TAFT GIVES CREDIT
TO THE DEMOCRATS
President Bestows General
Praise on Those Who Helped
With Reciprocity.

Beverly, Mass. July 25.-In the frs,
statement he has made since the pas
sage OF the reciprocity bill by the Sem
ate. President Taft, at the summer
White House last night freely acknowl-
edged that his long, hard campaign In
2ehalf of that measure would have
proved unavailing if the democrats
1ad not helped him. The statement
follows:
That / am very much pleased with
the passage Of the Canadian reciprocity
bill through both houses OF congress
goes without saying. / believe and
nope 1t will be followed by similar
action by the Dominion parliament,
In my judgment, the going into eff
feet OF the agreement will mark a new
epoch in the relations between the
United States and Canada, and will
tend to marked increase In the trade
between the two countries. which will
be in every way beneficial to both.
Il hope the credit that belongs to

ants at the state department In the
negotiating and framing OF the pact
and their lucid explanation and defense
OF the terms will not be withheld.

Premier Asquith dispelled all clouds
yesterday by communicating informally
to Mr.. Balforr. leader of the opposition
in the house Of commons, tho SUBJ
stance Of an announcement which he
will make in that house on Monday.
His letter, which Mr.. Balfour COM
municated to the meeting Of the lords
this afternoon, was as follows:
