...multilateral agencies lift some of the financial burden from the sweating shoulders of the American colossus. However, the distasteful political system they posit will repel most nations. Smithies' plan takes that into account. "The most suitable multinational arrangement would be a consortium (including) the U.S., Japan, Australia, Thailand, New Zealand, Korea and the Philippines," he writes. "But the club should not be exclusive. Canada, for instance, should be included...

His first production, the 1954 series Robin Hood, is still being rerun in Poland, Kuwait, New Zealand and many other countries.

His country will be allowed to export 80% of its present butter sales of 170,000 tons annually to the Common Market for five years, after which the concession will come up for review. Britain can then lobby for an extension. But New Zealand's cheese sales will be phased out during...
