(NYSE:CBL) WORLD Page 14 THE BATTALION Exporter wins battle against Coca-Cola TORONTO (AP) — Mushi Pardhan had a can’t-miss business plan — buy Coca-Cola whole sale in Canada and ship it to the Far East, where it sells retail for much high er prices. Coca-Cola took ex ception to the small Cana dian exporter, and the en suing legal battle reached Canada’s Supreme Court before Pardhan won an improbable victory Wednesday over one of the world's most power ful corporations. The David vs. Goliath case underscores the thorny global issues that also are confronting courts in the United States and Europe — a clash between estab lished business practices and a growing entrepre neurial spirit exploiting tighter economic ties be tween nations. For Pardhan, an im migrant from Tanzania, ^exporting Coke was good business, with an nual sales reaching $4.8 million. He bought more than 50,000 cases of Coca- Cola a week, then shipped them to Hong Kong and Japan. He paid about $4.25 a case along with a transport charge of $1 each, then sold it for more than $6 a case. But in 1995, Coca- Cola sued, claiming Pard han's practices violated its trademark protection and won a court order to shut down the business. A federal judge in Canada eventually ruled in favor of Pardhan, say ing that he had bought and sold the product legally, and an appeals court agreed. The Supreme Court on Wednesday re fused to hear the final Coca-Cola appeal. Scott JolliHe, one of the lawyers representing Coca-Cola, was disap pointed Canada's highest court turned down a chance to consider issues involved in court cases “going both ways right now” in the United States and European Union countries. “The law in this area is very much up in the air,” he said Thursday.

De la Rua, who spoke at an event late Tuesday to mark the 57th anniversary of the Warsaw Uprising by Jews, said the time had come for Argentina to come to grips with its past. “We have to seek forgiveness be cause Nazi criminals fleeing justice entered our country and hid among us for a long time,” he said. “Some were discovered, others perhaps not.” Researchers working in Argentina have said presidential papers from former President Juan Peron indicate he may have encouraged Nazi war criminals to come to Argentina.
