In an interview with the French reporters (Igor Maureure?) and Etienne Laloud?), our prime minister said that neither the actual comings of the revolution nor the revolution itself depend on individual temperaments. They are, Castro said, a product of the environment. Castro added that the revolutionaries cannot exist without an atmosphere of injustice and without the conditions of injustice which would make it possible for a man with political learnings to turn into a revolutionary. Mr. Castro explained how it had become necessary for him to assume the responsibilities of the revolutionary government which, he said, he had accepted with the condition that he would be given the means of discharging this responsibility efficiently. Since then, Castro said, "I have not stopped working and I am happy with the work which I am carrying out. I like to work for the revolution in the same manner in which you like to work for a newspaper." My vocation is to make a revolution, Castro said. -END-
