CANADIAN TREATY
FAVORED BY
ALDR|CH
RHODE ISLAND "STANDPATTER'
WRITES TAFT THAT HE LIKES
RECIPROCITY.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator AL
drich, chairman of the finance COM
mittee OF the senate, has written Pres
ident Taft that he favors the confrma :
tlon OF the Canadian reciprocity agree
ment. Whether the letter makes
promises of assistance In getting ac-
tion In the senate at the present ses-
sion has not been disclosed. but sena-
tors who have seen 1t intimate the
senator will do all he can to aid the
president.
An announcement that Senator Al
drich was in favor of the reciprocity
agreement was received with surprise
in the senate, especially by the stand
pat" senators, who have come out
against the agreement on the ground
that II Is not In compliance with the
tenets of the republican party OH pro-
lection.
No announcement was made at the
White House today in respect to the
letter and there was considerable spec
ulation at the capitol as TO whether the
missive would be made public.
Senator Aldrich. on account of his
health. Is spending the winter at Jekyl
island, Georgia, and although much
better 1t Is not likely he will take
any further part In taf'sc legislation
as his term expires March 4.
Taft Wrote to Aldric.,.
Soon after the Canadian agreement
was sent to congress and ii was re-
ported that there was little chance for
action in the senate at the present ses-
sion, President Taft wrote to Senator
Aldrlch. 1t is understood the execu-
tive urged him to come back and take
charge Of the fight for the measure In
the senate. At ono time It was ru-
mored Mr.. Aldrlch might be back, bul
this was denied.
Senators who discussed today the
statement issued by Representative
Mccall following a Sunday interview
with President Taft, construed 1t to
mean that an extraordinary session of
congress surely would be called in the
event the senate failed to act on the
agreement and that the statement was
issued with the presidents sanction, If
not directions.
There Is no doubt that II filled some
senator's with CONSERVATION. while some
others felt II was only q gentle re-
mnder from the White House that the
big stick still was in working order"
