Canada May Quit Vietnam Cease-Fire Panel By April 30
Canada voiced a plan at a Paris conference to withdraw from the International Commission of Control and Supervision unless an international authority is created to handle cease-fire violations. Foreign Minister Mitchell Sharp urged UN Secretary General Waldheim be empowered to receive reports and reconvene the talks, and argued individual members should report violations rather than the whole commission. Sharp warned Canada could exit if the body cannot function effectively as ministers and Waldheim discussed a broad principle declaration rather than binding enforcement.
