fling with Senate.

In a brief speech before the Senate
Committee on Finance yesterday explain
ing and defending his proposed amend
ments to the Canadian reciprocity bill.
Senator Knute Nelson. of Minnesota. at
tackled President Taft. declaring that the

the Senate to amend the Canadian agree
ment. and was thereby treating the Sen
ate unfairly
Such expressions as "evading his con-
stitutional duty and beating around
the BUSH and "trifling with the Senate"
were used by the Senator to characterize
the Presidents alleged acts Of interfer-
ence.
The Senator from Minnesota declared
that the Canadian matter was in the ma
ture of a treaty, and that the Senate was
recognized in the Constitution as neces-
sary part Of the treaty-making power Of
the government.
Treaties had been amended in the past
by the Senate after being negotiated by
the executive branch Of the government.
They would be amended again, In the
opinion of the Senator from Minnesota
In trying to prevent the Senate from
exercising its full power In the matter OF
making amendments, the President was
denying the Senate its constitutional
rights and evading his own constitutional
duty. said Mr.. Nelson.
The Minnesota Senator was not ques-
toned by members Of the committee, but
allowed to make his own statement and
criticisms unquestioned.
