Ironic as it may seem, only seventeen years after Ger- many was defeated in World War II it is today laying down the terms which will determine Canada’s future, and the future of many other countries. Writing from Bonn, Ger- many, well-known corres- pondent Michael Barkway wrote this week that, “what- ever terms Britain may even- tually reach with the Europ- ean Common Market, Canada will not be allowed perman- ent preferential treatment either for farm products, in- dustrial material or manu- factured goods.” He added that “by 1970 existing preferences must be tapered off, and British tar- iffs raised to the level of the ECM common external tar- iff. After 1970 Canada will get no firm guarantee of ‘comparable outlets’ for farm products, nor will Canada get free entry for aluminum, or newsprint or wood pro- ducts.” GERMANY DICTATES Underlying the key role West Germany is playing in shaping the new world trade patterns, Bark watsty says: “Here in the West German capital it is possible to get a highly realistic view of the possible terms of settlement so when: the Germans say ‘no more preferences, no guaranteed markets, no free entry for aluminum or news- print’ it must be taken as final.” Barkway’s repo rt from Bonn strikes a serious blow at those industry and gov- ernment spokesmen in B.C. and Canada who _ assured Canadians that the ECM countries needed our raw materials; and that these pro- ducts would likely receive special concessions. Also very disturbing for Canada are reports this week that the six ECM countries have agreed to work out worldwide commodity agree- ments before 1970, under which all countries in the Common Market would be required to accept produc- tion controls. In other words, ECM will dictate to those Countries seeking trade in the Common Market area as to what in- dustries should or should not - exist, and what the level of production should be. Thus, it now becomes clear, that ECM will overide the independence and sover- eignty of countries trading in or with the Common Market bloc.
