OTTAWA (CP) ~— The Cana diaz. government apparently is prepared to go along, at least part way, with President Ken- nedy’s strong bid for a broad eut in world tariff barriers, in- formed sources indicated Frt- day. But the government will be cautious about changing exist. ing tariff protection for secon- dary manufacturing industries unable to compete with the high-geared efficiency and low prices of industries in the Euro pean Comme Market and the United States.

Furthermore, well - informed officials’ said, Canada is um likely to make any big new trade move until it finds out how much of its export market -in Britain can be protected in the current British segotiations at Brussels for membership in the European Common Market.

The U.S. delegation, headed by Treasury Secretary Douglas Dillon, was understood to have outlined President Kennedy's
