However, the missions' plans to meet with U Thant, United Nations secretary-general, are still being pursued and a con- ference may be scheduled within the next few weeks at Geneva. It is understood that if the mission makes this trip, the members may be accompanied by Canada's Arnold Smith, the new Commonwealth secretary- general.

He said $75 comes "'nowhere near what Canadian auto work- ers have a right to expect." Earlier, Mr. Burt had argued that the auto companies will save $50,000,000 in taxes under the new auto pact, which ends tariffs and merges the Cana- dian and U.S. auto industries into one economic unit.

In March of this year the weekly average was $138.14 in auto plants and $111.38 in parts plants, but the $115.21 is on which the 65-per-cent benefit maximum is based. At the same time, Industry Minister Drury announced a $10,000,000 federal loan fund to help finance expansion of small auto parts firms who must in- crease their capacity to take advantage of the tariff-slashing auto pact. e loans will be at six-per- cent interest, repayable in 10 or 20 years depending on the type of project.
