Washington, like most of the world, watched the sad-sack circus with incredulity, but in the end decided that the national dignity called for action. Secretary of State Christian Herter called Ambassador Bonsai back to the U.S., apparently to stay as long as he cannot live in Havana without insults. Herter told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that he was "deeply worried" over Cuba's course, conferred with President Eisenhower on worst-ever U.S.-Cuban relations. The Administration asked for a new law giving the White House authority to change quotas on the high-priced U.S. sugar market...
