US. Dominican Intervention

Seen Threat To Future Of OAS

By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) american intervention in the Neminican Republic's civil up- rnsing is seen in diplomatic carcles here as a serious threat to the future of the Organiza- tion of American States.

The OAS is also regarded as the device which the U.S. hopes te use to extricate itself from the island.

The 20-nation OAS is sched- uled to convene in Rio de Jan- ero Starting May 23. The ortl- cunal idea had been to discuss onc-overdue political and eco- nomic reforms in the alliance, making it more effective

The fear shared by inform- ants including Canadians is that President Johnson's interven- tion with 19,300 troops has de- stroyved the atmosphere suitable sober appraisal

and that the OAS offers the handiest exit for the\U-S.

But there is concern voiced that the peace - keeping force agreed on for this purpose—ap- proved by a bare margin in the OAS—may be more symbolic than real. This would leave un- known numbers of American troops involved.

There is concern among dip- lomats that this in .effect will turn rebel sentiment solidly against the U-S.. mennteenenes nationalist Communist su porters where handfuls’ existed previously.

‘WANT STRONG MAN

The hope is that the OAS— as it now is striving to do—can find some figure in effective control in Santo Domingo, with the emphasis on “effective.”

Thus, while the rebels have sworn in Col. Francisco be amano ne as president, .

SHOULD CONSULT

For example, Democratic Senator Robert Kennedy of New York, former U.S. attorney-gen- said in the Congress Thursday the U.S. must always take care to consult its OAS allies—something it did not do before committing troops in the Dominican Republic.

The New York Times editor- jally took a stronger line when

for political ends on the basis of reports that a handful of Communists were involved in the rebellion and on the flimsy that they threatened to gain control of it.”

It is generally agreed that the American intervention is clear violation of the OAS charter—

OTTAWA ‘CP)}—Higher cloth- ing and medical costs pushed the consumer price index up tvofifths of a point during March to’ 1377 at the beginning of April, striking a new high for

the fifth consecutive month, the . bureau of Statistics has report- ce

¢

But the index—hbased on 1949 prices equalling 100—remajned for the first quarter of this year

cinse ta the ganas recommended 4-

by the -Economic--Councit-_ of Canada for reasonable stability of prices.

There—_-were—smail—increases fm food. housing. transportation, and recreation and reading components of the index. Prices of tobacco and alcohol remained relatively unchanged
