The report showed that total revenues increased to $70,567,000 from $61,803,000, mainly as a re- sult of higher parliamentary grants and higher commercial revenues.

BEIIRUT (Reuters) United States Marines dug in around Beirut Tuesday night as a world crisis mushroomed over Arab na- tionalist revolts here and in Iraq.
The landing of the 2,000 ma- rines, first of the 5,000 ordered by. President Eisenhower, has been branded “an open act of ag- gression” by Russia.
U.S. 'Force troop carrieré arrived in West Germany to be used “as may be necessary.”
The rebel forces who seized control in Iraq Monday an- nounced Tuesday night that the union of the oil-rich country with Jordan was “null and void." This was seen as a move tohead off any appeal by King Hussein of Jordan, who assumed leadership of the union, to call in outside aid. : _
Reports from Ankara, Tunkey, said young King Faisal of Iraq, nominal head of the union, was Wounded in the fighting.)
CONFIRM DEATH ,
Well informed sources con- firmed the death of Crown Prince Abdul run. ,
The sriurces said others killed included former premier Fadhil Jamali, Iraq’s United Nations representative, and Sabah Said, son of Premier Nuri Said.
There was no further news of the fate of Nuri Said, whom the rebels said was Lvnched, after first reporting the “strong man” escaped. _ '

OTTAIWIA (CP) '— External af-' fairs Minister Smith said‘Tuesday American troops, in Lebanon have
undertaken to look after ' 46 Canadians known to be? ‘ Middle East trouble spot. . ?.
He said in the Commons nadian' mission in Beirut has" been working with the United States Embassy there to give pho- tectlpn to Canadian citizens in Le- bano’m.
Mr. Smith was replying to 0p- position leader Pearson (L—Es- sex East) after making a brief statement on the landing of 5,000 U.S. Marines in Lebanon Tuesday.
He implied—though he did not specifically say so—that the Ca nadian government approves of the U.S. action.
Quoting from a statement ear- lier by President Eisenhower, he said the landings were‘ordered to protect the 2,500 Americans in Lebanon and to preserve the in- tegrity of that country.
Mr. Smith said the Canadian representative at the United Na- tions has been instructed to sup- port all constructive steps that are proposed in an effort- to
integrity against outside infill. ences. ' ’ UN PICKED FIRST ,
He ,said during Mr. Eisen-
, ho, ’35 visit to Ottawa last week
it " s felt a UNobserver group Wbanon would be sutficient to meet the situation.
However, in view of recent “grave, events" in the Middle East, it was found that the ob- servers could not handle the alt- ‘uation.
Referring to the; presence of “about 43” Canadians in Iraq, where a pro-Egyptian coup over- threw the pro - Western govern- ment Monday, Mr. Smith said “we’re hoping for the best.” He said 40 of the Canadians in Iraq are in the capital, Baghdad.
Normally, he added, Canada would depend on the United King- dom Embassy in Baghdad for as- sistance to Canadians, but the embassy building was sacked.
Meanwhile, outside the Com- mons, an external affairs depart- ment spokesman said, there is no news in Ottawa that would indi- cate the, question of evacuating Canadians from Lebanon is in

There lies the contrast between 1956 and today. In the British- French Suez intervention the American g o v e r n'ment backed off — even opposed the move against the canal nationalization by Egypt’s President Nasseréand the Western‘alliance tattered for a time. ‘ v I“
. low to‘Westem influencein this area of almost constant tuiinoil, the NATO Allies are solidly be- hind Washington, and have so ex- pressed themselves 'in the United Nations or their own capitals.
Despite the on-the-surface im- pression that has more to lose because of her oil dominance to Iraq itself, the U.S. now ap- parently has switched its 1956 po- sition and come to the conclusion that its own resources of that v!- tal ,commodity' in neighboring Middle East areas are under the same threat. - ‘
The immediate threat is the surge ,of Arab nationalism which has caught fire since Nasser took over power in over- lying that is Russia’s own inter? est in the Middle East, which. lifts the regional crisis — which“ could be serious enough in itself— up' to what might be called the summit level of international ten- smn. APPEAL T0 MASSES v
For Nasser the time has been opportune. Despite his military failure in 1956, his political victory in- the subsequent settlement which led to the withdrawal un- der virtual censure by the UN of the British, French and Israeli forces has made him a hero and a symbol to millions of Arabs who see little enlightenment in any form of foreign exploitation.
LONDON (Reuters) —- Britain’s Conservative government Tuesday fully- endorsed the sending of American Marines to Lebanon.
Fokign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd told the House of Commons: ‘
“They (the Americans) believe that the ‘United States action is necessary to preserve the inde- pendence and integrity of the Le- banon in this very uncertain situ- ation. , ,
' “This action has the British government’s full support.” ,
Usually reliable sources said
that while the Lebanese landing
‘ ,was entirely an American opera-
tion, the British government does not exclude the possibility of its own forces being used in Le- banon—though it hopes this will not be necessary.
, The sources said there had been no decision here to send‘British troops into Jordan to coincide with the American landing in Le banon.
U.K. TO JOIN IN?
(In Washington, the Associated Press reported that President Eisenhower is said to have told congressional leaders that Brit~ ain and possibly France would send troops to reinforce the Amer- icans in Lebanon.
(The news agency also quoted diplomatic sources as saying Brit- ain is‘ready and willing to send troops to Jordan if she should be asked by King Hussein.)
