ASKS DELAY ON RECIPROCITY
Resolution Adopted by Minnesota
Senate

After a debate during the course OF
which Senator McGrath hotly de.

lied" while making his tariff speech
at Winona two years ago, or is Lying
now when he proposes to remove the
tariff on Canadian products, the SEN
ate adopted the Rockne resolution re.
questing the Minnesota senators and
representatives in congress to use all
the power at their command to post
pone until next December action on
the Canadian reciprocity treaty.
The debate brought out the fact that
a majority of the senator's are not ia.
miliar with the terms of the treaty
and they want the measure laid over
until the farmers of the state learn
its provisions. The resolution was
adopted by vote of 26 to So.
The house passed the Congdon re
apportionment bill by vote of s.
to 81.
