CONTINUE DEBATE
 ON RECIPROCITY

Ottawa, February 16.-To keep pace with the rapid progress of legislation. on the reciprocity agreement at Washington, the government today decided to insist upon a continuation of parliamentary de- bate on the question instead of post poning it until next week. The opposi- tion continued to use the Champ Clark speech as a club against the government, despite explanations from Washington Their arraignment of the liberals on the ground that they were about to take q step that would lead to the breaking Of ties that bound the empire together was met by patriotic response from the gov ernment side when William Pugsley, min ister of public works, announced that hereafter the British flag would be un- furled every day on all public build ings In the Dominion.
 Houghton Lennox, conservative, attrib- uted to the United States the ulterior motive of seeking to separate Canada from the mother country, with final view of annexation.
 This Is the scheme of great political combination" declared MT. Lennox. Tt was put forward by Laurier, concurred in by Asquith and promoted by Taft Each has something selfish at stake. Laurier wants something to make the people forget the blunder of his naval policy; Asquith wants to kill the Cham berlain preference propaganda, and Taft is out for a good thing. It will be pretty hard for the Canadian people to get their rights in a three-cornered arrange ment of this kind.'

 The matter came up in the House today in connection with the proposed abolishment of the office of second deputy commissioner of pensions. Rep resentative Fuller of Illinois demanded to know of MT. Fitzgerald of New York where the latter got his Information as to the probable veto of the general pension bill.
 "Oh," said MT. Fitzgerald. "the White House has way of letting it's attitude be known that is unmistakable. We had a demonstration of that the other day on Canadian reciprocity"
 The office of second deputy commits sioner was not abolished.
