TWENTY-TWO PAGES Some Cuts | In Tariff Arranged OTTAWA (CP)--Canada has; jumped into a round of inter-| national tariff-cutting with an agreement on tit-for-tat tariff reductions on Canada - United States trade. The agreement, announced to the Commons Wednesday by Finance Minister Fleming, af- fects some $128,000,000 a year) in Canadian - American trade. This is only a fraction of the $7,000,000,000 in total annual trade between the two coun- tries. | It is one of a series of tariff- cutting agreements made by the United States with the Eu- ropean Common Market, Brit- ain, Japan and 11 other coun- tries. ; Under rules of the General Agreement on Tariffs and) Trade, the other tariff reduc-| tions must be passed on to other GATT partners, including Canada Mr. Fleming told the Com- mons this will mean 'greatly enhanced prospects for Cana- dian exports" which will bene- fit almost every sector of the Canadian economy. SOME GAINS SMALL Officials said there is no clear indication yet whether the tar- iff cuts will result in savings to the Canadian consumer. The) reduction on grapefruit juice for example is to 7% per cent from 10. This would be less than one cent on a large can. neva which began last May-- was welcomed by Opposition Leader Pearson and CCF spokesman Erhart Regier. The tariff cuts between Can- ada and the U.S. will go into effect 30 days after the two countries give each other for- mal notice. The Canadian government has power to put the reductions into effect without parliamen- tary action. The American redyction--a two-stage move not fully effec-| tive for a year--will be carried out under powers given Presi- dent Kennedy by the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act. The president is seeking con- gressional approval for broader powers to bargain for recipro- cal tariff reductions with other world trading countries--a de- velopment which presumably could touch off another major round of GATT tariff bargain- ing. MORE MAY FOLLOW However, the present round of tariff negotiations has not yet run its course, and Fleming indicated that Canada may be making further tariff) cuts in return for concessions from other countries. Under the Canadian US. agreement, Canada will cut 61 items on American goods which averaged about $63,000,000 an- nually in the 1958-60 period.
