leaders over Asian refugee crisis GENEVA CP External Affairs Minister Flora MacDonald said today she has lined Canada up with other countries plan ning to criticize Vietnam Laos and am bodia over the Southeast Asian refugee crisis In doing so Miss MacDonald planned to defy leaders of the United Nations and representatives of another group of countries including Vietnam who have been stressing that UN conference on refugees should be restricted to finding practical humanitarian solutions to the crisis At news conference before entering the United Nations meeting hall Miss Mac Donald said any country with the view that the refugee crisis can be solved without condemning the countries from which these people are fleeing is being extremely naive do not see how in any way you can separate the humanitarian from the political aspects she said STRESSES IEW Miss MacDonald said she stressed this view Thursday night when she was host at dinner attended by the foreign affairs ministers or ambassadors of 16 other countries and met later with representatives of countries such as Malaysia and Thailand to which the In docliinese refugees have fled for temporary asyltiiii She was host of

an estimated 372000 refugees seeking permanent resettlement Miss MacDonald said the majority of the 17 countries to varying degrees feel that Vietnam ambodia and Laos must be pressured into stopping the exodus from their territories She said their two methods of exerting pressure are halting aid to the governments of the three countries and mobilizing world opinion against them so that they are embarrassed into changing political economic and racial policies that are causing the exodus DESIRE ARIED However she said that the various coun tries at the dinner varied in the strength of their desire to condemn the Indochinese countries but we seem to be proceeding along similarlines Swedish Foreign Minister Hans Blix told reporters after the dinner that while anada and others wanted to
