Summary:
Sir Leslie Munro expresses his bewilderment regarding the Soviet attitude towards foreign intervention in Congo and Cuba. The Soviet Foreign Minister demanded that Belgians to leave Congo immediately. In the case of Cuba, the Soviet Union set itself as a champion against any "economic aggression" and on the side of any small county struggling for independence, against colonialism and foreign exploitation. The letter points to a shameless inconsistency with Soviet actions in Hungary where the Soviet army so brutally repressed the struggle for independence
