years the contamination Of hope IN

speaker and writer who sought to Sc
cure and hold their votes for the pro-
tectiye policy OF the cOuntry-but that
its logical result would be to destroy
the policy Itself. must, therefore.
either repudiate all have advocated
Tor years or oppose the contamination
of this agreement.
Even If we admitted that the
American market Is now no better
than the Canadian. still We must an.
swer that as soon as consumption
overtakes production in this country
We will reap an advantage ani that
advantage is what We have carmel and
what we have been promised as a com
pensatiOn for our sacrifices for the
general principle Of protection during
the last forty years.
Having established beyond any
possible controversy that our prices
are higher than the Canadian prices
at the present time and that this re-
ciprocity agreement If enacted into
law will level those prices in the i'm
mediate future 10 the worlds level

After stating his fear that the presi-
dent does not realize the enormous
possibilities OF the Canadian country

enough to open Canadian SOU ces

States is really threatened. Senator
