Washington. ID. C, July 22-The reci-
procity trade agreement between the
United States and Canada embodied in
the reciprocity bill that has proven a
storm center in two sessions of con-
gress, passed the senate today without
amendment by vote of 53 TO y. a
majority of the republicans voted
against it. OF the 50 votes for it, 81
were democratic and II republican. OF
the 81 against. "a were republican and
3 democratic. This action settled the
whole Canadian reciprocity question SO
far as congress is concerned, and save
for executive approval and the Canadi-
an parliaments ratification, virtually
made the pact the law Of the land.
Congressional practice will delay the
affixing of the presidents signature
until next Wednesday when the house
will again be I'm session. The recipro-
city bill. having originated i'm the house,
must be returned there for engroSsment
and for the signature of Speaker Clark,
while the house is sitting.
The Canadian parliament has not yet
acted on the agreement and with one
exception the provisions Of the bill as
passed by congress will not become ef-
fective until the president issues his
proclamation that Canada has ratified
the pact. The exception to this pro-
cedure is in the paper and pulp section
of the bill which it is announced will
become Immediately effective when
the president signs the law.
From the White House Mr.. Taft fol-
lowed the votes on the amendments and
on the final passage of the bill with the
l1eenest interest. Il am very much graf
flied and delighted that the bill has
passed." he said. 1T indicates an in

The President received many con
gratulations before departing for Bev
erly To Spend the week end. In reply to
these he declared that he was getting
