These reinforce Yankee skep- ticism that the Commonwealth ever was effective, and strengthen convictions that real- ity--as seen through United States eyes--calls for another British effort to join the Euro- pean Common Market and let the Commonwealth go. How prevalent this view is in official Washington is unknown. There is no public evidence for it but certainly the concepts of the late President Kennedy have never been disowned, as evi- denced by the continuance of discord with President de Gaulle of.

C. L.

URGES MARKET ROLE Syndicated columnist Joseph Kraft took a similar line re- cently in urging Prime Minister Wilson to turn his Labor party toward Europe and another ef- fort to join the Common Market family, despife French opposi- tion last time. Britain's world role is dimin- ishing and that endangers Brit- ain's special status with the U.S., says Kraft. Sulzberger suggests that Can- ada, Honduras and Ghana join the Organization of American States. He notes Canada's de- fence links with the U.S. in the North American Air Defenoé Command.

THE OSHAWA TIMES, Tuesdoy, jenuary 25, i5os FF TORONTO (CP) -- Premier Errol Barrow of Barbados says he expects his Caribbean island will adjust to full independence from England this yéar with no disruption of parliamentary government, "When a country has a Parliament for more than 370 years, a constitution, a history of common law and opposition parties, these things simply don't change overnight," he told a press conference Mon- day. : Mr. Barrow is visiting Can- ada to confer with government officials and businessmen and explain the implications of his country's forthcoming indepen- dence. He declined to name a spe- cifie date for independence for the island of about 245,000 peo- ple, which obtained internal self-government in 1961. He said an independent Bar- bados is economically viable. "What we need now from Canadians is light industry and housing developments," Mr. Barrow said. Barbados importa more from Canada -- mostly wheat, flour, salt and codfish-- than she exports. "We get our tobacco from On- tario, not Rhodesia." (Rhode sia, a major tobacco producer, has been placed under an em- - bargo since {illegally proclaim- ing her independence from Brit- ain Nov. 11.)
