CUBANS DISTRIBUTE GUEVARA'S REVOLUTIONARY MESSAGE IN MOSCOW

The top leaders in both Moscow and Peking appear to have reached agreement on at least one point -- to officially ignore the message from Ernesto "Che" Guevara which was published in Havana. {See World Outlook April 28 for full text.]

In China there is no indication whatsoever that this important declaration calling for armed struggle against oppression, for socialist revolutions, and for a united front in defense of the Vietnamese people against the aggression of U.S. imperialism has been made available to the public.

In Moscow the Cubans are distributing it as a pamphlet and it is reported that when the text reached that city a group of Latin-American students gathered outside the Cuban embassy to read excerpts from it.

The coolness of both Mao Tse-tung and Kosygin-Brezhnev to Guevara's message is undoubtedly due to the sharp criticism it contains of their joint failure to close ranks in face of the assault on Vietnan.
