That prospect was seen Tues- day by senior government offi- cials--and hinted at by Prime Minister Diefenbaker--in the wake of the successful French move cutting off Britain's lengthy Brussels negotiations to join the Common Market Six. Hopes of an effective lowering of Common Market tariff walls, one official said, hinge mainly on President Kennedy's wide tariff powers under the U.S. ICELOCKED TOWN communities where heavy snowfall has made it diffi- cult to determine where land leaves off and ice begins.

The union urged in a brief to Defence Production Minister O'Hurley and Labor Minister Starr that the close of the gov- ernment-owned plant be at least delayed until new industry can be established in Lindsay to employ the workers to be laid off. The brief, prepared by the USW's Canadian research di- rector, Harry J. Waisglass, said "over 100 Lindsay workers now are hauntet by the fear that they will soon join the ranks of Canada's hundreds of thousands} of unemployed." | Shutdown of the plant would! mean a loss of purchasing) power of about $12,000 weekly to the community, a '"'severe blow" to Lindsay's economy The town would suffer a $9,000 annual loss of revenue in addi- tion to a water revenue loss of| $2,400. a year. The local hydro! commission would lose about $12,000 a year.

But he said the shadow of President de Gaulle raises a large question mark as to how far Europe may be willing to co-operate in a mutual reduc- tion of trade barriers when in- temational tariff negotiations start, likely next year. GATT TO MEET Groundwork for these vital negotiations is to be laid at a ministerial meeting this year of member countries of GATT-- the multi-nation General Agree- ment on Tariffs and Trade--and Mr. Diefenbaker underlined the meeting's importance in a Com- mons statement Tuesday. "In view of what has taken place in Brussels today, every- thing should be done to speed up the holding of the ministerial meeting," the prime minister said, He hoped it could be "'con- Given For US. And he forecast that Red China will seek "to expand its own influence in the Communist camp and among the unaligned nations, resorting to armed ag- gression to satisfy its ambitions only where this can be done without a direct confrontation of U.S. military forces."

"But as long as we do carry so great a share . . . we cannot escape carrying a proportionately large share of the responsibil- ity for leadership and direc- tion." e program designed He said Canada must "do everything we can to expand multi-lateral trade in all parts of the world through the me- dium of discussion and conclu- sions reached at the ministerial meeting of GATT." Mr. Diefenbaker also pro- posed speedy arrangements for "full and informal discussions" among Commonwealth mem- bers, and indicated he will dis- cuss this with the British gov- ernment during a London visit Feb. 25. He made no suggestion, how- ever, as to the nature of any Commonwealth trade initiative. DEAL WITH TRADE Public statements by Mr. Diefenbaker and other political leaders dealt almost exclusively with the repercussions on trade expected to result from the re- buff suffered by Britain in its strenuous effort to join Europe. Some officials, however, pri- vately expressed deep coticern over the political implications of President de Gaulle's strong op- position to any move that would give Britain amd the U.S. Stronger voice in decisions on Europe's future course. "People are highly disturbed by the whole development," said one informed source. Liberal Leader Pearson said in the Commons his party had favored British entry to the Common Market to help ensure against an imward-looking, ex- clusive policy by Europe.

DON JACKSON WINS TROPHY TORONTO (CP) Don Jackson, world figure skat- ing champion from. Oshawa, has been named 1962 winner of the Lou E. Marsh Me- morial.

For the first time, he acknowledged the United States now has more than 11,00 military men in Viet Nam advising the native forces.

He said the United to amy Russian nuclear attack, striking back at Soviet citises are hit. The defence secretary called for development "on an 'urgent basis" of a new missile to de- fend the United States against intercontinental ballistic mis- sile- attack. He said an increasing milit- ary strain on the Soviet economy might "tend to limit the size and help determine the charac- ter of the Soviet military pro- gram, at least over the next few years." LONDON (AP) -- Duncan Sandys, the British secretary of |state for colonial and Common- wealth relations, returned from the collapse of the Common Market talks today and called President de Gaulle "'a mis- guided man who seems to think that France is Europe and that he is France." Sandys, who flew back from Brussels with Agriculture Min- ister Christopher Soames, added: "This is a very dark day-- as for Europe as it is for Brit- ain. "But we must not regard this as the voice of France, and of course, still less as the voice of Europe... . "I cannot believe that this temporary obstructioni s going to block or deflect for very long the natural course of history."

"T am not a life agent,"' he said. About the effect on the Com- monwealth of the breakdown, Sandys said: "I think this news will be re-| ceived in the Commonwealth with rather mixed feelings, "They will be pleased to know that their goods will have the same free access to the British market as in the past. "On the other hand a lot of them will begia to realize that some of the deals we made for them in Brussels were pretty advantageous and they will be sorry to lose them." For the future, Sandys had this to say: "The next step is to do what we always do and that is when new situations arise immedi- ately to consult Commonwealth insurance outside that European commu- nity is taking a heavy respon- sibility on itself," he said. There were some expressions of hope that Britain still may be able to negotiate its way into Europe. The Canadian government has already said it is' prepared to give tariff concessions in return for the benefits Canada would receive in the multilateral trade talks. Under GATT rules, tariff cuts negotiated between two member countries must be made available to all countries in the trade organization. | One of President Kennedy's powers under the U.S, Trade Expansion Act will be sharply curtailed by the exclusion of Britain from the Common Mar- ket.

But the U.S. act still gives President Kennedy power to ne- gotiate cuts of up to 50 per cent in other U.S. tariffs--and elimi- nate tariff duties of five per cent or less.

Don't let us imagine that there is any magic Commonwealth alterna- tive. If there had been we would have gone in for that long ago." He was asked if he thought that the Commonwealth might now think that it was second! best to the Common Market. "There is no question of sec- ond best," he said, "There is not a question of an alternative or first or second best. We have been trying and we go on trying to develop Commonwealth trade as before." 8 People Dead In Plane Crash KANSAS CITY, Kan.
