WANTS AGREEmENT AMENDED
Purpose is TO Put on Free List ThinEs
which the Farmer Buys as well
as Things that He
Produces.

WASHINGTON, Feb. pa resolution
calling on the president to submit to the
senate all the information he has bearing
on the Canadian reciprocity agreement, to-
gether with the data and statistics gathered
by the tariff board, was offered today in
the senate by Mr.. Cummins and adopted.
An amendment making the request "if
consistent with the public welfare" was
adopted.
That determined effort will be made
ON the; noor Of the senate to amend the
Mccall bill and that the movement viii re-
ceive the support OF a considerable number
OF republicans, both regulars and insur-
gents became apparent after Mr.. CummIns'
resolution has been submitted.
The resolution received the approval OF
several old guard senators and especially
OF Senator Hale. who said he was IN sym
pathy with the idea in that It might lead
to entirely new negotiations with Canada.
This statement was in response to frank
avowal by Mr. Cummins that he purposed
to offer amendments to the Mccall bin to
the end that articles which farmers have
to buy shall be reduced TO the plane OF
products OF the soil which are put on the
free list by the Canadian agreement.
The Cummins resolution specifically
called for the tariff boards data on pulp

Later agricultural implements were In
eluded at the suggestion Of Senator Dixon.
The resolution did not set forth that
some Of the articles specifically mentioned
did not come within the terms OF tbe
reciprocity agreement and Senator Smoot
called attention to that fact.
The senator from Utah has accurately
guessed my purpose" responded Mr.. Cum.
minis. Continuing he said he was aware
that he had included a number of articles
which the farmer has to buy on which no
reduction OF duty Is proposed. he said he
intended to offer amendments covering the
things mentioned. so that II there Is to bt

articles the farmer buys as well as article,

Reports that Sentiment is Hostile

TOXIC. Feb, ednesday-A meeting
OF Americans resident in Japan was held
in Yokohama recently in the interest of
the international peace movement Among
the business done was the adoption OF a
resolution designed to refute the reports
that public sentiment in this country is
hostile to the United States as follows
Resolved, That, in our opinion, the peo-
Pile of japan have at ali times entertained
the most friendly and cordial sentiments
toward the government and people OF the
United States and that there never has
been nor is now any feeling but OF conf
dence and gratitude. We believe. upon
evidenc which cannot be doubted, that
there Is not to be found in the Japanese
empire any wish or thought other than to
maintain the most friendly and cordial re-
lauons with the republic OF the United
states. and that any representations to the
contrary. wherever emanating and from
whatever cause proceeding, are baseless
calumnies which. II uneontradicted. can
only result in vast material losses to the
people Of both governments and in Great
ing an unhappy prejudice between them"

The house bill differs from the senate

has a provision that bills Initiating con.

the senate bill. The senate bill has the
skiles amendment, which provides that
the majority of votes cast In favor OF a

also 35 per cent or more Of the total num-
Der OF votes cast at the elections The
house has a similar provision in the bill
