RECIPROCITY DEAD
ISSUE FOR CANADA
So Says Premier J. Douglas
Hazen, of New
Brunswick.

BOSTON, May 26.-The New England
advocates Of reciprocity with Canada
are sadly disappointed here today in
J. Douglas Hazen, premier of. sNew
Brunswick. who claims that reciprocity
IS a dead issue in Canada.
AT the present time" said Premier
Hazen, no party in Canada. no Cana
dian public men. no business men. no
representatives Of any class, favor reci-
procity.
Alfred 3. Morine, K G, who spoke
with Premier Hazen here last night,
took direct issue with Representative
Foss' statement that the attitude Of the
United States should be that "of an elder
brother toward a younger sister"
If II were permissible to criticise
kindly meant words. my comment would
he that Canada does not ask for the
self-sscrihcing regard due 10 a sister by
an elder brother but only for that con-
sideration due between equals. You
must treat Canada on the footing OF
equality" he said.
