Europeans Critical (N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) STRASBOURG, Nov. 1. Britain’s emergency economic measures are expected to come under the concentrated criticism of her Continental partners when the 17-nation Council of Europe meets in Strasbourg on Tuesday.

They will confer, as usual, on the progress Inside their seven-power trading group. The Scandinavian E.-F.T.A. countries, and the secretariat, represented by its British Secretary-General, Mr Frank Figgures, have already uttered harsh words about the British Government’s moves. These moves, they said, ran counter to the spirit and letter of the Stockholm convention which created E.F.T.A.
