easier to draw a crowd in a

hurry than in Haiti. The rural

Haitians will be brought to Port

Au Prince in pre-empted trans

port, as in past years, and, as

usual, it will take several days

after they have gone to get the

schools back in shape for the

pupils again.

It Is estimated more than

200.000 will stream into Port

Au Prince during the crucial

period when Mr. Duvalier is I

perpetuating himself In office

All this is so alarming to the

United States that about 200

women and children have been

evacuated from Haiti in an

emergency airlift and the air

craft carrier Boxer has moved

to within 3 */a miles of the Hal

itian coast with 2,000 Marines

ready to intervene if Americans

are menaced.

Dr. Duvalier is alarmed, too.

Martial law is in effect and

there is curfew from 8 p.m. to

8 a.m. Anyone found on the

streets after curfew is liable to

be shot, and few are disposed

to test the gun-happy Ton Ton

Macoute or the police. Many

Haitians are so frightened they

not only remain off the streets

but also turn off their lights

when curfew comes.

"Papa doc" Duvalier and his

Ton Ton agents have made

common cause of a virulent

form of black nationalism

They preach and practice I

forces on the neutralist Lao

tian government.

Another major subject likely

I will be world trade. Christian

Herter, the administration’s

i j chief trade negotiator, flew to

Ottawa late last month to brief

Mr. Pearson on the American

position in the coming Geneva

ministerial conference of the

General Agreement on Tariffs
