British planners looked around for freer outlets for the country's commerce, denied un- limited access to the rich mar- kets of the European Commu- aity by the collapse of the Brus- sels negotiations. The first top-level move in the British offensive was a meeting today between Prime Minister Macmillan and Premier Jens Otto Krag of Denmark, one of Britain's partners in the Euro- Free Trade Association. Krag said after his arrival in Wedne: he. wanted ear more of British plans' bi how we can go further with EFTA," the seven-nation trading group created as British-led rival to the Common Market Six. MAY ENLARGE EFTA British political circles sug- gested strengthening and even enlarging EFTA might help make up for what Britain lost through being excluded from the European Community. Krag was expected to give) Meaemillan a first-hand report on President de Gaulle's offer to help Denmark join the Com- mon Market without Britain. Krag expressed concern over the dashing of Britain's Com- mon Market dream. He said he could not immediately see his country reaching a point where it would have to choose between loyalty to her EFTA partners and the attractions of Common Market membership. If the situation did arise, he said, "I think EFTA will con- sider Denmark's position and help us." Europe's quarrel with de Gaulle deepened following Mac- millan's charge Wednesday ernment "brutally" broke off negotiations for British mem- bership in the Common Market. Macmillan, in a_ television broadcast relayed to six Euro- pean networks, said France 'firmly and rather brutally" brought the 16-month Brussels negotiations to an end Tuesday "not because they were failing but because they were succeed- ing." CHANCE IS MISSED The prime minister said: "What happened in Brussels yesterday (Tuesday) was bad: Bad for us, bad for Europe, bad for the whole free world. A great opportunity has been missed,"" He laid the blame for the fail- ure of the _ negotiations to rance's "backward iooking" government, which szems 'to think that one nation can domi- nate Europe and equally wrong--that Europe can live live alone, without friends and without aillies. "Of course, we must co-oper- ate with the rest of the world: With the Commonwealth, with the United States, in an equal and honorable partnership. And that is why we in Britain are French Backed By Montgomery determined to stand by the At- lantie alliance." | Wreckage Of Euromart Hopes Macmillan called the break- down of negotiations a "'strange paradox." The British leader said the French government apparently hoped: the negotiations in Brus- sels would break down on their! own "for one reason or an- other," "But when in the last few weeks it became clear that the remaining points were about to be settled quite quickly, then the French government brought the negotiations firmly and ra- ther brutally to an end." Macmillan's speech followed strong declarations from other European leaders placing the U.S. MOVE "BOMB TWENTY-TWO PAGES. 3 CANADA'S A-POLI Diefenbaker Has ' t ' OTTAWA (CP)--Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker, appearing up- set, declined again today to make any immediate comment on the U.S. state department's nuclear statement. He also declined to say whether the Canadian govern- ment received a diplomatic note from the United States in con- junction with the press state- ment, The prime minister indicated to reporters outside a cabinet meeting that he will make a statement in the Commons to- day. The Commons meets at 2:30 p.m. EST. "TI don't wamt to give a state- ment by sections," he told re- porters. Asked whether it would be fair to assume that the cabinet was considering the U.S. state- ment, Mr. Diefenbaker said: "That's an almost irrebutable conclusion."" Opposition parties in the Com- mons were expected to attempt to get an emergency debate on the American statement or pro- pose that the Commons resume the two-day international affairs debate that was wound up last Friday. The cabinet session was called for 9 a.m. EST following a con- ference between Mr. Diefenba- ker and External Affairs Minis- ter Green.

Lord Montgomery rose in de- fence of President de Gaulle who is widely blamed for block- ing Britain's entry. "T think it's a great mistake for everybody to slam at Gen. de Gaulle. I know him very well and he is a great, forward look- ing maz." Lord Montgomery added: "The peace of the world really rests with China. China is a great nation and they will have nuclear weapons by 1968. She |has great economic potential. Gen. de Gaulle does not want Russia and China to join up and disturb the peace of the world and I think he's right. "There are people who believe that Russia wants to move west- night that the de Gaulle gov- wards but she could not do so with China at her back, That's! why I think it's a great mistake! to slam de Gaulle. "One of the troubles in the world today is that nations have two policies. The United States always preaching freedom, yet look at Cuba. "Russia has her satellite es- tates to protect her own: intur- ests. China is playing about the northwest frontier of India for her own security." | Lord Montgomery said de} Gaulle thought that if Britain) went into the Common Market| "he would be pushed around by! the United States." "I'am entirely against the! United States interfering ia che affairs of western Europe. The United States does push us around. The tendency is for Britain to be rather pusted around by the United States and I-am against it. I am all for the Anglo-American alliance but all agaisst being pushed around."

Many Russian Said Working With Castro MEXICO CITY (AP)--A Ca- nadia electronics engineer, de- ported from Cuba, says there still are 'thousands of Rus- sians" working with the Castro regime and training his army. "Cuban youths are being in- doctrinated at full speed in the Marxist - Leninist concepts of life; if we don't act with similar haste to erradicate Communism from the - Western hemisphere, it may be too late,' said Eric John Bastin of Toronto. Bastin, who said he spent three months in jail, said the Cuban secret police arrested him one month after he arrived to work as a technician with the Cuban government. He said 20 charges were made against him. Bastin said the Cuban people are suffering from hunger and privations, notwithstanding the fact that the Russians are fed all the time.

U.S. Statement Contradicts PM By DAVE McINTOSH OTTAWA (CP)--The United|- States has jumped feet first into the Canadian nuclear debate with scathing criticism of Cana- dian government defence policy. The U.S. state department is- sued a statement Wednesday night which took issue with al- most every point made by Prime Minister Diefenbaker in the Commons defence debate Friday. There was widespread. spec- ulation here that the statement would provide the flashpoint for a general election call and a campaign fought on the issue of nuclear weapons. Social Credit Leader Robert Thompson described the U.S. statement as "a bombshell to say the least--it could be the Spark to topple the govern- ment." The state department said that shortly after the Cuba crisis last fall the Canadian government proposed "confi- dential discussions" with the U.S, concerning provision of nu- clear weapons for Canadian forces at home and in Europe, It added: "These discussions have been exploratory in nature;. the Ca- nhadiam government has not as yet proposed any arrangement sufficiently practical to contrib- ute effectively to North Amer- ican defence." BELIEVES CAN AGREE Defence. Minister Harkness said Monday that he, believed agreements made at Nassag - » raise no question of the appropriateness of nuclear weapons for Canadian forces in fulfilling their NATO or NORAD obligations." Diplomatic sources suggested the U.S. was well aware such a statement--in effect, a direct rejection of Mr. Diefenbaker's position--could bring on an anti- American reaction but that it was prepared to accept this risk to make its stand. clear. They suggested further that U.S. patience over . Canada's hesitation about acceptance of nuclear weapons had reached the breaking point.
