Camp aigns For Peace Talks UNITED NATIONS (CP)-- Foreign Secretary George Brown of Britain met Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gro- myko Tuesday night for the sec- ond time in four days, pursuing a diplomatic campaign aimed at reconvening the 1954 Geneva conference on Viet Nam. "The Geneva conference failed once before to achieve a lasting settlement in Viet Nam, but it is still our best hope," Brown told reporters. He has been trying to per- suade Gromyko to agree to re- convene the conference, of which Britain and the Soviet Union are co-chairmen. He re- iterated this appeal in a speech to the General Assembly Tues- day. When a reporter asked him whether he has elicited any So- viet response, he said: 'T wouldn't reply in those terms, I would consider it very foolish. By nature, I.am an optimist. I have had very realistic talks here with Mr. Gromyko and others, and I think now is the time ior R000 ment press, ii.

These three countries make up the International Control Commission, which Brown said should be strengthened with ad- ditional observers and a peace- keeping force so that it could supervise the carrying out of a new Viet Nam settlement. If necessary, additional countries could be asked to participate on the commission. Brown told a press confer- ence there has been no prior agreement by Canada, India): and Poland to take on a larger responsibility for keeping peace in Viet Nam, and he has no in- dication whether they would | agree to it.

But the finance minister won noticeably louder and longer ap- plause for his stand, after say- ing that the economic policy resolutions meant the party re- jected "narrow nationalism and restrictionism" in favor of "'out- ward - looking" policies, Mr. Gordon, MP for Toronto Davenport and finance minister until his resignation from the cabinet a year ago, held firmly to his view that reversing the growing trend to control of Canadian industry by foreigners is.a major problem requiring federal government action.
