FREIGHT RATES A FACTOR.
Canadian Railroads Could lnjurs Am
aricAn Rroduears.

There is another reason which sup
ports the view that a permanent ar
rangement with Canada should take
the form Of treaty in which each gov
eminent would assume a duty that
may become an important one. A mo-
ment's reflection upon the geographical
relation Of Canada to the United States
will recall to your minds the fact that
by railway or waterway the producing
regions OF Canada are. or will be. In
direct connection with the markets of
this country. In many cases the dis
tances from one to the other will not
be greatly different as compared with
the distances from our own producing
fields into our own markets. The cost
Of transportation is one Of the princi-
pal factors in determining prices and
profits. We have devoted years OF pa
tient effort In the hope OF establishing
for each locality in the United States
fair relative freight rates. If. how
ever. the transportation lines which
reach from Canada into the United
States should give to the producers OF
Canada rates into our markets that
are unjustly low. as compared with
rates for equivalent distances In the
United States, 1t is manifest that our
producers would at once be subjected
to a disadvantage that would be intol-
cradle. 1t Is therefore clear that in
some form or other a remedy against
injustice in transportation should be
provided. This may not be sufficient
cause for opposition to the proposed
arrangement, but 1t is one OF the things
that should be borne in mind. to the
end that the final adjustment will
comprehend every phase OF the intri-
cate subject.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1911-03-25

will benefit the people on both sides Of
the border line. we may reasonably
hope and expect that the arrangement.
II so confirmed, will remain in opera
ton for considerable period. Only
this expectation on the part OF both
governments will justify the time and
labor that have been employed In the
maturing of the proposed measure
Nevertheless, 1t is distinctly under
stood that we DO not attempt to bind
for the future. the action Of the United
States congress or the parliament OF
Canada. but that each OF these author
Nies shall be absolutely FREQ to make
any change OF tariff policy or of any
other matter covered ny the present
arrangement that may be deemed ex-
pedient. We look for tn continuance Of
the arrangement. not because either
party Is bound to 1t, but because OF our
conviction that the more liberal trade
policy thus to be established will be
viewed by the people Of the United
States and Canada as one which will
strengthen the friendly relations now
happily prevailing, and promote the
commercial interests Of both countries"

MORE TOLERANCE DUE.

taeks On Opponents.

have not referred to this weakness
In the arrangement with any hostile
spirit and my attitude toward the
matter will probably not be changed
on account OF 1t. l mention 1t for the
purpose Of expressing my preference
for the adjustment Of our relations
with Canada thru a treaty that would
embrace positive obligations on both
sides. and which would provide that
when either party withdraws from it
that ipso facto 1t would cease to be
obligatory upon the other. The most
ordinary Justice requires that If either
the United States or Canada should
withhold the compensation granted by
It then the former tariffs would, with
out any legislative or administrative
Intervention. be restored. I mention 1t
for the further reason that 1t may in
duce moro tolerance upon the part OF
those who are SO fiercely denouncing
some OF US who have for years fav-
ored tariff reductions with Canada be-
cause we did not instantly assent to
the proposed arrangement.
Favors Reciprocity Of Right Kind.
During all my struggles for re-
ciprocity with Canada / have hoped
that 1t would come about thru an act
OF congress empowering the president
OF the United States to negotiate and
consummate treaty which would not
only conserve the interests Of the pres
ent. but guard and protect the interests
OF the future may not oppose the ar
rangement because there inheres in It
the Instability have pointed out but
desire that 1t shall be fully under
stood that do not intend to suspend
my efforts for. reciprocity expressed in
the right way. and surrounded by the
proper safeguards.

passed the house at the last session,
and I may have occasion to explain
the amendment later on.

Canada Buys Thrss-Fovrths of In,
ports From United States.

ports From United 9tates.
In considering the purely commercial
advantages or disadvantages OF the
proposal OF which I have now given
you the substance. II Is obvious that
we must view II from at least two
standpoints:
First. the expansion OF our exports
into Canada induced by the additions
to her free list OF certain articles. and
the reduction OF her duties on certain
other articles.
Second the effect upon our domestic
producers and consumers OF adding to
our free list certain commodities. and
OF reducing our duties upon other COM
modities.
/ take these viewpoints in the order
in which I have stated. The aggregate
Of the imports into Canada from all
countries in the last fiscal year was In
round numbers, $376. 100000. OF which
there came from the United States. In
round numbers. $223.000.000. Canada
bought OF us. therefore. under existing
tariff conditions. practically three
fifths Of all her foreign purchases. and.
excluding the element OF Increased con-
sumption, Il is apparent that whatever
inroads we make we must make upon
the remaining two ffths OF her i'm.
ports.

uAry by the president, I must be per-
mitted to refer to the criticism Of the
senate for its failure to consider and
act upon the bill that passed the house.
The house passed the measure on the
14th day Of February under rule that
foreclosed further debate and prevent
ed amendments. It came to the senate
the next day. was referred to the A.
nance committee. where 1t remained
under examination about a week. and
was then reported into the senate
without recommendation. either favor
able or unfavorable.
There remained OF the session seven
or eight working days. The Lorimer
case, involving the validity OF seat in
the senate, was still under discussion:
we were lighting for a vote upon the
tariff commission BILL the most vital
measure Of the session: nearly all the
appropriation bills were yet to be con-
sidered, and passed; New Mexico and
Arizona were there seeking admission
to the union: the bill granting an In
crease Of pension to the old soldiers
was waiting for hearing; and a great
many other bills of more or less Inn
portance on the calendar were being
urged for decision. In this situation,
and remembering that the right of
amendment and the privilege of de-
bate in the senate are unlimited. the
suggestion. that the proposed amend
ment to the tariff law might be consid-
cred and voted upon was never serious
~ made by any person. SO various are
the views held by senators with re-
gard to it. that II it had been brought
under discussion and nothing else had
engaged the attention Of the senate,
congress would have expired at the
very thresold Of the debate.

Of Either Congress Or Parliament.

Agreement Subject TO Repeal st Will
Of Either Congress or Parliament.
I must now recall to your attention
the statement made few minutes ago
that the proposed arrangement Is not a
treaty in either form or substance. Tho
only obligation assumed by the admin
istfattve representatives Of the two
governments Is that they will respec-
lively recommend the proposition to
the to the legislative branches of the
two governments. and IL the PROPOSE
ton were adopted by the congress Of
the United States and the parliament
OF Canada. there would then be no OBJ
legation whatsoever. 80 far as the fu-
ture conduct Of either Of the countries
is concerned: that 10 to say, the con-
gross upon the one hand, or the parlia-
ment upon the other. could the next
day after enacting the arrangement
into law repeal 1t or change any Of its
provisions without In any sense violat-
Ing the understanding. To put 1t moro
concretely still. let US assume that on
the first day OF July of the present
year both congress and parliament pass
into law the exact arrangement pro-
posed by these representatives Of the
two governments. On the second day
Of July the parliament Of the dominion
could repeal its act and withdraw from
the United States every concession
proposed In the arrangement, and new
ertheless. our law 30 passed would re-
mai min full force and effect and we
would be compelled to admit the I'm
ports from Canada upon the terms
stated in the arrangement until con-
Sress, thru its ordinary processes. al
ways slot and oftentimes uncertain,
should modify our legislation upon the
subject.
