Tariff reductions take effect over four years, starting Jan. 1, 1968, and ending Jan. 1, 1972. Based on 1966 trade volume, revenue loss from reductions would be $120,000,000.

Tariff Cuts Expected To Create More Jobs By KEN SMITH Canadian Press Business Editor OTTAWA (CP)--What do the Kennedy Round tariff cuts mean to Canadians? For one thing, they are ex- pected to give a renewed push to the country's rapid industrial- ization, creating more jobs. For the businessman, they of- fer a challenge and an oppor- tunity. The challenge is to re- main competitive, at home and abroad. The opportunity is to markets, the reductions impact. win a share of widened export For the consumer, in theory should mean some price reductions in the long run. But since most reduc- tions come in stages and are not complete until Jan. 1, 1972, it's too early to assess the full Some price reductions may come a year from now. Canada is committed to reducing tariffs World Trading Patterns Will Change OTTAWA (CP)--Changes in world trading patterns resulting from the Kennedy Round of trade talks probably will rein- force an already obvious Cana- dian trend--less flirting with the Commonwealth, more woo- ing of other countries. It's not that the talks will make it tougher for Canadian exporters to sell in the Com- monwealth, but rather that tar- iff reductions by other countries open more doors to their salesmen. Britain was the dominant Commonwealth trader at the talks, but Australia, New Zea- land, Jamaica, Trinidad, India, Pakistan and Nigeria also par- ticipated. successful conclusion of For Canada countries, ment. Sales, the round does not upset the isting among Commonwealth but they generally lower the difference between these tariffs and the most-fa- vored-nation rates to all signa- tories of the Kennedy agree- This narrowed difference will mean some increased competi- tion for Canadian exporters in Commonwealth countries as other nations try to move in, but Canadian officials say they expect only marginal effects on Entry for Canadian goods into Commonwealth countries will improve only slightly compared with the significant gains that should be available in other countries. So exporters are nat- urally going to concentrate their attention in these fields, preferential tariff rates now ex-'officials say. on certain tropical food products not later than July 1, 1968. Other savings may percolate through to Canadians as further tariff cuts come into effect on items ranging from linen clothes to European and Japanese auto- mobiles. The round's emphasis on rman- ufacturing is likely to have im- portant implications for the Ca- nadian economy during the next decade. MORE INVESTMENT LIKELY It is likely to touch off a fresh burst of heavy capital in- vestment as business strives to keep itself competitive with the increased challenge for both domestic and foreign markets. It is likely to'mean more em- phasis on research, education and a skilled labor force and that Canadians will hear a lot more talk about efficiency and productivity, Despite the reputation Cana- behind a protective wall of du- ties, major domestic manufac- turing opposition to Canada's commitments under the agree- nent appears unlikely to centre on tariff reductions. The feeling is that most indus- ernment aid if necessary--will be able to meet increased for- eign competition attracted by Canada's tariff cuts of a few percentage points.
