Washington. June 23.-Chairman
Penrose Of the senate committee on
finance, said today that the Canadian
reciprocity bill will not fail by rea-
son Of the new coalition between the
Insurgent Republicans and the Dem
0crats which placed the regular Re
publicans in the minority. Speaking
Of that coalition, he said:
'.It is q rope Of sand and 1t will
not hold. The performance Of the
Insurgents and the Democrats on
Wednesday was effective for the time.
but differences between the two ele-
ments are so radical that the combi-
nation will not continue, and It the
purpose Of it was to defeat Canadian
reciprocity, it will fail.
with the tariff question dumped
into the senate in connection with
reciprocity. delay Is to be expected
but in the end reciprocity will go
through and It will remain to be seen
what shall be- done with the tariff
bills now befnre the senate and those
yet to- be presented.
Long Period 81 Debate.
b "The outlook in the senate is for
a long and somewhat dreary period
Of debate, with no visible prospect OF
relief under present conditions. With
no party In control and no leader
ship recognized, no one can say In
advance what is going to happen or
when anything may transpire out OF
the ordinary. The regular Repub-
licans control the finance committee,
and eight members Of that faction,
constituting the majority Of the COM
mittee, are standing together on
most questions Of party management,
but nothing has been so completely
demonstrated by the recent occur
renceS a1 lQ8t Cney nave 7uO party
majority behind them in the senate.
Consequently, while the committee
may act on q given question, its ac-
tion !, Is without vital force and in
effective"
n Expect Root Vote Today.
Before the senate adjourns today.
It is expected that the Root amend
ment to the Canadian reciprocity bill
will have been acted upon. Not even
Senator Root himself now expects
that 1t will be passed. The amend
ment which deals with the terms
governing reciprocity trade In print
paper and pulp wood between Canada
and this country, will be brought up
1t was announced, at earliest possible
moment in today's session.
Monotony Of tariff argument is ex-
pected to be broken by Senator
Simmons In set speech later on the
success Of good roads. The senator
is prepared to proceed to discuss his
bill taxing automobiles which cross
state lines.
