The Daily Herald,whos oditorial board has been ‘recently - joined by-Frank Cousiars; took an unusually militant position on the Cuba situation in its editorial 'The Voice of the Herald! on Wednesday 24th. October.Drawing parallels with an ‘Suez! the editorial said "Kennedy's blockade may turn into a iionumental blunder" It went on to say that " like -lden, Kennedy has. plunged into action. without. consulting his allioss; Ovsrridden his obligations to the United Nations; started a porilous chain of events which could easily slip out of control." On the subjoct of bases the editorial states " Kennedy claims that.the Russians are building rocket bases in Cuba which can be intended only for aggression. But ; America and her allies have for years ringed Russia with bases which they insist are purely defensive." After pointing out that no warlike action has been taken by Russia against American bases in Britain, Italy, Spain,Greece,Turkey and - Pakistan, the Herald has this to say " Castro could equally claim that any : Soviet bases in Cuba are defensive- especially in visw of the armed attack, encouraged by America, to which he has already been subjected.Castro has as much right to choose Russia for his ally as the NATO countriscs have to choose America for thoirs," Finally the editorial called for Britain to support the proposal already made by Canada- that the eight neutral mombers of the disarmament Conference in Geneva should be sent to Cuba to establish the facts. In the final paragraph it’ calls on Kennody to recall his warships and get back to the conference table." On Thursday the Herald reported “Telegrams and letters. from roaders give alino st 100 per cent.support to the Voice of the Herald,which yesterday criticised President Kennedy's blockade of Cuba." A Telegram from Anthony Greenwood MP was reproduced, which read " Congratulations on your magnificent leading article today on Cuba which spoke for the ordinary people of Britain — Tony, Greenwood,"
