ANNEXATION is PREDICTED
AS SEQUEL TO RECIPROCITY
Former Canadian Minister Voices On
Pending Agreement.

OTTAWA, Ontario, February ll-Com-
mercial union followed by annexation to
the United States is tie inevitable mean
ing of the pending reciprocity agreement
IS interpreted by the conservative oppo-
sition in the Canadian parliament This
sentiment dominated a three hours speech
by George L. Foster yesterday. who I'M
der the conservative government was
finance minister and tariff maker His
speech is considered typical of long
series to come from both sides. and il is
not expected a vote Will be reached for AT
least three weeks
Mr. Foster argued that as the result Of
reciprocity Yankee trusts and money in
terests would own control Canada $
natural resources 1t was the edge Of
the wedge, he said. which would be driv en-
home until there was absolute free trade
between Canada and the United States,
with a tariff wall against the rest OF the
world.

ever dishes Canada's chance of obtaining
a preference from Britain. The project
OF Joseph Chamberlain is given its death
blow. Canadians become hewers of wood
and drawers of water for the United
States. The mines. forests and fields Of
Canada will be exploited by American
manufa cturers aud there comes an end
to the movement of American industria |
concerns across the International bound
airy line Sentiment in the United States
which is urging reciprocity is not based
on romance, but on political grounds, and
has for it's object the conquest of Can

FEAR EXTRA SESSION
Senators Line Up UnWiIIingIy
for Canadian Pact.
ALL PRECEDENTS BROKEN
Party Leaders Not Consulted in Ad-
vance About Treaty.
ALL PRECEDENTS BROKEN

The attitude Of the Senate stand
patters toward the Canadian reciprocity
bill is in some aspects almost comical.
They realize that if President Taft puts it
to the test majority for the bill will
be developed-the test being the assurance
that failure to vote on the bill entails an
extra session of Congress.
With lump in the throat and a sob
in the voice they ask: Can this thing
be? Will he really do it," The fact is,
the standpatters have not quite awaken
Ell from their daze over the Presidents
temerity in throwing the reciprocity bomb
INTO Congress. not only without having
obtained their consent, but actually with
out having consulted them.
The Presidents course in this respect
Is absolutely without precedent. Never
before has such a far-reaching and i'm
portant measure of legislation been sug-
gested to Congress without conference
among the party leaders and with man
ayers of the machine in the respective

LONDON. February 1J.-The Morning
Post bases an alarmist editorial on a
Washington dispatch declaring that
American public men openly predict that
reciprocity will lead to the eventual an
neXat:on of Canada by the United States.
The editorial appeals to union!sts and
those liberals not yet blinded by parti-
san prejudice to close their ranks and
fight to save the empire, which is threat
ened with danger.
The Chamberlain section OF the union
list party is making a strong effort to raj
lv it's followers. a series of meetings
has been arranged, to be held in London
and the provinces. to stir up vigorous
campaign in favor of imperial prefer

fame of the new harem skirt, which. it is
declared, bids fair to displace the hobble

traction, particularly of the feminine part
of the gathering.
The harem skirt is cut something not
unlike the order of baggy trousers and
fits snugly over the hips. 1t strikes its
fair wearer trifle below the ankles and
the ladies are expected in many in
stances to choose it in the place of the
rainy-day skirt. A bit of q motion will
swing it clear of the muddy pathway and
only the tiniest part of the ankle is dis
played.

Statement by Managers.
The following statement was given
out after the meeting Of the board of
managers:
1.-The Associated Charities does not
favor a federation OF charities, which
means the union OF all in the collec-
ton Of total sum to be distributed TO
each in accordance with a proposed
budget The society has considered this
subject in the past and believes the
time fora financial federation has not

Would Win Hands Down"

Representative Norris of Nebraska. an
insurgent big chief, asked Mr.. Clark if he
thought there was danger of contention
in the democratic party for the next
presidential nomination between him and
President Taft.
Il would win hands down. replied Mr..
Clark. amid general laughter.
The Speaker-to-be then improved the
opportunity to announce that he was not
running for President yet.

