Now, many of its money-earn- ing properties have been seized by the government. The church supported Castro's early social program including the agrarian reform law, pro- mulgated in the spring of 1959, a few months after the revo- lution had triumphed. Trouble began last year when the church began speaking out against the increasingly Com- munist complexion of the revo- lution.

But the storm really broke with April's abortive invasion and Premier Castro's May Day address in 'which he decreed the takeover of parochial schools and said foreign priests would have to get out of Cuba-- all except those certified as not counter-revolutionary. In the third week of May, the exodus of religious personnel began, and soon became a flood. Nuns and brothers had to go as well as priests, since with the takeover of schools there was nothing left for them to do in Cuba. CANADIANS DEPARTED Among those who ' departed were 62 Canadians represent- ing religious orders in Quebec. With the departure of a final large contingent of Spanish priests July 20, the main was completed. An informed source estimated then that of about 2,000 Spanish mission- aries based in Cuba at April 17, including perhaps 600 priests, only 200 remained. Reports tell of churches hav- ing been invaded by militiamen looking for gold or money, or "Whenever they found anything they just took it." In Camaguey province, in eastern Cuba, a group of priests is said to have been kept locked up in latrines for nearly a week. The day after May Day a group of armed militiamen moved into a convent occupied by Canadian nuns at Colon, in Matanzas province. For some days the nuns were prisoners, unable even to go out to buy supplies. Finally, after com- plaints from the Canadian em- bassy, Premier Castro sent a personal representative to clear out the intruders. Among scores and perhaps hundreds of priests arrested were Msgr. Evelio Diaz, coad- jutor archbishop and apostolic administrator of Havana, and Msgr. Eduardo Boza Masvidal, auxiliary bishop of Havana. In the same period, Manuel Cardinal Arteaga, Archbishop of Havana, who is in his 80s'? took refuge in the Argentine embassy. At latest report he was still there.
