Canada should suspend In our favor
the restrictions placed on the export
of pulp wood from the crown lands.
or course the only inducement that
could be offered TO Canada for these
valuable concessions would be exemp-
ton from the threatened maximum
tariff.
III Mr.. Taft, with or without sound
concessions from Canada. shall decide
that Canada does not impose unduly
discriminating duties on American
goods when she exchanges concessions
with France and Germany. the maxi
mum tariff need not be applied. In
doing this he will be acting in accord

would still be far from satisfactory.
