the agreement to Congress in
special message on January 26th. AS
the Constitution provides in matters
of treaties, the House acted first,
passing the bill on February, 14tn. 1t
then went to the Senate, where it
was met with many obstacles. At
tempts were made to amend it,Which
would virtually have nullified the
agreement, there was f1ilibustering
against it, and President Taft final
1y despaired of its being ratified.
When Congress adjourned he called
an extraordinary session for the pur-
pose of considering reciprocity.
When the Sixty-second congress
assembled on April 4th in the ex-
traordinary session, it's membership
was different from that of the prev
ious Congress. The new Democratic
House passed the bill on April 21st
by a vote of 264 to SO. In the Senate
there was again strenuous opposi-
ton and it was not until July 22d
