BENEFITS OF RECIPROCITY
SECRETARY OF STATE KNOX ADJ
DRESSES CHICAGO ASSO-
CITATION OF COMMERCE
Declares the Proposed Agreement Is
Not Limited to One Glass Of
Commedities--Help En-

Associated Press Special.

Associated Press Special.
Chicago, Feb 16.-Though the
people of the United States and Can
ada are "a substantially homogen-
eous people" with deep moral and
racial reciprocities," the benefits OF
the proposed commercial reciprocity
with Canada ought not to be obscur-
ed by the fear of relations too cor
dial and conceivably dangerous to
the great Canadian loyalty to Eng
land" is the opinion of the secretary
of state, Philander c. Knox, who adj
dressed the Chicago Association of
Commerce here last night.
Mr.. Knox declared that while mi.
grafton proceeded as constantly and
! as freely between Canada and the
United States as between two states
of this country and while the two
peoples have been welding together
for two centuries. there is not the
| slightest probability that this racial
| and moral union will involve any po-
| litical change or annexation or abb
sorption."
1T is an chronological fact that po-
Utica. units of the English speaking
people never lost their autonomy,
| said Secretary Knox. Like bees.
they give off their swarms, who set
up for themselves Independently,
but they do not make political com
binations among themselves.
Sketching briefly the negotiations
between Canada and the United
States from the time of the passage
of the reciprocity treaty of 1854 and
its abrogation in 1866, Mr.. Knox
spoke of the subsequent efforts on
both sides of the line to promote
reciprocal trade, the Canadian pill
grimages to Washington, "the cold
reception given the eminent Canad-
ians who made those pilgrimages
and the appeal to imperial and poll
teal sentiment by their opponents at
home"
"Our task was, despite all this
continued Mr.. Knox ito submit to
the people of the United States and
to the people of Canada an opportun
ity to cement the commercial links
which it is decreed shall unite us.
The agreement submitted to congress
by the president is the result. 1t is
comprehensive in principle and
avoids the objection which was one
cause of the abrogation of the Elein-
Marcy treaty of 1S54-thaI is, 1t Is

of the fight now going on at Austin

worse than many other laws which

There is a reason to hope that we
