REPUBLICANS PLAN TO IMPEDE
WANT FREE TRADE Tackled TO
RECIPROCITY.
Henry George, Jr., In His Maiden
Speech, Out For Free
Trade.

Washington, April 1a.-Democtatic
leaders are prepared for an attcInp,
by some of the Republicans who OPP
pose the Canadian reciprocity bill to
embarrass the Democratic majority in
the passage of the bill by proposing as
an amendment to it a section embody-
ing all OF the free list tina, the Demo
cratic ways and means committee has
prepared as the first OF the party's
tariff measures.
Opposition Republicans have
charged in the house that if the Dem
ocrats were in earnest in their desire
to have this free list passed they
would offer it as part of the reci-
procity bill, so that President Taft
could not find occasion to veto it even
though it did not meet with his ap-
prevail.
Chairman Underwood, of the ways
and means committee is apparently
proceeding on the belief that an
amendment to tack the free list to
the reciprocity bill will be offered
when the bill comes up for passage.
He said that such an amendment
would be at once ruled out of order
as it could not be considered ger

dorsed the Canadian agreement az
tending toward ffeer trade, and be-
lieved that eventually the United
States would have absolute free trade
with the world.
Representatives Rowland, of Ohio,
knoop, of Wisconsin, and Gillette, Of
Massachusetts, spoke in favor of the
agreement. Mr.. Gillette characterized
the talk of annexation as ''bungaboo"
and sensational, but said ii may hap
