Presidents Proclamation, prohibiting trade with the
British colonies, in obedience the act of Congress
of March 1922 and of the lucid statement of the
Colonial question: in article extracted from the
National Inicliigenccr of Saturday.
The artfu policy of the Oppossition, in rejecting
the bill of the last session, has become apparent The
President is forced 10 prohibit the trade with the 81
tish colonies-and il iorescen and intended that
he should incur the Grst oduIn, which will be the ma
tural result OF that step. This was no doubt taken
into consideration at the midnight caucuses and is tho
iru'oi the ''nocturnal combine 10 put down the
present Administration.
We are prepared TO hear the Jackson pack open
IN full cry upon this But the good sense of the
country will that the prohibition OF the trade is
duty imposed by law upon the President, which leaves
HIM alternative. The same good ill demand
Ut the Opposition, why t'.s p-or cncd Legislation on
the subject after reprmandng the Administration for
not composing the difficulties in the way OF recprocai
legislation? 1t will be recolec,ed that tie bill was
lost IN The Senate, where the Opposition boast they
have majority and by their per,inacous adherence
TO the Canada amendment.
