al Present.
Opinions OF Leading Speakers on the
Matter

OTTAWA. Ont. March IA.
Wood of Westmoreland, resumed the
budget debate in the House of Common.
this afternoon. The arguments of the hber-
ais were in favor of unrestricted reciprocity
He said those who favored that policy were
found comparing the condition and
progress of Canada and the Uni
ted States, taking each country
as a whole. He gave voluminous statistics
showing the prosperity of the American IN
ion uneyenly distributed between the various
States, and argued that the only fair compar
iso1 that could be made would be 10 compare
the Canadian provinces with Maine, Yer
mont, New York and Michigan. Canada,
by comparison which Sould make better
showing than these states.
Bechard followed in favor of unrestricted
reciprocity. Giqualt replied for the Liberals.
He said that he found by holding the United
States before Canadian eyes as an example
of great progress, he rejoiced in this and
hoped that Canada would continue TO follow
still further in the footsteps of the nited
States in building up industries by means
of a protective policy. Col. Amyrt followed
in a red hot Commercial Union speech. He
declared himself a friend of Canada. He
warned the House not TO put to much stock
in the reports of what England has done for
Canada.
