A

Committee
president
Michael
Killanin
won't
admit
it
just
yet,
but
it
appears
Ottawa
has
won
the
political
tug-of-war
over
Taiwan's
participation
in
the
1976
Summer
Games.
Lord
Killanin
did
his
best
to
portray
the
Canadian
government
as
the
villain
in
the
latest
crisis
to
beset
the
XXIst
Olympiad
here
Monday,
shortly
after
arriving
from
his
native.
Ireland.
He
said
Ottawa's
decision
to
deny
entry
visas
to
Taiwanese
athletes
as
long
as
they
publicly
proclaim
themselves
as
representatives
of
the
"Republic
of
China"
set
a
dangerous
precedent
for
the
Olympic
movement.
But
Prime
Minister
Pierre
Trudeau
took
a
lot
of
the
wind
out
of
the
IOC's
sails
by
citing
a
precedent
established
by
the
IOC
itself
for
the
I960
Summer
Games
in
Rome.
The
IOC,
which
has
been
wrestling
with
the
two
Chinas
question
almost
as
long
as
the
nations
of
the
world,
ordered
the
Taiwan
team'
to
drop
the
"Republic
of
China"
identity
in
Rome.
.
The
Taiwanese
did,
under
protest.
Ottawa
wants
a
repeat
of
the
Rome
decision
and
despite
IOC
disapproval,
is
likely
to
get
1
it.
In
fairness
to
Lord
Killanin
and
the
IOC,
Ottawa
has
been
less
than
forthright
in
the
Taiwan'
affair.
As
the
IOC
president
pointed
out
Monday
"we
didn't
ask
to
come
to
here,
Montreal
and
Canada
invited
the
Games."
Lord
Killanin
said
the
Canadian
government
assured
the
IOC
at
the
time
entry
visas
would
be
provided
all
athletes
and
national
Olympic
committees
recognized
by
the
IOC.
"I
want
to
make
it
clear
that
by
recognizing
the
national
Olympic
committee,
the
IOC
doesn't
necessarily
recognize
the
political
entity.
If
we
followed
the
United
Nations,
for
example,
there
would
have
been
no
Games
in
Munich
because
neither
country
(the
German
republics)
was
recognized
by
the
UN
at
the
time
the
Games
were
awarded."
Lord
Killanin
said
Canada
agreed
to
the
IOC's
conditions
in
letters
signed
by
Mr.
Trudeau
and
then
minister
of
external
affairs
Mitchell
Sharp.
In
April
1975,
he
met
with
representatives
of

department

with

are

Boris
Volynov,
the

commander,
and
flight

Vitaly
Zholobov,

Tass
said
Volynov

them
my
personal
view,
the
first
being
that
Rhodesia
would
probably
be
excluded
which
was
done
by
the
IOC
in
Lausanne
last
year.
I
also
said
I
thought
there
would
be
no
change
in
the
China
situation."
The
IOC
president
said
he
was
"very
surprised"
then
to
hear
on
May
28
of
this
year
Taiwan
would
not
be
admitted
as
trie
"Republic
of
China".
The
Canadian
government's
intentions
were
outlined
in
a
letter
Lord
Killanin
received
June
4.
"I
replied
strongly
that
I
wasn't
interested
in
a
two
Chinas
policy,
what
interested
me
was
getting
the
maximum
number
of
sportsmen
to
the
Games."
Lord
Killanin
argued
it
is
not
the
business
of
a
government
or
the
IOC
to
tell
a
national
Olympic
committee
what
its
flag
or
anthem
would
be.
"That's
their
business,
as
it
would
be
if
Canada
changed
its
anthem
and
flag.
He
also
pointed
out
the
"Republic
of
China"
no
longer
claims
to
be
the
government
for
the
Chinese
continent.
