day that the request was formally made.

DANGEROUS
TO REVISE
TARIFF NOW

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator Hale OF
Maine. in a statement tonight said that
he would do everything within his power
during the Fifty-ninth congress to defeat
tariff revision.
Mr.. Hale said he believed there Is little
real sentiment in favor OF changing the
Dingley schedules. and when analyzed the
movement for revision might be traced
to Democratic sources. He said last
evening:

reciprocity issues is. In my judgment.

CANADA Can
TAKE CARE
OF HERSELF

Boston, Nov. 29.-The sixth annual
banquet of the Canadian club OF Bos-
ton at the Hotel Vendome last night re-
solved itself into an international debate
on the question of reciprocal trade rela-
tions between the United States and Can
ada, Hon. George +. Foster NJ. p, from
North Ontario, one Of the leaders of the
Conservative party OF Canada. opposing
the doctrine championed by Eugene n.
Foss and others.
The toasts and those who responded
to them were as follows:
THE President" responded to by the
national anthem; THE King" Captain
William Wyndham. British consul gen
eral: THE Commonwealth" Representa- =
tive Louis A. rockingham, speaker OF
the Massachusetts, house OF representa- =
tives; Canada, Her Position and Aspir-
ation," Hon. George r. Foster. NJ. p.
OF Toronto: Trade Relations Between the
United States and Canada" Eugene n.
Foss of Boston.
Mr.. Foster. who formerly was intimate
ly associated with the late Sir John A.
Macdonald, and later assisted Joseph
Chamberlain i'm spreading the protection
propaganda through England, was greet
ed with great applause when he rose TO
speak.
After expressing his gratitude and ap-
probation at the welcome bestowed upon
him the speaker said tnat t1r0se who ftved
i'm the United States could not understand
the temper and progress of the Canadian
people.
Mr.. Foster also discussed the reciproc-
ity that formerly existed between the two
countries and which he said. was abro-
gated by the Americans. Now Canada
does not want reciprocity.
Canada" said the" speaker In con-
clusion, has passed from the provincial
to the national stage. and from the ma
tional>to the imperislistic. At present
Canada Is great part in the worldwide
empire and we intend 10 give the mother
country and the colonies the benefit of
our products and our trade. rather than
negotiate treaty that will give us
favored nation preference 10 our own
kindred"
The applause following Mr. Fosters
was prolonged.
Eugene N Foss. who was then intro
duced made plea for reciprocal trade
relations with the Dominion.
