ton utterances. by comments from the
British press fore shadowing the cur
tailment of tho British preference, and
by fears OF the manufacturers that the
next step in reciprocity will extend
to factory output.
Unless the situation clears itself nat
urally during the next few days, Sir
Wilfrid Laurier will endeavor to put
disturbed minds AT rest by an author

signs with which the Canadian anu
American governments are being cred

trade bargain pure and simple and
that its consequences will not In any
way tend to promote annexation 70 thu
