he has had enough support so that the
bill has never been in danger of de-
feat or serious amendment since the
session began.
Canadian reciprocity in its present
form is the outgrowth of the confer
ences with Dominion representatives
over the settlement of the maximum
and minimum rates of the Payne-Ald-
rich law of 1909 President Taft, w.
S. Fielding, minister of finance of
Canada, and William Patterson, min
lister of customs, met at formal con-
ference at Albany, N. Y, in March,
1910, for the first discussion of the
subject. Open negotiations began in
November, when Henry H. Hoyt and
Charles NJ. Pepper of the state depart
ment went to Ottawa to confer with
Canadian government officials.
In January Ministers Fielding and
Patterson came to Washington to COM
plete the work. From January 8 to
January 21 these Canadian represen-
tatives, closeted with Secretary of
State Knox and other officials in Wash
ington, threshed out the provisions of
the reciprocity agreement that was
later submitted simultaneously to the
parliament of Canada and the congress
of the United States.
The agreement, backed by an off
cial message of Endorsement from Pres
ident Taft, went to the house of rep
resentatives January 20 From that
time up to the present it has held the
center of the stage in American poll
tical discussions, has caused party dis
sensions in this country and in Can
ada, and has developed tariff discus
sions upon new and novel lines.
The house passed the bill in the last
session of congress, February IA. It
went to the senate, was reported out
by the finance committee eight DAYS
before adjournment and remained un-
touched upon the senate calendar when
the sixty-1rst congress came to a
close.
With the opening of the new con
gress the measure appeared under the
patronage of Chairman Underwood of
the house ways and means committee,
and after long debate the democratic
house passed it April 81 by 267 to SO,
a majority of the republicans voting
against it, and all but eleven of the
democrats for it,
The senate finance committee fin
ally reported the bill back to the SEN
ate June 1S, without recommendation
either for its passage or its defeat.
Since June IA the bill has been con-
tinuously before the senate, as its un-
finished business, and attempts to
amend it or to bring about its defeat
have been consistently unsuccessful.
