U.S. officials said Sunday the matter is being discussed with the British and appar ently a final decision has not been reached. The United States strongly opposes such a transaction which it feels would punch a big hole in the continuing U.S.

effort to quarantine Fidel Castro's Communist regime. Washington has sought to keep an economic squeeze on Castro to foster internal pres sures against his rule, make it more expensive for -the Communist Bloc to support him and demonstrate to other Latin Americans that Communism is not the road to higher living standards. British Need Trade The British, who need in ternational trade for survival, have a general policy of di-j vorcing foreign trade from political goals and have sold buses and other things to Cuba. It is understood that U.S. officials were told by the British a few weeks ago that Britain is considering a five-year credit guarantee for a fertilizer plant Havana is interested in buying.

The Castro government isj said to be seeking up to a $30 million deal for fertilizer facilities which could give a strong boost to Cuba agri culture. In the British view, Cuba's finances may be strong enough to warrant a longer guarantee than five years. However, five years is the line commonly drawn for normal credit in a transaction of this kind. Longer term credit is generally defined as 'aid." Tempt Other Nations U.S. officials, who have been generally successful in discouraging credits for Castro from non Communist countries, contend that such a deal by Britain would tempt other western nations to open up credit to Havana too.

In the U.S. opinion, Cas tro coffers are too low for him to persuade private busi nessmen to sen to mm, on credit, much of the capital equipment he needs. But if Western governments give guarantees on such cred its, they figure Castro will find much more willingness to sell among Western firms.

He said France "would not fail to contribute to settling the Asian conflict when the fulfillment of the well-known conditions make that settle ment possible." Observers said this was not a mediation offer. De Gaulle was speaking at his traditional New Year's Day audience for the diplo matic corps at the Elvsee Palace, which also was at tended by Communist i- nese; Ambassador Gen.

Huang Chen. The "well known condi tions" include De Gaulle's call on nationwide French television Saturday night that the United States end the war "by withdrawing its troops to its own soil," the observers said. Senior French officials have made it clear France would not directly mediate the war but would be ready to take part in a large-scale peace conference at which Peking would have to be represented Bohlen remained impassive as De Gaulle referred to the conflict in milder terms Sun day than to the French people less than 24 hours earlier. But he smilingly conversed with the French leader a few min utes later. Bohlen later declined to re veal details of their discus sion, or to comment on De Gaulle's Vietnam statements French sources said De Gaulle thanked him for a New Year's message from President Johnson, the text of which has not vet been released here.

De Gaulle Saturday night, in his strongest attack yet on U.S. policy in Asia, said the Vietnam War was "unjust, because it results, in fact, from the armed intervention of the United States on the territory of Vietnam." It was he continued, "because it leads a large nation to ravage a small one."
