SAYS VIEWS DIFFER Mr. Diefenbaker said these views run counter to those of the prime minister and External Affairs Minister Martin. They have said that Canada should avoid taking sides in the Viet- nam. conflict while striving to- ward a peaceful solution. Mr. Pearson, just out of a cabinet meeting at which the Gordon speech was reported to have been discussed, said the current throne speech debate in the Commons provides an op- portunity to make statements on Vietnam. The government hoped when the debate ends Friday to begin discussion of departmental spending programs and there would be "ample opportunity" on the external affairs depart- "T don't think any special pro- jto the United States, its biggest GENEVA (CP) Major trad- turned an historic corner in their centuries mated 33 to 35 per cent on world trade now worth $40,000,- 000,000 a year.

Weary from a four-year strug- gle to fulfil the dreams of the late president Kennedy, negotia- tors slapped backs and hugged each other as the announcement of success came a few minutes before midnight Monday night. The accord came after four intensive day-and-night sessions during which the negotiations appeared doomed at one point.

The cost of the program is to be borne by a number of coun- tries, with Canada's share 11 per cent. Canadian Agriculture Min- ister Greene, in Geneva, and federal Trade Minister Winters, in Ottawa, issued statements drawing great comfort from the negotiations. Greene said the Kennedy round put Canada in the big \league. It would gain markets but also give markets. "For Canada it will mean that we are an even more integral part than ever before of a world community," he said, Another official estimated that while the tariff cuts, affecting some 6,000 individual products, will touch on some $40,000,000,- 000 worth of free world trade a year, it will have specific impact on some $5,000,000,000 ticularly on exports.

British - born Eric Wyndham |White, conference chairman, said: "The results we have achieved are a fitting memory to the great president who was lost to the world too soon."' He is di- rector - general of GATT, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade. Many non-tariff import bar- riers are to be modified or eliminated. A new anti-dumping code is to go into force which would scale down the amount of protection given national in- dustry. To make sure there is no sud- den jarring impact on home industries, cuts and modifica- tions are to be enforced in stages spread over a period of some four years beginning next January. Outcome of the Kennedy round was not shared with equal elation by producers of tropical products. Wyndham White said that because of preferences-- apparently referring to Common Market preferences with former African colonies -- the Latin American countries didn't ob- tain tariff concessions on many of their exports.

Mr. Pearson replied that the principles of cabinet solidarity are well understood.

Thirty-nine-year-old Mr. Tay- lor. has been overwhelmingly returned to-his capacity as president for another two-year term of Local 222, United Auto Workers Union. The 17,000 to 18,000-member local: ran its biennial election from Wednesday to Friday last week and gave Taylor a land- slide win as he picked up 6,257 of 8,899 votes cast for presi- dent. Mr, Taylor, running as leader of the Democratic Right Wing Party, becomes the first man ever to win a third consecutive term as president since the union local switched from an- nual elections to votes every two years in 1957, The only h ' other man to win three presi- dency terms in a row was Rus- sell McNeil, during annual elec- tions of 1954, 55 and 56. He re- tired as president in 1957 and became _ full-time --secretary- treasurer up until the end of Jast month when he retired for good. The Unity Right Wing Demo- cratic Party ran a long-time local worker, Gordon Hender- son, against Mr. Taylor. But Henderson mustered only 2,642 votes, according to tabulations completed by the local's elec- tion force late yesterday. Mr. Taylor first gained the leadership post in 1963 with a 295-vote majority over Mal- colm Smith. Smith, now an in- ternational representative of the union in Woodstock, Ont., was president of the local in an off-and-on pattern since 1941, when first.elected. He was re- elected in 1952, again in 1953, 1959 and 1961, but he never "io served more than two consecu- tive terms at a time. "It feels good to be re-elected and feel the membership is be- hind you with a mandate that gives me encouragement to forge ahead and get the work- ers what they justly demand and deserve," Mr. Taylor told The Times today. He says before the year is out he willbe up to his ears in five sets of contract ' nego- tiations for the local. A record 9,046 votes were cast by the membership in the election, as compared to the previous high of 8,400 set in the 1965 vote, when Taylor polled 6,418, ballots -- or 161 more than last week. In the only other election re- sult available today, Demo- cratic candidate Steven Nimi- gon has defeated Nelson Wilson (Unity) by 4,736 to 2,997 votes for the position of chairman of the GM shop committee.

He told Opposition Leader Diefenbaker it is not possible to give a general figure on the amount of duty - cutting that will apply to manufactured goods imported from the United States. Canada did not negotiate at Geneva on the basis of an| across-the-board cut. The Kennedy round, con- cluded in Geneva Monday, pro- vided for tariff cuts generally in the 33- to 35-per-cent range, covering some 6,000 items in world trade, Officials said that for Canada, it means reduced tariffs for about one - quarter of U.S.-Canadian trade. Mr. Winters told the Com- terms on $1 of every $4 in sales to the U.S. will be Canada's most important reward from iffs. able" concessions on cereals. The United States exports $27,- 000,000,000 worth of goods a year and imports $19,000,000,000 worth. Most of the benefits of the lowered tariffs will go to bus- inessmen, especially those in the import and export fields, but some of the savings will be passed on to the consumers. Buddhist Nun Takes Own Life SAIGON (Reuters)-- A Bud- dhist nun burned herself to death here Monday apparently in a demonstration for peace in Vietnam. Phan Thi Mai, a 33-year-old Buddhist teacher, burned her- self in front of an altar on a balcony of the Tu Nghiem Pa- goda, about two miles from the centre of Saigon. The nun left three letters-- one to her parents, one to the patriarch of South Vietnam's Unified Buddhist Church and the third to the chiefs of state of South and North Vietnam.
