As To cASADIAN RECIPROCITY.
Authoritative Statement of the Situation
t Actually Exists.

| as It Actually Exists.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Whether or not
the negotiations looking to the settle
ment of the dozen or more issues be-
tween the United States and Canada
| by means of the joint commission now
in session ultimately will fail entirely
can scarcely be foretold here at this
moment. But, regardless of the out
come, 1t can be stated on authority
that the American commissioners have
not. as represented, refused the con-
cessions asked by the Canadians. On
the contrary. the American commits
sioners have listened with the greatest
patience for the past six months to
every argument that the Canadians
cared to present N support of the i'm
portant concessions they desired, and
so far from refusing these the Ameri-
cans have granted some of the most
mpOrtant-concessio that il is ad-
mitted are so broad as to make it diff
cult fol- the American commissioners
TO assure themselves of the support of
their government and congress in al
lowing them.
1t is said further-and this statement
is borne out by the open declarations
of the officials of both the United
States and Canada-that while d num-
Der OF propositions. nearly all of i'm
governments as proper subjects 10 be
considered by the joint commission
with a view to their inclusion in the
projected treaty or series of treaties
il was not expected-although of course
it was hoped - that final agreement
would be reached on all of these sub
iectS. Just such state of affairs as
that expected apparently has now been
reached in the joint negotiations by
the commission. Agreements have been
reached on some questions of the first
importance, including matters that
have been the cause of constant friction
between the United States and Canada
for very many years.
On some other questions the commits
sioners have not been able to get to-
gether; it is even probable that they
never will. The question is whether. in
view of this partial agreement. the two
governments wi | consider it worth while
TO attempt TO base = treaty on those
matters that have already been agreed
upon. The commissioners are not bound
to do this unless they see fit, as il is
understood that in such negotiations
there must be always more or less
trading" in other words concessions
must he made by one party on one
point to secure "a concession by the
second party on another. and it re-
