"These facts regarding Cuba are now known to us: last February a member of a Lodge in Cuba (Bishop Gooden) was able to pay his dues and was regularly receiving his Lodge notices; in the early summer a Cuban Mason desired to affiliate with our Sinim Lodge in Tokyo. He had his receipt for dues and other credentials. Our Grand Lodge verified his status by mail with the Grand Secretary of the Grand Lodge of Cuba in Havana, receiving a prompt reply. Later a demit was forthcoming. Recently, Time magazine reported that the Grand Master and four others 'of his cabinet' were arrested. An appeal to intercede for the release of these prisoners was received from an organized group of Cuban Masons who had fled to Florida, which would indicate their concern and leave the conclusion that they considered the regular Grand Lodge of Cuba was functioning at least at that time."
