Barrie Main line of the CNR runs right through Barrie and the CPR main line to Vancouver runs four miles out at Midhurst Only few of the crossings have signals Most give warning only by the white

United Kingdom into the hadebloc Mr Macmillan it is true stated that his government would only consider joining the ECM in the event that its ecial needs could be met and in cations are thatamong the special needs referred to were its trade relat ions with Commonwealth nations and with the members of the seven nation European Free Trade Associat ion The latter objective would not ap pear to poseiany particular problem as almost coincident with the British Pr Ministers announcement Norway and Denmark both gave notice of their in fintion to institute talks with the ECM oc The question with Commonwealth relations however is another matter entirely It may be assumed that the UK government will in the natural course of things give the greatest pos sible consideration to the maintenance of its trade with the Commonwealth countries As result of the recent visits of Cabinet mimsters the Macmillan ad ministration is well informed with re gard to the ideas of these countries hence it is to enter into negotiations with the Six in the knowled of what is required of Britain in matter of Commonwealth consideration 0n the other hand Westminster can go only so far in catering to the Com
