Most of Washington's staunchest allies denounced the U.S.led invasion of Grenada yesterday and joined in a nearly universal call for the Reagan administration to withdraw U.S. forces from the Caribbean island nation.
Angry Libyan demonstrators said that President Reagan was the "Hiller on"
In Moscow, the Soviet news agency Tass called the invasion "an attempt to impose on the Grenadian people by means of force a system suiting
Washington, to intimidate the other freedom-loving peoples of Latin America.
In Paris, President Francis Mitterrand voiced strong opposition to the invasion at the weekly meeting of his governors and government spokesman Andre Labbarrere.
"Law is indivisible, international society is based on principles, particularly on the right of peoples to守法 for them. L'arbere quoted Mitterrand as saying:
"France therefore condemns the American intervention in Grenada as it
was."
Several thousand protestors gathered at the U.S. Embassy in Paris before marching to the city's Opera House, where they resisted Reagan Assassin, Marines Go Home."
same nature."
In Rome, Italian Prime Minister Bettino Craxi told the Senate that his government received the news of the invasion "with great surprise."
"The Italian government cannot help but disapprove of this decision as it disapproves of every policy of military invasion," Craxi said. "This has dangerous precedents and constitutes in itself a dangerous precedent.
"In our judgment, it is necessary that the removal of all foreign troops from Grenada be arranged as quickly as possible."
About 120 people carrying anti-American placards staged a peaceful demonstration outside the U.S. Embassy in Rome. About 200 protesters after staged a peaceful sit-down demonstration at the U.S. Consulate in Milan.
West German government spokesman Peter Boehner said after a Cabinet meeting that Bonn would have given the United States against invading Grenada.

President Fidel Castro denounced the U.S. invasion at a news conference but said that he would refrain from sending reinforcements to the island or to Nicaragua when son carried out a military attack on that country's Marxist regime.
HAVANA, Cuba — Cuba partially mobilized its militia and reserve forces yesterday out of fear of new U.S. moves toward the Middle East, most likely the U.S. led invasion of Grenada
Hours later, the official Prensa Latina news agency announced that U.S. jets and artillery overwhelmed the French forces offered by Cuban forces on Grenada.

The news agency indicated that six Cubans in the final stronghold died rather than surrender.
"There is no Cuban resistance, the Cuban ambassador said at 11:17 a.m." Prensa Latina said "The last stronghold of fighters did not surrender but sacrificed themselves for the fatherland.
Cuba criticizes United States mobilizes reserves and militia

"It was not possible to obtain more information on the development of the latest combatats or on the individual warrior or the army enlistees who defended those positions.
"We can only communicate that the embassy of Cuba in Grenada informed us that the latest attack of the enemy on our positions was undertaken with all the means — warplanes, helicopters, and medium artillery and mortars."
In a heavy rain, tens of thousands of Cubans held rallies throughout the island nation to protest the invasion.
workers and students gathered in each city block in Havana in "open forums" to denounce the United States, television news shows said.
elsewhere in the nation.
Speakers at the rallies praised the 700 Cubans on Grenada and said that Washington had to use its eletric troops to dislodge the heroic resistance," the television said.
Government officials said that initial phases of mobilization were begun among the reserve and militia forces, with most being sent messages to be prepared for an urgent call to their units.

Workers were also put on alert in case they were called in, the officials said.
sources said the government was making preparations in case President Reagan decided on new moves in the Caribbean.
"All the world will be waiting for the declarations of Reagan tomorrow," one source said, referring to the president's press asses on the Grenada and Lebanon crises.
Castro, wearing military fatigues, said that overwhelming American military power made it impossible to consider, sending reinforcements.
Castro said the invasion was "an enormous political error" by Washington and said the States might buy him a military victory, but a disastrous moral defeat.
Castro said also that if the United States invaded Nicaragua, "Cuba would adopt the same position as with Grenada, of not sending troops, because really that country doesn't have the means of transport to displace the reinforcements in that Central American nation."
WASHINGTON — The head of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, Dominican Prime Minister Eugenia Charles, addresses the Organization of American States while its General Secretary, Alejandro Orfila, looks on. Charles defended the invasion of Grenada at the meeting, which took place yesterday.
OAS members divided; U.S. fights accusations
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Eugenia Charles of Dominica told the Organization of American States yesterday that U.S. and Caribbean forces would leave Grenada as soon as order was restored and a provisional government was set up to prepare for elections.
Charles, who heads the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, made her remarks before a special session of the OAS Permanent Council.
She later told a news conference that elections could take place six months after the provisional government was established.
The council listened quietly for 10 minutes as Charles told of the U.S.-led invasion of Grenada — a move that some OAS members think violates the OAS Charter and the Rio Treaty, which prohibit intervention in the affairs of member states. Grenada is a member of the OAS.
she strongly condemned the "Yankee aggression against the heroic people of Grenada and the Americans" and Middendorf of Lyons about the invasion.
Immediately after the session, Permanent Council President Fernando Salazar Paredes of Bolivia, alluding to several delegations that are troubled by the military action, called for a meeting. He did not name the nations involved.
But after 3:00 hours of hearing angry voices of condemnation of the invasion
by some countries and understanding by others, the afternoon session concluded without a censure resolution even being proposed.
U. S. Ambassador J. William Middendorf said, "Fortunately, there has been little loss of life, and internal order is being restored to the island."
Middendorf assured his OAS colleagues that "the presence of the collective security force will be conti- nued, and the necessity is necessary to ensure" its objectives.
He said the objectives were "to restore law and order, to help the people of Grenada restore functioning institutions of government, and to facilitate the departure of those who wish to leave."
A tape-recorded message from Grenada's ambassador to the OAS, Dessima Williams, was played to her colleagues, in which she said she went into hiding because of threats against her life.
Ian Jacobs, from Grenada's mission to the United Nations and an alternate representative to the OAS, said that the UN is working on a plan for the "brutal act of intervention."
