1:11:00
that though we have power we lack nerve,
1:11:03
that though we have the weapons
we will not use them.
1:11:05
The lmperialistic forces of
the United States
1:11:08
seek to dictate to Cuba
what policies she should carry through,
1:11:12
what her domestic order ought to be,
1:11:14
what weapons she should use
for her defense.
1:11:17
But who gave the United States
the right to assume the role
1:11:21
of master of destiny over
other nations and other people.
1:11:25
Why should Cuba settle
its internal affairs
1:11:27
not at its own discretion,
1:11:30
but so as to please the United States.
1:11:32
We hope, we pray,
that the worst may be avoided,
1:11:35
that the Soviet leadership
will call an end
1:11:37
to this ominous adventure.
1:11:39
Cuba belongs to the Cuban people.
1:11:42
Only they can be the masters
of their destiny.
1:11:45
President Kennedy assumes
a grave responsibility
1:11:49
for the fate of peace.
1:11:51
He is recklessly playing
with nuclear fire.
1:11:54
When the hell are we going to hear from
1:11:56
the Organization of American States,
1:11:58
how long can Adlai extemporize?
1:11:59
They're voting now.
1:12:01
Ted, I've been hearing that for hours.
1:12:02
Mr. President,
each of the Latin American ambassadors
1:12:04
has to call back to his capitol
for instructions.
1:12:06
But I thought you arranged for
special lines, Pierre?
1:12:08
Yes, sir, I did,
but some of the ambassadors
1:12:09
haven't been able to get through yet.
1:12:11
My dad should have bought
the telephone company
1:12:13
when he had the chance.
1:12:14
Mr. President.
1:12:15
Les have it, George.
1:12:16
The O AS vote is complete,
1:12:17
Latin America voted 19 to nothing
in favor of our resolution.
1:12:19
Congratulations, George.
1:12:21
Thas marvelous.
1:12:22
Congratulate Ed Martin and Rusk for me.
1:12:24
Even Bolivia went along,
and only Uruguay abstained
1:12:26
because the ambassador
couldn't get through to Montevideo.
1:12:28
Pierre, turn up the tube.
1:12:29
Yes, sir.
1:12:30
Stevenson doesn't seem to know
about the O AS vote.
1:12:33
- is not that it is revolutionary,
1:12:35
not that it is socialist,
1:12:37
and not even because Dr. Castro
perverted a noble revolution.
1:12:39
We object because he has aided
and abetted an invasion
1:12:43
of this hemisphere.
1:12:45
Whas going on up there?
1:12:46
Stevenson doesn't seem to know
about the O AS vote.
1:12:48
Dr. Castro has given the Soviet Union
1:12:50
a bridgehead, and staging area,
1:12:52
and has invited an extra continental,
1:12:54
anti-democratic expansionist
power - excuse me.
