Trade Wnr INEVITABLE.

President Taft's diplomatic talent
evidently is not of an order to per-
suade Canada to submit tamely to the
arrogant demands of the Aldrich-Taft
tariff. Trade war with our next-door
neighbor and second largest customer
seems inevitable.
Canadian exporters. busily cultivat-
ing the South American and Asiatic
markets which the United States neg
lects, openly advocate standing firm
against the Aldrich-Taft tariff. The

is rejoicing over the situation. Cana
dian statesmen do not give the least
intimation of yielding one point. Can
ada has just entered on an era of won
derful development. Canadians well
come the prospect of the Aldrich-Taft
maximum. because they realize that
the ensuing imposition of 1915 per
cent Canadian surtax on imports from
the United States will shut out $780,
100000 Of American goods each year
and stimulate Canadian industries to
corresponding extent.
The trade war cannot now be avoid
