FRIENDLY RELATIONS
DEMANDED BY THE MASSES
OUT OF DIFFERENCE TO AMERI-
CAN PEOPLE RATIFICATION

Washington, April president
Taft today transmitted to the special
session of the Sixty-second congress
his first message, urging early action
on the reciprocity agreement with
Canada. He stated that he based his
message in Difference to popular SEN
timent and as duty to the great
mass of the American people.
This agreement" says the mes
sage. was the consummation of an
earnest effort extending over a period
of nearly year, on the part of both
governments, to effect trade arrange
ment which, supplementing as it did,
the amicable settlement of various
questions of diplomatic and political
character that had been reached,
would mutually promote commerce
and strengthen the friendly relations
now existing. When the full text of
the agreement, with the data explain
ing both it's purpose and scope became
known to the people, it was immediate
ly apparent that the ripened fruits
of the careful labors of the commits
sioners had met with widespread ap-
provai. This approval had been
by the fruther cons1dera-
ton of the terms of the agreement in
all their particulars. The volume OF
support which has developed shows
it's broadly national scope is fully
appreciated and is responsive to the
popular will. l am constrained IN
Difference to popular sentiment ana
with a realizing sense of my duty to
the great mass of our people whose
welfare is involved, to urge on you
earnest consideration and early action
on this agreement"
The message was this afternoon
read in both houses. 1t was listened
to without applause and referred to
the appropriate committees.
The house then took up the adop-
tion of the new rules, limiting gener-
al debate to four hours, equally dlVld-
ed. before a vote. The rules also
