Castro Makes Bitter Speech Against U.S. Cubans Told They Must Tighten Belts To Stop Aggressors By MARTIN P. HOUSEMAN' United Press international HAVANA. Fidel Castro delivered a hitter harangue against the United States today and told Cubans they would have to prepare themselves for a "long struggle" against economic subversion and "aggression from abroad." The premier told his countrymen they must tighten their belts and get used to the idea of spending millions of dollars on arms to save Cuba from the "powerful interests" threatening it. Comparing Cuba with the Algerian nationalists in their five- year-old war against the French, the premier declared: "For those interested in knowing, we can say we have more arms than the Algerian patriots."

We can neither abandon the rifle nor our work."
