NEWFOUNDLAND MAY ACT.
Has Been Pressing for Reciprocity
With United States.

1t was suggested today that the only
chance for the continuance of reciprocity
as an open issue might be found in an
attempt by Newfoundland 10 secure sucn
treaty of agreement with the United
States. 1t has been known that the
Observation-Disclosures were only awaiting the
disposition of the pact between the
United States and Canada To open nego-
tiations with Washington for reci-
prociiy agreement on their own account.
In fact. il has been difficult for the State
Department to keep them from pressing
the matter while the Canadian agreement
was pending.
III is lust possible that the Newfound-
landers may see their opportunity in the
present situation and decide to renew
overtures for an agreement on the lines
of the Hay-Herbert treaty of l9G2 That
treaty was made the subject OF an I'M
ia vorable report by the Senate committee
on foreign relations, but II was held that
1t was not defeated on its merits, but
went down only because II was submit
ted to the Senate along with reciprocity
treaties with France. Argentina and other
countries negotiated by Special Ambassa-
dor Kasson. which were regarded as OBJ
iectionable by the high tariff element OF
that daN.
The Newfoundland treaty is still re-
gdrded as nOdei instrument. pIoN iuihS

'ARMY MANEUVER CAMPS

NEW YORK. September .o.-The defeat
of the Canadian reciprocity added TO the

Commission houses report a large amount
of selling for Canadian account. The
railway shares. which had held compare

the slump in steel stocks, weakened to-

The loss was most extensive among

While the advance was not as pro-
nounced in northwest markets, wheat

factor being the defeat of the Canadian

prevail is for the court TO make.
In the case of the harvester COM

mitted to the governments plan of re-

and while not going far as the Offl-
Gals of the Department of Justice con-
sidered it should go, the representatives

as soon as the petitions were filed evinc-
ed a Willingness to comply with the law
and submitted proposed denominations
and rendered a form of decree which
they were willing to have the court enter
against them.
1T is understood that negotiations re-

In rejecting, reciprocity Canada has
simply affirmed her adherence to pol
icy of national development which she
has pursued for many years.
The verdict was in no wise dictated
by any spirit of unfriendliness to the
great neighboring republic. No such
spirit exists. 1t is my conception that
friendly relations can best be maintained
il each country preserves complete and

Willing to Hear Them.

IF other combinations should take like
action and submit to the Department of
Justice plans of reorganization which
should in good faith bring about COM
petitive condition and terminate monop-
olistic conditions, and also all agree
ments unduly restraining interstate trade
and commerce. the Department of Justice
would doubtless give them careful con-
sideration. and if found to be adequate,
would submit them to the courts on an
appropriate petition. the decree of the
court to be SO framed as to make the
provisions of the plan binding upon the
defendants. and to enjoin them from fur
Their monopolistc effort.
But the burden of framing such plans
and of demonstrating their sufiiciency
aand adequacy must be assumed by those
interested in the combinations and not
by the officials of the Department of
Justice
