WANTS TARIFF
 AGREEMENT WITH CANADA
Active Negotiations Looking to That End Are to Begin Early In October-No Definite Plan
 of Proceeding.

Beverly, Sept. 15.-President Taft has decided to begin active negotia- lions looking to reciprocity between the United States and Canada early in October.
 It is not true that the president has any idea Of visiting Canada himself in connection with this matter. The sug- gestion has been made that he might himself visit Canada as evidence of the earnest desire of the United States for reciprocal trade relations between the two governments; but it can be said on authority that MT Taft has no such intention.
 No definite plan has yet been framed as to the method of proceed. ure, but, convinced that there Is a mutual desire for reciprocity treaty, the president will take up the matter at the coming sessions of the cabinet in Washington, and in October the first overtures will be made to the Laurier government. probably through the state department
 III hll tulclNlSW lSCCuliy tue pT6Sl- dent expressed his desire to add Cana dian reciprocity to the achievements of his administration, and he said that he would approach the task with as much earnestness as he was able to muster.
 His feeling is that there is great opposition to reciprocity on the part of the manufacturers of Canada but he thinks this can be overcome.
 Accordingly his idea is that the opening wedge in reciprocity is to be made in an agreement with regard to duties on agricultural products. If the same kind of rates are imposed on agricultural products on both sides of the line the president believes that sufficient headway will be gained to rarrant procedure toward the nego- tiation of a general treaty as to all kinds of goods that are exchanged be. tween the two nations.
