European Free f'I'rade- Seen ' Possible Blow To Canada

by HAROLD MORRISON

Canadian Press staff Writer

OTTAWA (OP)-Fear is mg in this capital that the United Kingdom's plan to link up with continental Europe in a "panial free trade area" may turn leni- porary British import curbs against Canadian manufactured goods into a permanent tariff freeze. A

Concern also is expressed in some quarters that the revolution- ary plan. now in exploratory stages, may widen the split be- tween the dollar and sterling trade areas and drive Canada deeper into the United States trading or- bit. ' '

However. one federal tariff au- thority said that if the scheme works and if Europe, including Britain, "really business ' and shows willingness to sacrifice national policies to build up a big common free market for goods. it could eventually lead a strong European economy. Su an eco- nomy would be in a position to absorb lage amounts of Canadian

goods. . DOUBTFUL OF STBENHTII

But this official said some Euro- pean countries do not have the political or economic strength to undergo the "serious economic ad- justments" required to make such a common market possible.

"Png therefore cynical of the

whole thing." he added.

Most of Britain's import quote- on Canadian raw materials have been reduced, but the hard core of

Ens aspect of the sc eme encouragi to C .11 is that the Eurogn l.e'3'ir:.'il area would not include raw or manufactured foodstuffs, feeding stuffs. drink or tobacco,

Britain is Canada's top when customer. She also buys causal” tobacco. There appears no likeli- hood that the new scheme would disturb this portion of the trading pattern.
