Boston, Sept. f5.-''Interesting, very interesting" was the way Congress- man Eugene Foss of Massa chusetts whose recent election inaugurated d countrywide Democratic landslide commented here today on the re- ported negotiations between the Taft administration and the Canadian government on the matter of recipro-
 ''Interesting but laughable,'' Toss coHt1nueG. but the people of coun- try are not going to trust the Re publcan party to give them recipro- city, The people want the real thing
 Hhe Republican party has had it's opportunity to give us reciprocity and fAs failed.
 The election. of myself on a re- ciprocity platform, of Havens in New York, the 'stand-pat' slump in Yer mont, their beating in New Hamp- shire and their absolute annihilation in Maine, has made the Old Guard think. And the Maine election was a straight verdict for reciprocity. The kind of reciprocity the people want is a reduction of duties to the sam e level as Canada. Should this be done we could go to Canada with any re- ciprocity program.
 The Republican party is reading the handWpfting on the wall They are going to be turned out of office by the voters this fal1.''
