Police said the money was to have been sent to sweepstake operators in Ireland by the Montreal distrib- utors. ' Provincial police officials de- scribed the operation as "def- initely the largest lottery raid in the province of Quebec at least--and perhaps in all of Canada."

The two homes raided were re- ported to have been watched for several days. The first raid was at Dollard des Ormeaux, near Montreal in- ternational airport, where police jarrested one man and seized several cartons of tickets. The five-man combined force then moved on to Lasalle, a mile south of Dollard des Or- meaux. They arrested a woman and seized thousands more tick- ets and the cheques and cash.

Inatelevision interview later, Wilson said one of the dangers of foreign intervention was that "there are some Afri- can countries who would like to bring in the red army without blue (United Nations) berets." He said British "determina- tion and resolution" in dealing with the Rhodesian issue was preventing this.
