GOVERNOR OSBORNE FAVORS
RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA
Washington, D. C.-The address Of
Governor Osborne of Michigan favor
ing the passage of the Canadian reci-
procity bill, featured hearing before
reciprocity and free lists bills. Gov
ernor Osborne expressed the opinion
that Canada could, not compete sue
c%essfully with the United States in
the growing of wheat or in any other
way, in which those opposed to the
treaty fear. He said however, he
looked at the pact in a broader way,
than an economic and financial one
and that the great benefits this coun-
try would derive from the passage of
the bill would be the drawing to-
gether of the two nations.
If either side would benefit in a
commercial way from the treaty the
United States, he declared, would be
the country. He said the wheat rails
ed in Canada was inferior to that
raised in this country and that the
wheat belt in Canada is a small area
as compared with some of other great
wheat zones of the world.
