Castro feels the pinch
Sir: I have read the article in your issue of 29 March in which Lord Walston gives a roseate picture of Cuba, speaks of the evil done to that country by the sugar millionaires, and of what Castro has since done to eliminate the vicious profit motive.
Lord Walston is surely a Janus-headed thinker, endowed, like the authors of the Bible, with small sense of irony. To confirm that impression, I would ask your readers to look up Walston (Waldstein) in Burke's Peerage. They will think it 'a bit thick' as they see: 'Residences Newton Hall, Newton, Cambridge; A14, Albany, Piccadilly, Wl; Marquis Estates, St Lucia, West Indies.'
'Arms, Supporters : On the dexter side a Farm Labourer supporting with the exterior hand a sheaf of barley and on the sinister side a West Indian supporting likewise a stalk of bananas all proper.' Sudeley 25 Melcombe Court, Dorset Square, London NW1
