Britain Backs
Trade Pact for
West Europe

LONDON, Feb. Z (P.-Britair
officially approved today plans to
mold Western Europe into a
giant economic unit capable OF
competing with the United States
and Russia.
The aim is to wipe out tariff
barriers among II West Euro
pean countries and join some
$50 million consumers into a free
trade area and common market
for their manufactured goods.
The government of Prime Min
lister Harold Macmillan an
nounced its approval of the
scheme in a white paper and
proposed that the council OF
ministers of the Organization fol-
European Economic Co-opera-
ton establish the machinery to
negotiate detailed arrangements
The council meets in Paris
next week with British Chan.
cellor of the Exchequer Peter
Thorneycroft presiding.
An OEEC study group already
has announced that technically
it would be possible to set up
such a free trade area in asso.
citation with the European com.
mon market now nearing for.
nation by six West European
countries.
France. Western Germany
Italy. Belgium. Holland and
Luxembourg are putting the fin
fishing touches to their common
market treaty. Over period
of years it would remove tariffs
among themselves and set up
common tariff rules for goods
entering the area from outside
In Mr.. Macmillan's free-trade
plan, the other ii OEEC coun-
tries would be eligible to join
the six common market nations
The other countries are Sweden
Denmark. Portugal, Iceland
Greece, Turkey, Ireland. Aus
tria, Switzerland and Britain.
One important difference in
the two schemes is that each
member of the free trade area
would retain its individual tar
IFS against the outside world,
whereas common market men,
bers would establish a standard
lied tariff against nonmembers.
The British government report
also said Britain must be free
to continue her preferential ar
rangements for imports of food
stuffs from British common
wealth nations.
Britain in the past has baked
at joining a supra national or
ganization, such as the free
trade group she now proposes.
But in a speech after becoming
prime minister last month. Mr..
Macmillan said Britain's "des-
tiny" was in closer cooperation
with her European neighbors.
