Cuban Fence of the recent Johnson-Kosygin meetings in Glassboro, N.J., and public condemnation of the Soviet line during the recent Middle East war, were the most recent signs of Cuban-Soviet dif. ferences, There was no direct criticism in newspapers here of the Glass- boro summit, but little space was devoted to it. CRITICIZED STAND At the time of the war, the Cuban government openly criti- cized as "shameful" the Soviet- supported Security Council call for a ceasefire without con- demning the aggressor. ° The position adopted by the Cuban delegation in the current General' Assembly emergency session on the crisis also is much more radical than that taken by Kosygin. At the bottom of the two countries' differences is Cuba's feeling that the Soviet Union is neglecting revolution and show- ing a conciliatory attitude to the Since Soviet Premier Alexei | ment. N.
