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

further complicate an already complex situation in
