...nation Common Market, the economic bloc of 160 million customers which France. Germany, Italy and Benelux will launch on New Year's Day. From the start, the British refused to join the Common Market on the ground that they could not abandon their present intricate system of Commonwealth tariff preferences. At the same time, British industry dreaded the prospect of finding its products excluded from the Common Market. As a halfway house, Harold Macmillan two years ago plumped for a 17-nation European Free Trade Area to supplement the Common Market. The F.T.A. would permit free exchange of industrial...

That, of course, would require the British to throw over their whole imperial preferences system of trade. Behind this French position was heavy pressure from French industrialists and farmers to stick with the six-nation community now that the West Germans and other members have conceded them practically all the special protections and privileges...
