FREE TRADE
WITH CANADA
That is the Plea OF j. j. Hill at
New York Chamber Of
Commerce Banquet.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2O-In a
distinctly new world atmosphere the
10th annual banquet OF the New
York Chamber of Commerce was
held last night at the Waldorf-Astor-
Ia Gilbert Stuart's famous portrait of
Washington, ianked on either side
of portraits of President Diaz of Mex
leo and Premier Laurier of Canada,
looked down upon the diners, and
the principal formal address dealt
with the United States and her two
neighbors ON the North American
continent.
The guests of honor were the Brit
isb ambassador, James Bryce; Joseph
F. Godoy, Mexican charge d'Affairs
at Washington; Byron E. Walker
and Clifford Sifton, both of Canada,
and James ]. Hill, the railroad build
er of the northwest.
Calling attention to the close con-
nection between the histories of the
United States and Canada, ]. ]. Hill
showed the Importance of the trade
between the two countries, and scor-
ed what he called the policy OF. mu-
tual exclusion. What the CONNER
eial relations ought to be- he said,
lis indicated by their parallel devel-
opment and the mingling of their
commerce. Without committing any
others here, do not hesitate to de-
clare my own opinion. l believe that
the most natural, the most rational,
the most highly profitable CONNER
cial status between Canada and the
United States is absolute freedom of
trade.
Unrestrained Commerce.
That commerce must eventually
move unrestrained between these two
peoples is self-evident. "Why not
strike of the shackles now and let it
move freely, instead of paying the
heavy penalty of delay? Protection
has no meaning or effect as applied
oy either one of these countries
against the other. Assumption of
some fixed variation in the wage level
Is nonsense. Men are free to come
and go and New England at this mo-
ment depends for her labor, largely
upon her French-Canadian popula-
uOn' Wages do vary, just as they
vary between New York and Colora-
10; but their average under similar
conditions is the same in the two
Countries"
Mr.. Hill declares that by the mid
Ole OF this century the consumption
u wheat in this country would reach
l'SoV,OO0,O00 bushels. The present
PRODUCTION is only one-half that
amount. Whatever part of the addi-
t'On to this country's future food
supply came from the wheat fields
VI the northwestern country, he ar
sued should be allowed to flow IN
enecked to the consumer. Letters
we're read from President Roosevelt,
GOVERNOR Hughes and Lord Grey,
sO'ernor general of Canada.
