ber press secretary said Wednesday. Spokeswoman Elaine Crispen said that From local and wire reports U.S. denies trade war in Canada tariff flap itiiiiiL pii Qtf 1Hn 3 it -y not believe trade tensions would escalate into a full-scale dispute but said fears of that possibility pushed Canada's currency to a low yesterday of 71.70 cents. It gained to close in Toronto at 71.89 cents. They said the fears would push the Canadian dollar lower today.

A lower Canadian dollar means reduced costs for U.S. tourists. The baek-and-forth tossing of penalty duties is occurring even though President Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney have staunchly espoused a "free trade" policy. Even before the Canadian dispute, the United States had been engaging in an escalating trade war with the 12-nation European Economic Community over farm exports. Canadian officials said the U.S.

action had caught them off guard and that they ran directly counter to the administration's stated free-trade principles. Reagan sent a private note to Mulroney that "expressed regret that the prime minister was caught by surprise" by the U.S. wood product decision, said Deborah Busker, a spokeswoman for U.S. Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter. However, the administration was standing by its tariff action.

She said the measure was "a very clear, transparent process" of which Canadian officials were aware. "We do not think that we are entering into a trade war," White House spokesman Edward Djerejian said. "It is certainly not our intent and we hope that it is not the intention of Canada." However, the flap "certainly can't help" the prospect for agreement on a free-trade pact, said Steve Hilton, an aide to Sen. John Danforth, who is chairman of a Senate subcommittee on trade. Further escalating the battle of subs'dies was a 4-2 ruling this week by the U.S.

International Trade Commission imposing penalty duties of up to 41 percent on Canadian steel products used in oil and gas wells. Combined news enrices WASHINGTON U.S. officials deny that a tariff battle with Canada is turning into a full-fledged trade war, but they say the confrontation isnt exactly helping trade relations. And, despite the flap, leaders of both "nations have vowed to go ahead with negotiations on a free-trade pact to eliminate all tariffs, quotas and other subsidies that now impede U.S.-Canada trade. Canada Monday imposed duties on S.

computer parts and on some books and magazines. The decision was being reviewed by U.S. officials. "It is fairly obvious that the Canadian action will have a negative effect on U.S.-Canada trade," State Department spokesman Bernard Kalb said yesterday. "We are in the process of analyzing the Canadian proposal to try to determine the extent of this effect." Canada's action was in response to a U.S.

move in late May to impose duties of up to 35 percent on Canadian cedar shingles. The administration said it was acting to help the U.S. lumber industry in the Pacific Northwest.
