Reference: Your Tel X-47 Mar 12.? FIDEL CASTRO Your telegram crossed my telegram 44 March 13.? At diplomatic reception given by Foreign Minister Saturday, he expressed to me the hope that Castro might be invited to Canada by some Canadian organization while he is in Washington next month. He was informed that it may well be at this time of year with session in full swing and a number of foreign visitors expected in Canada that it might prove difficult for this to be arranged. 2. Castro is obviously doing his very best to squeeze an invitation somehow to get to Canada and I am only hopeful that the Junior Chamber of Commerce in Montreal will not repeat not put into operation their reported intention to invite Castro to Canada. I believe more and more that this should be prevented at all costs as Castro is fast becoming victim of his own verbosity and also a tool of communist elements surrounding him. [HECTOR] ALLARD | |
