considering this and the rigures which it
contains and will let you have are comments
as quickly as possible.
But we fear that we
shall not be able to reach firm views on what
should be done in time for your talks with
Canadians this month. In these circumstances
we suggest that your line at those talks should
be to probe the Canadians position fully with
particular reference to following points:-
१
(a) Extent of injury to domestic industry
taking into account cetten as well as
non cotton items.
(b) which countries are causing the damage.
(c) To what extent restraints are already
imposed and 'at what levels.
(d) Further details of maximum levels
of restraint which Canadians would
find acceptable.
4. On basis of all this information you could
undertake to give urgent consideration to
Canadian case with a view to reaching rirm
before
decisions after current arrangement mentioned
in your paragraph 2(d) expires.
6. Meanwhile we are urgently seeking information
about the current position with regard to restraints
on Japanese exports to Canada which would seem
to be relevant.
