Haig signals U.S. aid to depend on Cuba and Soviet actions
In remarks from page 1A, Haig warns that any expansion of U S involvement hinges on Cuba and the Soviet Union. He notes potential help remains tied to those groups’ willingness to stop illegal intervention in member states, while avoiding specifics on further advisers or funding. Duarte distances himself from mediation offers by Socialist International as government and guerrillas clash.

He cited 1,500 guerrillas surrendering since the Feb 11 amnesty and proposed extending it to April 11. He warned against turning El Salvador into another Vietnam as leftists are accused of Vietnamese links. Nicaragua's Tomas Borge denied acting as a conduit for arms to Salvadoran guerrillas and said U.S. arms shipments have increased regional instability.
