Well-placed government sources said Britain had turned devin a request from the Organisation of ' East Caribbean States to join the Lnvasion force of U.S. and Caribbean troops attacking the island where miiitary leftists seized power last week. Kieareua, apprarer.tly fearful it could be a future target of U.S. military action, condemned the inva- , sion as a demonstration of "imperial arrogance" and called for the immediate withdrawal of the invading force. The Foreign Ministry issued a sharply worded communique after Nicaragua formally requested an urgent meeting of the U.N. Security Council to dis cuss the operation on Grenada. "W e call on the international community to request the immediate withdrawal of United States invasion troops from the soverign territory of Grenada and on the Non-aligned Movement to mobilize all its political and moral means to defend the sovereignty of a brother nation," the communique said. Unbacked right-wing guerrillas fighting the Nica ragua government, praised the invasion. "We think the United States has finally abandoned its policy of drift and indecision in Central America and is ready to take decisive action to put an end to Soviet expansionism in the area," Adolfo Calero Por- I tocarrero, president of the Honduran-based Nica- ' raguan Democratic Force, tcld Reuters. 4 The French government expressed surprise at the I U.S.-led invasion, implying the attack was a violation cf international law. A strongly worded government statement added that no state had the ri"ht to intervene mniterity in another country without be in; asked to come by the legal authorities or the United Nations Security Council. "The French government was not informed about the latest event3 in Grenada," the statement said. "It therefore cannot pass judgment on the rea sons which provoked such a surprising action with regard to international law, but it wishes to recall the constant position of France in affirming the principle of nonintervention." Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau refused to justify or condemn the invasion. President Reagan, announcing the invasion this morning, said one VS. objective was to protect about 1,100 Americans on the island. Trudeau told Parliament "That i3 not enough for me to justify or condemn the action. Were there other ways of ensuring the safety of the Americans there than by proceeding by invasion? In the case of Canada we had authority from Grenada to take our citizens out" United Nations Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar in a statement expressed "grave concern" over the landing on the island. He said he was "n&rtipularlv rifet.nrhjd nvr thf possibility that the escalation of tensions could further complicate an already complex situation in the region."
