Mooney for that purpose.
Here are some samples from the

TREATY
IS DREAM OF KNOX
Wants Closer Trade Relations
With Canada.

Washington, March 81. - Canada
and the United States have practi-
cally agreed upon negotiations for
drafting a reciprocity treaty. Next
to the averting of a threatened trade
war between the countries, this Is
the most important result Of the tar
If conferences between President
Taft and w. S. Fielding, the Domin-
ions minister of finance.
The probability of reciprocity nego-
tiations were disclosed in the an
nouncement by the state department
of the trade agreement that has been
reached with Canada. Cores 1oLdence
that has passed between Secretary
Knox and Mr.. Fielding shows that
the secretary of state already has
suggested, by direction of the presi.
dent, that negotiations be begun with
a view to readjusting the trade rela-
tions between the countries along
more liberal lines. The secretary has
formally expressed the hope that the
trade relations will be governed by
"the spirit of cordial reciprocity and
independence"
