GLOOMY FOR RECIPROCITY.
Not Certain Congress will Agree
President Determined, However.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Snags began
To. loom up in 'he pathway Of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement be-
fore it was i'm the hands of Congress
twenty-four hours and confident pre-
dictions of success, made freely by
some, were somewhat stilled. 1t was
stated that even If the House accepts
the terms OF arrangements (Which
Republican high tariff advocates did
not for a moment conccde) it would
not pass the Senate.
Those direful prophesies were car
ried to the White House today by
members who visited the President,
apparently on other business, but in
there. Mr.. Taft. it is said, received
them with smiles which indicated that
one defeat would not turn him from
his purpose. If his own party, before
surrendering control OF the House of
Representatives, fails to seize the op-
portunity and the credit of putting in
to operation this reciprocal trade pact,
the President, it is believed, will not
hesitate to submit his programme to
tte Democrats, perhaps even in an
extra session of the new Congress.
If the attitude OF the Democratic
leaders Of the House proves a true
index of the position. which minority
members of the ways and means COM
mittee will take. on joint resolution
to put the trade agreement into force.
then such a resolution can be brought
/ oct OF the committee. The seven DEM
ocrats on the committee are believed
to be in sympathy with the matter,
| and 1t Is said that the Republicans
| will vote to report II favorably. This
makes clear majority of 10 men,
bers.
Should the resolution be brought
out Of the ways and means committee
within the next fortnight, a vote could
be had on IL In the House during the
present session. 1t Is in the Senate
that the barrier now looks impreg-
nable. A Republican member Of the
finance committee said today that not
one of the majority of that body ia
vored the proposed arrangement with
Canada, some being opposed because
they believed the interests and their
States to be jeopardized and others
basing their objections upon the
ground OF supposed menace T. the
principle or protection.
! Il is admitted that majority .f

After March there will be seven

doubted that the filing OF these va
can les will increase the chances for
favoi able action upon the agreement
