THE WEEK

• One reason why the Cuban economy staggers along just above the level of total collapse is that Canada keeps supplying Castro with badly needed spare parts. If Canada feels so brotherly towards the Castro regime, why doesn’t the State Department ask Ottawa to receive, house, and employ the 4,000 Cuban refugees now arriving each week in Miami? Good idea? Excellent idea.

• Simon Casady, chairman of the California Democratic Council, has survived (narrowly) a move, sponsored by Governor Brown, to impeach him. Mr. Casady is therefore free to continue his peregrinations around the state and nation, anathematizing President Johnson and Governor Brown for their shared support of U.S. policies in Vietnam. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of the largest political-action group in California is now considering, for the first time, a moratorium on endorsing primary candidates. The reason? At this point, a CDC endorsement would be the kiss of death for almost any Democratic hopeful.
