Manchester, Aug. 18.
Mr Peter Thorneycroft, President of the Board of Traile, today began his two-day fact- finding tour of Lancashire with a "full and frank discussion" on textile industry problems with the Cotton and Rayon Merchants Association.
Later he met members of the Manchester Cham- ber of Commerce, with whom he discussed what was afterwards described as "the serious implications to the Lancashire textile industry of the possibility of Japan's admission to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)."

Paris, Aug. 18.
Tunisian Premier Tahar Ben Ammar and France's Minister for African and Moroccan Affairs, M. Christian Fouchet, today began serious study of the long and intricate process of granting home rule to France's North African protectorate.
Ben Ammar, who arrived here yesterday, said that his first contacts with the French Government took place in an atmosphere of "mutual goodwill" and all seemed to augur well for continued Franco-Tunísian amity after three months of terorrism.
Talks here are to set the scene for actual homo-culo negotia- tions, which will probably open next month in come town an the French Mediterrancan COCEA
