BRITAIN AND E.E.C.
Sandys Predicts Joining (N.Z.P. A .-Reuter —Copyright I LONDON, April 28 It should be accepted as virtually certain that Britain would join the Common Market in the next few years, the former Commonwealth Secretary, Mr Duncan Sandys, said today. Britain’s opportunity to join would come sooner than many people expected, and if she missed it she would be “irrevocably committed to economic and political isolation,” he told the Conservative Party organisation, the Primrose League. “It would not be healthy for the unbalanced relationship between America and Europe to continue indefinitely,” he said. “It is unthinkable for the people of Europe much longer to be content to stand by and watch their own destiny being determined by decisions taken elsewhere.”
