Revolution In Lebanon Reaches Decisive

By WILLIAM L. BEIIRUT (AP) . crazy revolution has reached a decisive stage. There is a stand- off now between government and rebel forces. The way it breaks likely will decide much of the future Middle East role in world politics. , Compromise is‘ possible. But many things stand in the way, and all these things are para- doxes wrapped up inside of the

RYAN Lebanon’s

over-all riddle which is Lebanon.

itself. For example: A weak president, Camille Cha- n moon, is the strongest man in ' Lebanon today.

The revolution definitely has

lost momentum. It is weakening. ‘ But as a result it may win out in the long run.

There is anarchy today in Lebanon. But in Lebanon this is not too serious. There always is a trace of anarchy in Lebanon. ANOTHER PARADOX

The; rebellion is attacking the government. The army is defend-

i ing the government. But the army is not attacking the revolu- tion. The army is giving weapons to the gendarmerie so that if the

rebellion must be attacked the.

army will not get the blame. These are only a' few- of

MORE WEAK MEN

However, all the Christian can~ didates who might be acceptable to both sides are more or less nonentities politically and weak men in comparison with Cha- moun. This would mean that the Moslem premier would rule in’the division here between Christians and Moslerns. There is little ques- tion but that Mosle‘m rule even< tuallyxwould tie- this country’s policies to those of the United Arab Republic and President Nas- "set. i .

US. laws demanded that US. agents travel with the president. “It’s the polite thing to do to recognize them,” he said.

Small Boat Load Limits

cos. 3 John R. Baldwin, deputy trans- port minister, told the Commons railways committee Tuesday that A plaques attached to small boats by m an n f a c t urers will state clearly that the gross or max- imum weight includes the motor, passengers and all equipment. This was recomended in the inquest verdict, which described the plaque on the RCMP boat, as being “confusing of proper max~ imum weight.” The verdict said the boat was overloaded and overcrowded. Justice Minister Fulton told the Commons Monday that the boat’s plaque gave a weight limit of 975 pounds, but the RCMP had inter- preted'this as not including the motor, which was the main rea- son for the boat’s load being “somewhat over the presumed limit of 975 pounds.” Mr. Baldwin told the commit— tee that the placques for small {boats have been reworded follow— ing talks between the department and the CanadianBoating Fed- eratiou and boat manufacturers. Transport Minister Hees said the publicity attached to the RCMP tragedy likely would help impress boat owners that they should not overload their craft. Mr. Hees said the department is planning no further investiga- tion into the death of the five constables. The government felt the coroner's verdict adequately covered all points.
