Need Of New Latin Policies Told Rotary "The world is in a state of change and we must face the challenge of it by Christian capitalism," Charles Wells, editor and to Rotary is the publisher, declared Club Monday. Wells, of Newton, publisher of "Between the Lines," a newsletter. He is lecturing this week at First Methodist Church here. "We lost a bigger battle in Montgomery than we have in the last 20 years to the Russians. The Communists will play it for all the propaganda value it has and they have enough money to do it." On the Cuban situation, Wells said Castro's appeal is to the poor.

Five of the six million Cubans are hungry and the average wage is $4 per week, he said. The basic problem in Cuba, he said, is the large land holdings of the wealthy sugar interests. Wells said the United States should have learned a lesson from the revolution in Mexico when the wealth was broken down among the poor. The result was, he said, that United States capital was later reinvested in Mexico with just and fair laws for all. "We had better move to action in other Latin and South American countries before we have the same situation there that we have in Cuba," he stated.
