lifting of the Cuban embargo andthe eventual integration of that coun-try into the Inter-American system_isprobably only a matter of time.Theomission of the question from the of-ficial agenda of the present OAS meet-ing—which takes place as this is writ-ten —is certainly wise,since the press-ing questions of the Panama Canal andthe U.S.Trade Act provide enough sub-stance for discussion to occupy all minds.Hemisphere peace demands that thesetwo questions be resolved and justly,inthe face of the long inequities that havegenerated so much anti-U.S.distrust inthe hemisphere.  \nHowever,the subject of Cuba remains“in the air,”symbolically and literally.It has become a constant theme of in-terviews and broadcasts.Like the springverdure,the atmosphere of U.S.is alivewith avid announcements of visits toCuba by potential political candidates,journalists,proponents of the Cubansystem;and the unremitting editorialsby that ardent champion of Castro'sCuba,“The New York Times.”  \nHowever,among the Cuban them-selves,now living outside their country,the subject is not one which can of-ten be discussed dispassionately.Manythousands remain still embittered by theCastro-communist usurpation of the Rev-olution,for which they suffered in fleshand paid for with their means.Otherthousands in exile carry the agony ofdear ones,still confined in prisons,sole-ly for opposition to Castro's politicalapostasy.Of course,many thousandsmore in exile continue to feel the frus-trations of their material losses.  \nWhatever this may mean,there stillremain in exile some of the great revo-lutionary fighters;some who,in a sense,far more profoundly than the CastroSierra Maestra sector,fought and wonthe anti-Batista revolution,and whostill hope that their return to Cubamay start the ferment of the leaveningforces of freedom.  \nAbove all differences there is one sub-ject on which all Cubans in exile feelunitedly—that whatever the final reso-lution of the Cuban issue may be,thefate of the thousands of men who stillremain in Castro's prisons(some forthe entire 15 years)should be resolved.  \n# AMERICAS WEIGH CASTRO'S REFORM\n\nBy FRANCES R.GRANT  \nWe note that this subject was over-looked by our visiting dignitaries;atleast publicly,they have been too\"deli-cate”perhaps to mention the matter toCastro!The highly articulate interna-tional organizations also,which so pas-sionately cry out about prisoners inother countries,have here been strange-ly silent!  \nBe this as it may,the topic of thispersonal reminiscence by this writerdoes not concern itself alone with thequestion of political prisoners;to re-mind the proponents of the Cuban ex-periment and Cuban redemption thatthe precedents of the“Paredon”and“summary execution”were the gift ofCastro to the