head trying to count Clark delegates. But
am not fool enough to run away from
a nomination which has not been offered
me. Willie | am rot candidate, l find
ii pleasant to have the newspapers refer
to me in that connection.
The democrats improved the opportunity
to exercise the somewhat rusty rebel yell
when Speaker Cannon abdicated the
Speakers chair at an exciting stage OF
the proceedings in favor of Oiiie James.
the immense Kentucky democrat. Some
folks seemed to have the impression that
Mr. Cannon, after viewing the practically
solid democratic front and observing that
his own party was being split wide open
by this reciprocity wedge. considered Mr..
James presence III the chair at this mo-
ment particularly appropriate.
James visibly Embarrassed.
Mr. James. who stands six feet six inch
es in his socks. and who weighs some
thing over 800 pounds, was visibly en-
barrassed. When he picked up the ivory
eavel to call the House to order the
gentle slap he gave the sounding board
would not have discomm oded fly.
Later Speaker Cannon gave little
silent demonstration of how he felt about
some things Champ Clark had announced
that it was almost impossible to tell what
a republican was these days.
How about Cannon some member
called out.
THE Speaker is republican. said
Mr.. Clark decidedly. II always know
where to find him. just as he always
knows where to find me. And Mr.. Can :
mons friends of the old guard made Il
fearful racket in approval of this senti-
ment.
President TaftS dinner at the White
House last night in honor of Speaker
Cannon delayed more than an hour
while the House was voting on the qGes
ton of reciprocity. 1T is understood that
President Taft sent word to the Capitol
that he would change the dinner into
breakfast if it was necessary in order
10 pass the bill last night.
This must have been consoling to

is unalterably opposed to the reciprocity

OF the committee probably would be called
for Friday to consider the agreement. BY
reason of the absence Of Senator Aldrich

tor Burrows. 1t is known that the Michi-
gan member is opposed to the agreement,
ard that he will be Joined by Senators

ably by Senators Smoot, Flint and SIM
mons. If all indicated should vote in

would be reported to the Senate adverse

all that would be needed to get it before

Point to Other Treaties.

Some Of the more liberal OF the pro-
tectionist senators try to comfort their
despairing brethren by pointing out that
all is not lost: that the country Will not
go plumb 10 smash with this plan OF
reciprocity.
They point cut the actual effects or
several reciprocity treaties. beginning
with the Hawaiian treaty. then the Cuban
treaty, then Philippines free trade, and
ask to see the American industries that
have been harmed by these policies. al
though there was loud cutlery when they
were in negotiation and dire threats OF
great disaster TO American farmers and
manufacturers
Others who on a plain point of prefer
ence would not choose reciprocity with
Canada think that b. accepting it now
the protectionists will in reality stave
off greater evils: that refusal OF this
plain measure of relief will incense the
public and cause a greater clamor for
reductions all along the line.
Some of the standpatters are being
moved by this argument and will vote
for the bill. with a sigh. to be sure but
hoping to prevent opportunity for more
sweeping tariff reductions.

Mccall bill. to carry out the provisions
ted to reach a vote at this session the
Senate will pass it by as decisive a
vote as was recorded for it in the
House last night
The Senate committee on foreign rela-
lions met today, reported the Canadian
agreement back to the Senate, and Ii was
sent to the finance committee. 1t had
been in the custody of the committee on
foreign relations since coming to the Sem
ate, but no action was taken regarding
it. The effect of referring it back to the
Senate is the practical recognition of the
fact that it contains nothing likely to
involve the United States in obligations
to Canada in conflict with the peaceful
trade relations which exist with other
countries.
Finance Committee in Control.
The action of the Senate gives to the
committee control Of the whole subject
There was no demonstration of any char
acter over the receipt of the bill from
the House or its reference to committee
1t is believed to have been determined
beyond any doubt that the mccall Dill
will not be hung up in the finance COM
mittee. Although majority or the re-
publican members, as we'll as at least
two of the democratic members. are
known to be opposed to it, it Is said, the
committee feels that courtesy to the
President demands that it be reported to
the Senate. Furthermore, the President $
interest in the agreement is so great
that the committee is not disposed to
bear the responsibility of encompassing
it's defeat by the pigeonhole method.
