Led by the New Democrats, the opposition demanded a spe- cial debate on spreading layoffs and price increases in the atto- mobile industry which they say infringe the provisions of the U.S.-Canada auto trade pact. Speaker Lucien Lamoureux ruled out of order the motion for the debate proposed by Reid Scott (NDP--Toronto Danforth). He said the matter was not suf- ficiently urgent to push aside regular business. NDP Leader Douglas followed with a request to Finance Min- ister Sharp to set up a prices review board to study all in- creases in the cost of living to determine whether price in- creases are justified. Mr. Sharp branded the pro- posal as a "superficial way of dealing with the fundamental proiem" and said he has no intention of setting up such a board.

In a surprose vote, delegates approved by a majority of 1, 207,000 a left-wing resolution urging the government to put all pressure on the United States to end the war in Viet Nam, and calling for a halt to U.S. bomb- ing in North Viet Nam. The ruling party's annual con- vention approved a demand by Cousins, former cabinet minis- ter, and former navy minister Christopher Mayhew that the government make phased cuts in British military commit- ments east of Suez. The. victory, under the block- voting system used at the con- 538,000 votes out of a 6,500,000 total The government defeats came after Foreign Secretary George Brown outlined a six-point Viet Nam peace program, beginning with a parley at which the Viet Cong would be seated. But the conference approved by an overwhelming majority the party national executive's statement on all overseas pol- icy. The vote here was 4,960,- 000 to 545,000. He suggested ofa possible Viet. Nam settlement: 1. A peace parley should meet as soon as possible with the Na- tional Liberation Front of the Viet Cong directly represented. 2. As soon as peace talks are agreed in principle; ~The Americans should quit all bombing and should not resume again unless negotia- tions fail and the war re- starts. | --Reinforcement of American| and South Vietnamese forces! should cease. } --Dispatch of North Vietna- Mmese troops and supplies southwards should stop. 3. High commands on both Resolutions passed here are not binding on the government. Asked if the. rebel wins would be. ignored, George Brown -re- plied: "TI wouldn't say that." But the victory was seen as a one more than anything else. The narrowness of the Cousins Majority was emphasized. The leadership's majority was about 9 to 1. The rebel resolutions endorsed were the mildest of six placed before the conference. Brown, who flies to the United States Friday, urged, the Soviet Union, co-chairman with Britain in the 1954 Geneva conference on Indochina, to join in-an im- mediate meeting to get the Peace proposals under way. Brown said he will urge his peace proposals on Russia's for- eign minister, Andrei Gromyko and American. State Sec: Dean Rusk. : As the foreign secretary spoke, scores of demonstrators demanding peace in Viet Nam paraded outside the convention hall. In the debate itself speaker after speaker urged that the La- bor government should dissoci- ate Britain from President Johnson's policies in Viet Nam, But this, Brown made clear, the gece does not propose to 0. cide, without foreign intere ference, if, when and how. re- union should take place. 4. The whole country should be neutralized, shutting its doors to foreign troops, bases and mile re involvement. Inline with is: ~--Americans and North Viet- namese should set a timetable for simultaneous military withdrawal from South Viet Nam, including the liquidation of any bases. This should be completed within two years after ratification of a final set- tlement. 5. All the foregoing measures hould be conducted under .in- Sides as soon as possible, and simultaneously, should order their forces not to initiate new attacks, as a preliminary to a ceasefire. The ceasefire should be negotiated by the conference at the same time it tackles a Political settlement on the lines of the 1954 acraamente This political settlement should provide: ternational supervision--and an international program should be launched to help repair the ravages of war! 6.
