END TALK ON RECIPROCITY
Canadian and United States Conferees
Agree on Tariff Pact, But
Withhold Details.

Washington.-The state department
announces that the Canadian tariff re-
ciprocity pact has been agreed upon.
A Joint statement was issued Saturday
by the United States and Canadian ne
gotiators which read:
The negotiators have reached an
understanding, which, when certain
formalities are completed, will be
made public at Washington and OF
tawa. 1t is thought this may be done
Thursday"
In submitting the agreement to the
senate and to the house, President
Taft will avoid submitting it as a
treaty, which would require two
thirds vote in the senate. Concur
rent legislation in both branches Of
congress making the stipulated rates
apply to Canada can be made effective
with majority vote in each branch of
congress- While the details are with
held, it is understood in general way
that the Canadian duties on American
manufactures are scaled down from
21a to per cent.
This is another form of Canada
granting it's intermediate tariff in
stead of its general tariff on Ameri-
can manufactures.

War Still Is Possibility.

New York-President Taft, In a
speech Saturday night at the annual
banquet of the Pennsylvania society in
this city, opened an active campaign
for the fertilization of the Panama
canal by the United States. He de-
clared that the right of this country
to accomplish that result was incon-
testable and defended such policy.
The president believes that the pres
ent session of congress will appropr1-
ate 100000 to begin the work.
In the senate, the president has been
told, the sentiment for fertilization is
almost two to one. The house seems
pretty evenly divided, but not along
partisan lines. Most of the members
appear to have an open mind, however.
President Taft will bring all of his
influence to bear in favor of fortifica-
ton. In his speech he said that there
were absolutely no treaty obligations
in the way of fortifying the canal; that
the United States had every right and
reason to protect what was purely an
American waterway.

the senate arbitration treaties Of a
broader nation than had ever come
before that body or any other legisla-
tive body of the world. At the same
time Mr.. Taft cautioned his hearers
that universal peace was still a long
way off and he could not conceive Of
any patriotic American being willing
to allow an attacking force free and
equal use of a waterway which was
built by Americans largely as an In
strument for the defense of their coun-
try.
The president quoted from diplomat
ic history to prove his position unas-
sailable, and said:
IF we have to retain a part of our
navy to defend the canal on both sides,
then the canal becomes a burden and
not an instrument for our defense. 1t
ought to defend itself, and we should
have Notifications there powerful
enough to keep off the navies OF any
nations that might possibly attack US. -
The estimated cost of the fortifca-
ton, the president declared, is $4,000
