2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesday, August 7, 1962 Oil Industry Buzzes With Takeover Talk By JOHN MATTERS CALGARY (CP) -- Indepen- dent companies, prominent in the rags-o-riches development of Western Canada's oil indus- try, face a harsh set of alter- natives: either to go up in a hurry or down just as quickly. As talk of takeovers and mer- gers circulate in this oil cap- ital, serious thought is: being given to the future of the indus- ing it will pave the way for na tionalization. dustry has the fiercest compe tition in its history.

The setback has certainly cre- ated major problems for Prime Minister Macmillan and his government. At the same time there is a feeling that it was better to break off the talks than reach a hurried bargain on bad terms. There was inescapable ten-} sion in London as the Brussels talks droned into the small hours of Sunday morning. Com- mentators spoke as if Britain . as nearing an epochal deci- sion in her history, Some spokesmen Britain's impending close eco-| nomic ties with Europe to the Norman conquest. One de- scribed it as important as Cael- sar's invasion in 56 AD. The postponement, even) among those favoring the Com-} mon Market, is generally wel-| comed. It is felt that the pace} was being forced and a breath- ing space was badly needed. But Macmillan's timetable has been seriously disrupted. | He had hoped to be able to put} the general terms of Britain's entry to the Commonwealth prime ministers in September, then before Parliament. and fi- In the interim there will be no concrete talking points for market advocates and the op- with Europe will be able to rally forces and consolidate their arguments. Thus it appears that most of the debate during the next two months will be either critical of Britain's entry or laced with doubts and_ reassessments of the advantages. Yet the fact that Britain agreed that the Brussels talks should be adjourned rather than. bow to pressure from the Six, particularly France, will prob- ably be used by the govern- ment as proof that Common. wealth interests are being pro- tected.
