It is not certain whether the unexpected resignation of Guatemala's President, Jacobo Arbenz, will prove a victory for the U.S. and for the rebel forces under Castillo Armas, or merely for the army junta which forced the President out of office. It is, not even clear whether the development marks the end of the tragi-comic situation or the beginning of real fighting. Until Arbenz was obliged to step down the rebels' talkative leader, despite the formidable strength attributed to him, had been able to report only one military development indisputably in his favor. Therefore whatever pressures prompted the army junta to turn upon Arbenz, the fear of military defeat at the hands of the rebels was not among them.
