FAIR TRADE WITH CANADA
Senator Lodge Favors lt-De
nounces Foss's Scheme.

Worcester Mass, Oct. 2e--After en-
phaticaily declaring that he favors rec-
procity with Canada and has been working
for years TO bring Il about. Senator Lodge,
in q speech at Republican meeting here
tonight discussed Eugene N Foss's scheme
for a change in trade relations with the
Dominion
4 should like fair trade with Canada,
Mr.. Lodge said. IF that name is preferred
TO reciprocity. but Mr. Foss's proposition,
which is that without reference TO Canada
we ought 10 remove or greatly reduce all
our duties on Canadian products. IS not
only an unsound proposition, hut it is
irnpracticable
There are also two serious objections to
it First. il does nothing 20 benefit the
United States But that IS not the most
serious objection 10 Mr.. Fosss scheme
There is another objection which will do
him justice 10 say ] do not believe he
knows about We have over thirty treaties
Of amity and commerce with other nations.
These treaties all contain what IS known
as the favored nation clause. That clause
provides that the parties TO the treaty
will admit each others products on the
same terms as those given TO the mos.
favored nation by either of the parties to
the treaty. If. therefore, we should lower
our duties on Canadian products we should
thereby lower our duties on all those prod
ucts Of every nation with which We have a
treaty of arnity and commerce
