LONDON (CP)---Senior Com- -monwealth officials have com- pleted closed-door deliberations to prepare for a meeting of Commonwealth trade ministers in the first half of 1966, prob- ably towards the end of May. It likely will take place in Lon- This five-day session of dep- uty ministers, ending Friday, disclosed a basic conflict in ap- proach which raises doubts over possible accomplishments of the ministerial meeting next spring. Informants said the conflict derives from the differing Anglo-Canadian approach to the value of tariff preferences for developing countries seeking to get more of their manufactured products into the richer coun- tries. countries, struggling to develop industry, should be given a gen- eral tariff advantage or prefer- ence not only within the Com- monwealth but throughout the globe. Canadian authorities believe that too much emphasis is being given to tariff preferences--one official described the current Commonwealth preferences. as "transitory'--and more drive should, be put into the job of reducing most-favored - nation tariffs, the rates which apply Commanwealth canntries, fool. ing-~it must-reserve the other five per cent for Commonwealth partners. This tends to introduce rigid- ity in tariff bargaining-and pre- vents more widespread tariff slashes which, in the Canadian view, would benefit the develop- ing as well as the industrialized countries. One Canadian informant de- picted a possible situation, un- der the British approach, where the United States, the world's biggest market, would be con- fronted by competitive demands for tariff preferences, with Latin America demanding something better than that at- tainable by African and Asian countries. Developing countries have been demanding special tariff from "the richer generally to non-C wealth traders. The argument behind the Ca- nadian view is that if a Com- monwealth country.is prepared to negotiate a 10-per-cent cut in its tariff on a certain product, it may decide it can only negoti- ate a five-per-cent cut with non- countries in order to sell more of their manufactured goods, such as textiles. But, in the Ca- nadian view, tariff preferences do not guarantee sales. India gets a tariff preference in Can- ada on textiles but Japan, a non - Commonwealth country, colle m&re, The key. wae. off. elency~ and this competition in efficiency was hecomine tougher and tougher. The various arguments _on how to obtain expanded trade within the Commonwealth and how to use the Commonwealth to gain expansion in world trade undoubtedly will be reviewed by another meeting of the sen- ior officials in another few months. before ihe ministers gather. One view among senior offi- cials is that while the Common- wealth can bécome a force to pass for means of increasing an imight retaliate by crippling expansion in world trade, it can- not by itself create that expan- sion without the hel of such powerful countries as the United States. The U.S. is gen- erally opposed to the Common- wealth system of tariff prefer- ences cemented at the Ottawa conference 33 fcurs ago.

Zambia wants to support the United Nations resolution to cut off trade with Rhodesia but fears the Ian Smith regime power, transport and coal which Zambia requires to keep its vi- tal copper industry operation.
