principle of non-intervention,

consequence of the dictatorial

nature of the Duvalier regime.

Like A Charade

The performance on all sides

had the earmarks of an oft

repeated charade. It took the

council exactly, four minutes

of open debate—after an hour

of private talk in an upstairs

conference room—to approve

unanimously the resolution

turning the dispute over to the

fact-finding commission.

To a great extent, the at

titude in the OAS reflects a

similiar outlook in the United

States State Department. Of

ficials admit that they have al

most no first-hand information

about how the northern inva

ceeding.

The United States Embassy

in Haiti, which has been whit

whether any fighting actually

has taken place and whether

government or rebel forces have

suffered any casualties. Yes

law of Gen. Leon Contave,

rebel leader, said that there had

only been “minor clashes” and
