VTT ASHINGTON, March 30.-Follow-
wv ing the proclamation of com
w plete tariff agreement with
Canada today. it is announced that
President Taft has invited Canadian
OFFICIALS to a conference looking to
closer trade relations between the Two
countries and to a Beneral feauJu'' :
ment of duties.
The presidents invitation to Canada
is included in an exchange of notes pc
tween Secretary Of State Knox ana tne
dominion government.
The note expresses satisfaction at the
happy termination OF the tarin negotla-
tions and advances the hope that tne
way has been opened for an early
settlement of all differences between
the two governments, including the
troublesome question of the water
boundary line.
The note then expresses the belief
that the time is ripe for a conference
looking to the betterment OF trade re-
lations between the two countries
President Taft from the first dld not
hesitate to let il be known that ne
would 60 a long way to avoid a tariff
war with Canada. Such a war, he be-
lieved. would fall heavily upon Amerl-
can interests and manufacturers.
II was the president who took the
iniative in inviting Finance Minister
Fielding to Albany to discuss the dlI-
ferences between the two countries.
The exchange of views at Albany was
such as to indicate that peace was as
sured.
The charge that Canada was unduly
discriminatory against the United
States originally grew out of the Cana
dian treaty with France, whereby the
latter country was given reduction OF
from 2k to per cent.
President Taft did not take the view
that this was discriminatory, inasmuen
as France in return offered to canada
n similar reduction of rates. The
United States, never having offered
concessions to Canada, Mr.. Taft held,
could not expect such preferential
treatment on the other side.
There stood in the way, however. the
fact that the reductions granted Dy
Canada to France were AUTOMATICALLY
applied to thirteen other countries IN
ciuded in Great Britain's favored ma
ton" policy. This, the president held,
did amount to discrimination against
the United States.
President Taft made the proposition
that Canada would be absolved from
undue discrimination" against the
United States If this country were
given n 21b per cent reduction on the
articles with which American firms
compete with the favored nations" in
the Canadian market. The dominion
government finally agreed TO this, and
on these terms the settlement was
reached.
AS to wood pulp and print paper,
some criticism has been leveled at the
president. 1t was officially stated at
the White House today that these items
did not and could not enter into the
negotiations. The rates and terms of
duty on wood and wood pulp are fixed
in the Payne-Aldrich tariff law and
cannot be made the subject of negotia-
tions on the part Of the president.

SON OF MILLIONAIRE
WEDS A POOR GIRL
PaternaI Frowns Fail to Stop Ro-
mantle Marriage at Pasadena of
Young Harvard Man and
Boston Miss
[speelal 70 The Herald.l

PORTLAND, Ore, March 3O.-An-
swering the call of college day ro-
nance and needless of parternal frown
or maternal pleadings, Raymond B.
Wilcox, son of Mr.. and Mrs. 7. B..
Wilcox, celebrated his wedding to Miss
Helen Healy of Boston in Pasadena
today.
Some few friends in Portland knew
of the impending wedding when young
Wilcox quietly packed his grip and
journeyed to the sunshine state week
or more ago.
Wilcox and Miss Healy obtained a
marriage license in Los Angeles. De-
tails of todays wedding are lacking
here, but advices are that the young
couple were married. T. B. Wilcox,
father of the bridegroom, is one of the
wealthiest men on the Pacific coast.
The romance had its beginning when
young Wilcox was student at Har-
ward. The young woman is said to be
a beautiful girl, but one who did not
carry the key of wealth to unlock the
portals of exclusive Boston society
Some difference of opinion is said to
have arisen between the young man
and his parents because of the fact,
but when the Boston girl came to visit
friends in Pasadena nothing could stop
the flight of the western man to the
eastern girl.
