The entire Cuban press during the past few days has carried vigorous protests against the slaughter of Jews in Europe. The Confederation of Cuban Workers, which has 600,000 members, issued a proclamation condemning the Nazi murderers. A similar proclamation was issued by the Student Federation of the university in Havana Twenty-five radio stations in Cuba carried special broadcasts during the week-end describing the Nazi atrocities against Jews and calling on the population to support the Jewish demands for reprisals.
