and. according to some of The lead.
ihS supporters OF the government may
lcopaTdizc tho reciprocity measure
now before Parliament While The
Liberals have accepted the message Of
PRESIDENT Taft to Representative Nc
SAL as the true sentiment OF tho
Washington administrator the wave
o' FEELING that has been aroused in
the Dominion cannot be ignored, and
II is understood that Sir Wilfrid laui
rler early ncSt week will make Il state
ment which will set at rest forcvc,
the idea that annexation OF Canada
by the United states is possible In
Scme quarters the diSavowals of Pros.
ident Taft and Secretary Knox do not
| carry conviction, and the opposition
press is carefully fostering the idea
that they arc tho uttcranccs OF adroit
and clever men, working with the ul-
terror motive OF annexation which
Messrs. Clark and Bennett were too
frank TO conceal. 1t is declared by
government supporters that the rcci-
procity agreement is popular through
out Canada, ana will produce material
results. But sentimental feeling over
shadows it and the suggestion from
the South that tho agreement is the
FIRST step toward depriving Canada OF
autonomy is resented.
\ member OF the government TO-
night said:
Tho government is determined to
put that agreement through speedily
IL il can be done. but If we are going,
TO be bothered by talk Of annexation,
we Will throw the whole proposal
overheard and 20 OH with independent
development under which we have been
prospecting for twenty years, and
which has given Canada more revenue
and railroad mileage per head ana
more general prosperity than any other
country in the world"
While it is recognized that anncNa-
ton talk in the United states has not
reached a stage 10 BE taken seriously,
the fact that it was begun by Amerl-
can public mon has been sufficient to
provide the opposition with Il strong
card against tho government. Other
forces fighting reciprocity have not
been idle, and the cobined results are
hound TO give the government gooG
deal OF concern.
The Manufacturers Associa ton, Que
OF tho strongest organizations i'll Can
ada, although not affected by the terms
OF the agreement, has taken alarm,
from the idea that free trade in nSri-
cultural products will lead 10 free
trade in manufactured articles and
has organized movement against this
measure This, II is said, has been
followed by a curtailmcnt Of credit
by n few Canadian banks, apprchcn-
sivc OF the results OF American COM :
petition
The Intensity Of feeling dcvcioped
against reciprocity among the minority
within fortyeiSht hours is Indicated by
the fact that Il condemnation Of the
agreement, when was first published as
y page display IL /, Montreal paper, Is
being given pupliciiy throughout Can

deniablc fact that the light in Canada
