Let Us See For Ourselves Last night a state department interpreter. in an anti, Castro position. said to a group of students alter the Arrom lecture, “If you’d go to Cuba, you’d see that things were bad." This week a petition printed by the Fair Play For Cillia Committee, but not officially afi iated with that group, which has no chapter on campus, is being circulat- ed among students and faculty. The petition directed at President Kennedy urges a re sion in tile state department policy of hostility tor ward Cuba. It suggests that diplomatic and t Ade relations be restored and that the Cuban people be permitted to de- telmine their own destiny without interference irom any outside sources. More important, but contingent upon its other prov sions, the petition suggests that the 1; \\'Cl ban on (‘nba be litted. The petition does not encourage an Ollt‘mifl-Ollt sanc-. tion of Castro practices and policies; rather, it snide; s that it is to eas ' to draw wrong conclusions from an arm chair hundreds of miles away from the area of contention. relying only upon ”interpreters" and our “sometimes l'l'ee pre s.” if the state department is so convinced that “Castro- land” is “bad,” Interested students at Grinnell and through- out the U.S. are only asking ”Won't you let us be truly American? Won’t you let us see for ourselves?” Sit-iris Fight Discrimination by Jill.
