The reciprocal trade agreemen ent
between the United States and Cam

that proved storm centre in two
sessions Of Congress, passed the
Senate Saturday, without amend

jority Of the Republicans voted
against it. Of the SO votes for it,
32 were Democratic and 21 Republi-
can: Of thu 27 against, "a were Re-
publican AT j 3 Democratic.
This action settled the whole Can
adam reciprocity question, so far as
Congress is concerned, and save for
Executive approval and the Canadian
Parliamant's ratification virtually
made the pact the Law Of the land.
Congressional practice will delay
the affixing of the Presidents sigma
ture until next Wednesday, whom the
House is again in session. The re-
ciprocity bin, having originated In
the House, must be returned there
| for engrossment and for the sigma
ture of Speaker Clark, while the
House is sitting.
The Canadian Parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement, and,
with one exception, the provisions Of
the bill as passed by Congress will
not become effective until the Presi-
dent issues a proclamation that Can
ada has ratified the pact. The ex-
ception to this procedure is in the
paper and pulp section of the bill,
which, it is announced, will become
Immediately effective when the Pres
ident signs the bill.
