Comments On British Role In Free-Market Movement

By FORBES Iuwnn Canadian Press Business Editor Britain is likely to become a parl oi free-market developments at Europe in the opinion. of Lord weeks. British industrialist.

-11 is almost impossible for her to keep out of it." he told a press conference in Toronto.

The conference was held by ;1a.,ey - Harris - Ferguson Ltd.. tam, . machinery manufacturers, zn introduce Lord Weeks and the nag-quess of Abergavenny. both of nhulll have been elected directors.

cal. W. Eric Phillips, chairman ,1 the company. when asked what in thought of the tree - market moiemcnt. said:

”I think the broader a trade irea. the better you can manoeu- vre-so the result should be favor- able.”

WIDESPREAD EFFECT

it would. however, have ”pro- lound effects" on the company. Plants built up within historic tar- iff barriers probably would face iiperation changes.

specific products would be made Ill plants best suited to their man- ufacture and distribution. For in- stance. under a free-trade set-up, there probably would be little point in making the same thing in plants in both France and Ger- IIIHTLV.

The free-market movement in Iiiii-ope is a long-range matter nltose pace. however. appears to

be quickening.

Representatives of France, West Germany. Italy. The Netherlands. Belgium and L xembou g, rec- ently agreed on a formula for gradual removal of tariffs among those countries over a 12-year. or perhaps longer, period. The agree- ment has yet to be officially signed and to be ratified by the various parliaments.

Britain has approved plans aimed at a similar area among 17 countries-including the six in the present lagreemcnt-with the proviso that she be free to con- tinue preferential arrangements for Commonwealth foodstuffs. PROMJNENT BIIITONS

In the additions to its board. Massey - Harris - Ferguson gets a British industrialist and a British agriculturist.

Lord Weeks recently retired as chairman of Vickers Ltd., but is still a director of it and several other large British companies.

The Marquess of Abergavenny is an official of several British agricultural organizations and is himself a farmer. At his family seat at Eridge Castle. Sussex. he controls an agricultural and wood- land estate of 5.300 acres, of which he farms 500 acres himself.

The estate includes 1,100 acres which has been a deer park for 1.000 years. Now. however, the marquess is beginning to till it by sections and the deer park will be

cut down to 300 acres.

BRITISH MARKET

The Marquess says there is a big market in Britain for farm machinery.

The large farmer, already me- chanized. would continue to offer a steady market. but a new mar- ket is being offered by the small farmer of 100 to 150 acres, who must mechanize to make a living.

The tractor and small combine -a combine with about half the cutting width of a Western Cana- dian combin -" '3 sell well, with perhaps two small farmers joining in a combine purchase.

Massey - Harris - Ferguson, as stated in the annual report. at Oct. 31 held an IBV4-per-cent interest in Standard Motors. British auto- motive company which makes their Ferguson tractors.

Asked whether there might be integration of the two companies, Col. Phillips said:

"Our position in Standard Mut- ora is merely as an investor. There will be no integration. That (the motor-car industry) is not our business."

Lord Weeks first visited Canada in 1911 and has been here every year since 1936. The present is Lord Abergavenny's second visit. Both were already members of the Massey-Harris-Ferguson Brit- ish operation. which has factories in Manchester and Kilmarnock.

James Tuplln and James Gord- on bought their first pair of foxes in 1891 for 5340. and successfully raised a litter the next year. From the best records available it ap- pears that B.l. Rayner startcd raising foxes about 1896. while his father Silas Rayner. began a lit- tle later. The two Rayners. James and Robert Tuplln and James Gor- don were closely associated with Oulton and Dalton from the early days and were sometimes referr- ed as "the family circle.” They did a fine job of keeping the fox and refused to sell breeding stock However. Frank Tuplln bought a pair from his uncle Robert at an early date and developed his ranch to a considerable size. He was the first man to break the family compact and he sold several pairs to J. S. Hinton of the RT. Hol- man Co. Ltd.. Summerside. That started the others selling. 40 PER CENT

Later. in 1913 Charles Dalton sold his' goodwill. ranch and twenty pairs of proven breeders to the Dalton Fox Company. Ltd. for 3500.000. The company guaranteed the investors a dividend of 40 per cent. The foxes were ranched at the home ranch in Tlgnlsh and the rancher was an elderly man who understood foxes and they lik- ed him very much. It was situated in a woody spot quite a distance from the noise and clamor of the outside world. The new comPIn.l' built a ranch at Southport and moved the foxes there in the sum- mer of 1913 and they sold options on pairs for delivery September first for as high as 313.000. The company easily earned the divid- end of 40 per cent.

The office is the tradition head- quarters of Sinn Fein, which has' entered 19 candidates in the March 5 Irish general election. it is the rallying point for those lrtshmen who believe that only by militant, methods can the border be abol-' lshed between the 26 counties of the republic and the six counties of British-aligned Ulster.

It is the party generally accepted as the political arm of the Irish Republican Army. whose com- mando - type forces have been blamed for the recent outbreak of terrorism in Northern Ireland. FORESEE REVIVAL

A dominant force in Irish polit- ics until its ranks were split by the civil war of 1922. Sinn Fein is looking to the election to act as a springboard for future revival.

There is. too. a growing revul- sion in the republic against the continuing violence along the bor- der and a feeling that such action can only widen the gulf between North and South.

Yet there is an undercurrent of admiration among republicans of all shades of political belief for the Sinn Fciners' unrelenting attitude to partition. '

''I think these bortier raids are a had Iliing. but you must admit they're brave lads." is a typical comment.

What troubles thoughtful repub- licans more than the raids is Sinn Fcin's declared policy of severing all British economic links if they take power. Ireland's currency is supported by the sterling area and Britain is the main market for her agricultural products, the back- bone of the economy.

”The Lord protect us. weld starve to death if we lost the Brit- Ish market," said a sturdy Wick- Iow farmer. "And then what would
