HAITI
In his first policy address to the National
Assembly, Jean-Claude Duvalier on Thursday offered
amnesty to Haitian exiles. He tempered this invi-
tation, however, by adding that neither Communists
nor "troublemakers" would ever be readmitted.
The conditional amnesty offer should sepa-
rate genuine political exiles from those
who left only to seek better jobs or greater
personal liberty. Those still covered by
the broad and vague exception may be driven
somewhat closer together, but the depth of
their differences would still seem to pre-
clude any real cooperation.
Leading figures in the government, including
Luckner Cambronne, the new secretary of state for
interior and national defense, attribute the cur-
rent tranquility to close adherence to Papa Doc's
plan for the succession
Several members of the presidential entou-
rage? are agreed that Cambronne and General Claude
Raymond, chief of staff of the armed forces, are
Jean-Claude's chief advisers, taking precedence
over his sister, Marie-Denise Dominique, who is
serving as his private secretary.

NOTES
? Ceylon: Only scattered action has been reported
recently, and the major insurgent attacks anticipated at
midweek did not occur. Despite the weakening of the
insurgents' position, few of them are likely, to accept
Prime Minister Bandaranaike's terms for surrender during
a truce set by the government from 1-4 May. A standoff
thus looms, because it is doubtful that the government
forces at present can mount a sustained drive against
the rebels.
Pakistan-India: The two governments-appear,to
be trying to lower the tension that grew from the
recent closing of their respective Deputy High Com-
mission offices. in Dacca and Calcutta. Indian Deputy
High Commissioner Sen Gupta, who had been put under
virtual house arrest.by the military authorities in
Dacca, is now allowed to come and go at.will. Islam-
abad has also indicated its willingness to arrange
for the repatriation, of Indian diplomats and their
dependents from Dacca to New Delhi via Nepal at the
same time that those Pakistanis who want to leave
Calcutta are repatriated.
