MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 19. 1962 A 5 Interpretation of Words Holds Key To Britain in Common Market Editor note Following it the tecond in a leriei of three diipatchei by UPI Foreign N.wi Analyit Phil Newiom on the iubject of the Common Market and European unity; miracle or mirage. By PHIL NEWSOM UPI Foreign News Analyit The men in charge o the day-to-day destinies ot the European Common Market approach their task with al most religious fervor. Among them a favorite ' word is "cohesion." Another is "faith." Their sincerity can no more be questioned than can the undoubted economic success of the six-nation European Common Market whose ori gin sprang from the desires of the six to s- bind them selves together that future wars among them would be impossible. But the words "cohesion" and "faith" are subject to in terpretation and upon how they are interpreted will de pend whether Great Britain is to be successful now in her efforts to join the European community or whether her entry is to be put off indefi nitely, perhaps for years. And upon them also may depend the future of the com munity itself, whether it real ly is the forerunner of a unit ed Europe stronger either than the United States or the Soviet Union or whether Eu rope once more is to fall back into a system of separate al liances and power blocs sub ject to old jealousies, suspi cions and ambitions. Other Nations Interested The community which Bri tain seeks to join is com posed of France, West Ger many, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Luxem bourg. Upon British entry also de pends membership for Den mark, Norway and Ireland. And conditional upon thai Is the question of associate membership for Sweden, Switzerland, Austria and Por tugal to whom Britain is bound through its ties with the European Free Trade As sociation. And beyond that is the hope of an economic and poli tical force binding 300 mil lion West Europeans. When the Common Market spokesmen speak of "cohe sion," they speak of the forces which have brought the six through the early cri sis of organization and anoth er which brought them to agreement on the thorny question of agriculture. The forces of cohesion, they say, already are at a minimum and might disap pear altogether should rules of entry be relaxed. Therefore, they speak of "faith" which is a broad defi- Bey Scouts Pack 5 The December meeting for Cub Scout Pack S was held in the Jefferson school gymnas ium recently. Attending were Cub Scouts and their families, and Cubmaster Wayne Ben nett, who presided for the wc tivities. The flag ceremony was conducted by Den 8. Den 4 decorated a Christ mas tree with ornaments they had made during recent den meetings. The wild frontier, complete with Indians and Daniel Boone himself, (all portrayed by Den 2) was the setting for a skit entitled, "Daniel Boone's Escape." Den 8 presented "Tree of Many Lands." They trimmed a Christmas tree with orna ments representing different countries of the world and closed with the singing of the carol, "O Christmas Tree." Richard Snow was escorted to Akela's council for induc tion into Cub Scouts and was presented his Bobcat pin by his parents. R. E. Pope awarded denner stripes to Douglas Wiley. Cub Scouts brought gift wrapped cans of food which will be combined with similar donations from Boy Scout Troop 105 of Jefferson school and given to needy families. The Pack members sang and Mrs. L. H. Trask, Den Mother for Den 2, played pi ano accompaniment. The evening's events were climaxed by the arrival of Santa Claus who brought candy treats for all. Den 2 again had the highest repre sentation at the meeting and for the third consecutive time was awarded the "Cubbie."

One of Exponents Walter Hallstein, presi dent of the Common Market's ruling commission, is one of the foremost exponents of co hesion and faith. Hallstein, a German, is graying and precise even to the way he combs his hair. He is, in Brussels parlance, a federalist, one who favors close European political union under a powerful Eu ropean parliament. He would like political union now but he agrees that it must come slowly, not un til after Western Europe has been able to settle on a com mon nuclear policy. In his comfortable office in the commission's modernistic office building just off the Avenue de la Joyeux Entrei (Street of the Joyous En trance), he says: "The creation of a united Europe requires both respon sibility and trust. " . . .The task cannot be accomplished overnight. That is why so many of the solu tions so far envisaged in the British negotiations may seem vague or insufficient - prom ises, procedures, declaration of intent to be set in motion in the future. "But that is precisely what the EEC treaty was in 1957 -and look how far we have come since then!" Can Quote Figures Hallstein can quote impres sive figures: Internal farm tariffs among the six cut 35 per cent, in dustrial tariffs 50 per cent and with a chance that all in ternal tariffs will be abolish ed by mid-1967, two and a half years ahead of schedule. The gross national product of the six up 24 per cent be tween 1958 and 1981. Industrial production up 29 per cent. External trade up 27 per cent as compared with 19 per cent for general world trade expansion. Those within the Common Market who frankly expect failure in the current negotia tions with Britain do so on three counts: - That Britain still regards t h e European community simply as an enlarged mar ket and not as a real com munity with political as well as economic goals, thus dis torting her vision. - That Britain's position on agriculture is unrealistic. - That the Macmillan gov ernment errs in attempting to keep the question out of British politics - that the move is so important to Brit ain that it should become a major issue in a British gen eral election. To which the British reply: "Who are they to tell us how to run our country?"

And In a marble-lined sec ond floor office, Lord Privy Seal Edward Heath received this correspondent during a breather between sessions of Parliament and his job as Britain's chief negotiator in Brussels. Heath is a handsome, rud dyfaced man with an eye to history.

Heath has been tagged by many as the next conserva tive prime minister of Great Britain and he knows the consequences if he fails at Brussels. Has Accepted Consequences Britain, he says, has ac cepted the political and eco nomic consequences of enter ing the Common Market but has asked for certain adjust ments - adjustments to come into line with Europe's more costly price supports for agri culture and adjustments to protect Commonwealth prod ucts which now come into Britain duty free. Has Britain a deadline on negotiations? "No. We will negotiate as long as necessary." Arc the negotiations more difficult than expected? ' "We thought they would be difficult but not that they (the six) would be so unreasonable." Heath's determined opti mism that the current nego tiation will end in success is not shared by Harlld Wilson, former chancellor of the Ex chequer and a member of the Labor party's "shadow cab inet." He believes the Macmillan government's obvious anxiety to enter the market has de stroyed the British bargain ing position and that no agreement a c c e p table to British agriculture and to Commonwealth exports can be reached.
