Trade Preferences Not Abandoned
Ottawa April 11 Trade Minister MacKinnon dismissed claims Canada would drop imperial trade preferences upon joining the proposed international trade organization. He told the Ottawa valley chapter of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association Canada will enter the conference with a free hand and no commitments on imperial preferences before the meeting. He stressed that tariff changes will be agreed internationally and no nation will be asked to concede tariffs without matching concessions. He said there is no plan to abolish imperial preferences or trade off large reductions in imperial prefs for small US or other tariff cuts. He called world trade crucial for Canada and urged the conference to lower tariffs, end restrictive practices, and foster economic cooperation for world prosperity.
