While. the central figure of Canada’s scandal-in - govern- ment case looked on stolidly, \Joseph Michel (Mike) Caron, |36, recounted a series of whole- sale dope shipments into the United States by way of Europe and Mexico which he said also involved Rivard’s three Cana- dian co-defendants on narcotics conspiracy charges.

It was this latter provision which lay behind most of the negative votes and abstentions, almost all of which came from European countries.

Herman M. Batten, Liberal MP and vice-chairman of the (Canadian delegation, said his group decided on its three ab- stentions in view of the fact the UN resolutions involved had not been approved by the Security Council. This raised some ques- tions as to their effectiveness.

As well as the two negative votes, the United States delega- ‘tion cast 11 ballots in favor of the resolition and eight absten- tions.
