Auto-Pac Confusion-Born By KEN SMITH Canadian Press Business Editor TORONTO (CP) -- The con- troversy over the selling price of Canadian-built cars shipped to the United States under the new auto - trade pact has focussed attention again on the confusion still surrounding the agreement. The pact, basically providing for the abolition of 'tariffs at the manufacturers' Je vél on new cars and original parts ex- changed between the U.S. and Canada, was signed Jan. 16 by Prime Minister Pearson and President Johnson. It came into effect in Canada Jan. 18 by order in council, but still is awaiting. U.S. congres- sional approval. Hearings on its terms are to start in Washing- ton April 27. The decision of Ford of Can- ada to sell 1,200 cars to its U.S. t Battle thousand and one different prob- lems,"' Mr. Scott said. "'When we sat down to try to figure out what would be in- volved in exchanging cars, we found so many complications we ment. "We negotiated a mutually satisfactory price for the cars with our parent. company and that was that. "So far, the results have been very successful and we have a lot of essential information we really couldn't get any other way." | |QUESTION UNANSWERED | Still unanswered, however, is the question of what will happen to the price of Canadian-made cars shipped to the U.S. next year if the pact is approved by Washington. parent during a three - month period for distribution in upper New York state immediately raised the question of how they could be sold there more cheaply than in Canada. The cars obviously have to be competitive and the upper New York prices average about $160 lower than Toronto in equivalent dollars. SHIPMENTS ESSENTIAL ' Karl Scott, Ford of Canada president, said in an interview the shipments are an essential test of the practical aspects of the auto-trade pact and price was such a small factor com- it was virtually meaningless.

He cancelled' their visits so abruptly that The Associated Press reported from India that within a month after) the prime minister was deemed publicly disgraced. The White House said John- son was going to be too busy {not friendly ones. But The AP reported from In- dia it is generally believed there that Johnson cancelled the trip: to show his displeasure with In- dia and Pakistan, both of whom have received U.S. aid, for their criticism of the U.S. If this was the real reason it will mark a turning point in American foreign policy. Johnson's action undoubtedly reflects the feelings of many Americans who are getting fed up seeing the United States lambasted by countries which have received U.S. help.
