This phase of the situation was dis
cussed by one of the presidents
friends today. He said If Mr.. Taft had
given any thought to his present fu-
ture In advocating the Canadian
agreement it had not been manifest
In his conversation.
At the same time this friend said
he believed the president had a great
deal to gain even In politics by carry
ing on a fight to decrease the cost of
living.
The introduction BY Representative
