphere. More
over, Cuba has a strategic location
athwart key transportation routes in
the Caribbean. Most importantly,
they have converted the island into a
military base directly threatening
all of its free neighbors, and pos
ing a threat to world peace.
Last year, the families of men affec
ted, sent her a Christmas gift* It is
generally felt on the island that she
deserve a o::e this year *or her contin
ued oi*orts to bring wives, children
and husbands together*
