OTTAWA iCP)-A tariff board investigation covering the euiire Canadian textile industry will open in Ottawa Nov. 18. the tariff board announced Saturday. The inquiry will open with I study of four tariff items relating to wool" fabrics imported under the British preferential, the most- favored-nation and the general tariff. This initial study of the four items will be followed by inves- tigations later of other textile tariffs. - The board said parties intend- ing to participate in the op!!!- ing hearings should provide the board with 200 copies of their briefs at least one week before Nov. 13. The tariff board investigation into the textile industry was an- nounced Sept. 24 by Finance Min- ister Fleming. At the same time Mr. Fleming said the board also will study tariffs on fllsorspar. OTTAWA Jor matters: 1. How to go about calling a convention to choose a new party minister St. Laurent. who an- nounced Sept. 6 he was ready to yield the party helm for health reasons. 2. How to put new spark and vigor into the party organization following the June 10 election de- feat that ended 22 years of Lib- eral governmcnt at Ottawa. The two problems are intercon- nected. The new leader must be in office by the time Progressive Conservative Prime Minister Diefenbaker calls anew election, perhaps next May. The 7&year- old Mr. St. Laurent has made it clear he doesn't feel he has the vigar to head another Liberal election campaign. Today's meeting is the regu- lar semi-aimual meeting of the ex ecutivc committee of the National Liberal Federation Some 1!) per- sons will psrticipnte including presidents of the 10 provincial as- sociations or their representatives (CF)-Key persons in the Liberal party organisation from aciou Canada meet here today.

Speculation is that to- days' executive committee meet- ing ls unlikely to make that de- cision, although it might make a . ommendatlon. , instead. the procedure may fol- low the pattern of 1948 when the late Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced he was stepping down.

Some zuthorities believe i i would have to be rejected on grounds it might wreck huge seg- ments of home industry. Finance Minister Fleming himself made clear the difficulties in accepting such a scheme would be "very formidable." ' ' The free-trade offer, described by treasury chief Peter Thorney- craft as possibly the "most ad- venturous" way of implement ing Prime Minister Diefenbaker's suggested switch of 15 per cent of Canadian imports from the United States to Britain, was dis- closed by the chancellor of the U.K. exchequer at a Saturday night press conference. N0 OFFICIAL ANSWER Mr. Fleming. who was at his side, told reporters his govern- ment had not been formally pre- seated with the proposal and could make no comment until this was done. But from what he had seen the proposal would pre- sent "very formidable difficult- ies" for the Canadian govern- ment. Later. he said it would be "pre- mature" to conclude that Canada had rejected the offer. it is to be taken up at two-day Anglo-Cana- dian bilateral talks to open at Ot- tawa Wednesday. 0 th e r Canadian authorities here said the offer may not be feasible. because elimination of tariffs would mean Canadian ma- nufacturing industries would be pitted against those of the U.K.. and in many cases Canadian pro- duction costs are higher. some fear British manufactur- ers would swamp Canadian-man kets, particularly in textiles. Another Canadian concern is that the European free trade area will mean a vastly-ex- pended European market for the U.K., and this might further reduce Brl t lsh manufacturing costs. MOVE UNEXPECTED The U.K. disclosure hit the ministers ', like a bombshell. Delegates emphasized it was not a matter for discussion at the four-day talks but it was the top item of speculation. Mr. Thorneycroft also an- nounced- Britain finnly backed Canada's Proposal for a full-dress Com- monwealth trade and economic conference. Britain has agreed to set up consultative machinery as um- don. perhaps on a high commis- aioner level, to keep all Common- wealth members continuously in- formed of UK. negotiations to join Europes' industrial (roe lrsde area. The U.K. delegation came away from the Saturday session feeling a sense of "solid deter- mination" among sterling area members to maintain and in- crease the st-eigth of sterling. This morning ministers will take up Canada's proposal for a full-dress Commonwealth trade as former external sf-i fairs minister L. 8. Pearson and. and economic conference. Mr. Fleming was asked Satur- day what his ,-wernr. enlls plans for making the switch of !600.- 0fl).000-s-year worth of Canadian inite proposals Comm nwealth trade and these would be taken up here Monday and Tuesday. Again there would be no advance disclosure. Mr. Thurneycroft said th tariff union was perhaps the "most adventurous" way to im plement Mr. Dieienbakc-r's im- port-switch proposal, but other suggestions might be examined to redirect the axis of Canadian trade. Britain would like to see Canada buy fewer textiles from the U.S. and more from Britain: more British cars and machines. in fact increases could be mads from Britain "all across the board." GATT NOT UPSET Reporters naked whether sure a free-trade union was permis- aible under the General Agree ment on Tariffs and Trade. Mr. Thorneycroft said it was pennie- sible. There would be no "stigma of discrimination" under GATT. If Canada could not agree is the proposal, perhaps such other measu ch as increased Canadian government purchasing of U.l(. goods might be conside ui. Cane- dian government agencies could purchase more from the U.K. and such increases would not necessarily mean more expense for Canadians. After the press conference, Mr. Fleming described as "non- sense" some overseas reports that "his government had aban- doned the 15 - per - cent trade- swilch plan. But he also emphasized that while his government wanted to expand Anglo-Canadian taade, it Thorneycroft said U.K. proposals for an Anglo-Canadian free trade man would be separ- ate from British proposals to join the free trade area of Western Europe. But the reduction of Anglo-Canadian tariffs might be done gradually as envisaged by the European scheme. perhaps over a period of 12 years. EXPRESSED CONCERN Mr. Fleming. asked about Can ada's views on the proposed in dustrial free trade area of Eu rope. said Canada naturally ii concerned that her trade and economic interests there woult not be prejudiced. "At the same time," he addee in a direct reply to a Soviet cor respondent's questions. "we ap preciatet he importance oi strengthening Western Euorpc because it is important to the huttressing of Western defence.” The West European rnarkel was of "very great importance to Canada, Mr. Fleming said ear- lier. Usually she sold about 3100. 000.0'iilvn-ycar worth of foodstuff: to that area. Whcn the amount of food sold to Britain was in- lotlier countries sought cluded. the tolal was vastly yhigher. That was why Canada and ISSHF ances that foodstuffs will not be included in the integrated mar- ket plan. boy a;.7....Jwi.;.. light Keeper's Home Destroyed ("L l imports from the US. to Britain.
