SK—lt may be implied from the French interpreta- tion of the provisions for an agricultural fund, that the French are deliberately obstructing an unbiased solution of the problem for fear of increasing the dissatisfaction of their volatile farmers.
This is undoubtedly the case, but the British (and the Germans) cannot be expected to provide sub- sidies for a largely outmoded French farming system ad infinitum. The time has surely come when, in agriculture as well as in other spheres, the British and interested members of the Six should cease pandering to France. The prospects for our entry are dim indeed if the electorate is presented with thz outlines of an agreement in which it appears that Britain will be helping to subsidise the French farmer, to the detriment of the highly mechanised British and Commonwealth farmers. Important issues such as these cannot be 'shelved,' as is apparently the present view of the British negotiat- ing team, when the future prosperity of our largest industry is in question.
