A BITTER ATTACK
On Reciprocity Agreement BY Oppo-
sition Leader Borden, Ottawa.

Ottawa, Ont, May "a bitter at
tack on the Flelding-Kno reciprocity
agreement was made tonight by r.
Borden, Opposition leader. in an ad-
dress at a dinner attended by all the
Conservative members of Parliament
and the premiers of two provinces.
1.-The reciprocity proposals." he de-
c.ared, "are the most mischievous and
damnableithat have ever been made to
Canada"
President Taft. he said, recently COM
mended reciprocity to the American
people on the ground that it would
prevent the establishment of system
of preferential trade throughout the
British empire. That alone, he assert
ed. was sufficient to condemn the whole
proposal In the minds of loyal Cana
dams and British subjects.
Premier Mcbride of British Column
bia. Premier Hazen of New Bruins
wick and Robert Rogers, minister of
public works in Manitoba, asserted
that their respective provinces were
opposed TO the agreement, on the
ground that it would lead to the sepa-
ration of Canada from Great Britain.

THE statement that the Tariff
Board has made an error of 80 per cent
in it's figures of Canadian farm wages
in its Canadian reciprocity report is
entirely untrue" declared Chairman
Henry c. Emery Friday. The Tariff
Board has taken all its information on
this subject from the latest Canadian
official figures. The Canadian figures
include the item of board for farm
hands. This item is not taken into ac-
count in statistics showing the pay of
American farm hands In order fairly
and properly to compare the Canadian
figures with American wages it has
been necessary to deduct this item
from the former. The board has let
ter from Archibald Blue. chief of the
census and statistical Office of Canada,
saying that in order to derive cash
wages from the Canadian statistics the
estimated value of board should be de-
Quoted. Established in the Tariff
Boards report the figures are calcuiat-
ed on the same basis for both coun-
tries

Ell paso, Texas, May 5.--If President
Diaz does not announce by tomorrow
noon his intention of resigning. an at
tack on Juarez as we'll as a conclusion
of the armistice for the Chihuahua dis
trict is imminent.
This was the opinion of Insurrecto
leaders tonight after a 24-hour wait
for the answer by President Diaz to
the suggestion made yesterday by
Francisco /. Madero, Jr.. through his
peace commissioner to Judge Caraba-
jail. the Federal envoy.
Gen. Madero was sounded tonight by
one of the Federal ge-betweens to as
certain whether he would consent to
an extension of the armistice, which
expires tomorrow. He replied that ha
would answer that question tomorrow.
He said If an extension were asked by
the federal government he would de-
mand specific reasons before granting

Judge Carabaial as we'll as the 9TH
err peace commissioners remained In
their hotel all day. DR.. Vasquez Gomez,
head of the rebel commission late to-
night, said that he was still awaiting
word from Judge Carbajal as to yes
terday's proposal and that no more
peace conferences would be held until
a reply was received.
Judge Carbajal himself thrust a per-
picking factor into the days events by
declaring that he had not officially
transmitted the proposal of the rebel
commissioners. He told the newspaper
fnen that he had no authority to re-
eeive any proposals concerning the
Diaz- resignation, his instructions COW
ering only specific points concerning
political reforms.
When told of this, Gen Madero eX-
pressed the opinion that perhaps Judge
Carbajal was not willing to asknowl-
edge the submission of the DiaZ ques-
ton to the government. Some of the
Federal go-betweens announced that it
was their opinion the government re-
eeiveI the Madero proposal last night,
but could not state in what form il
had been sent.
Gen. Madero feels that he has played
his trump card. He showed plainly to-
day the effect of the nervous strain of
the last few days. When the Federal
go-betweens first talked to Madero just
before the arrnistice was arranged,
they found him ready to accept Gen.

3. c. Parliament Member Finds
Breach of international Honor

Ottawa. Ont, May 5.-"The United
States has committed a breach of inter-
national honor in failing during the last
two sessions of Congress to enact the
boundary waters fishery regulations
which, under treaty. they were in honor
bound to adopt" declared ]. D. Taylor,
Conservative member from British CO.
lumbia in Parliament, today.
Mr.. Taylor asserted that under the
terms of the treaty the regulations
drawn by the commissioners from Cam
ada and the United States should go into
effect without amendment. Canada he
added, had made concessions to remedy
conditions in Puget sound, but the United
States Senate had made several amend
ments of an important nature and had
then failed to ratify the agreement. He
declared that Canada should file a protest
with the British ambassador at Wash
ington.
Replying for the government, Mr.. Bro
deur, minister of marine, said that the
attention of the British ambassador had
been called to the matter. The treaty en-
tered into by the United States, he said,
provided that the regulations drawn up
by the two commissioners. David Starr
Jordan representing the United States and
Prof, Prince for Canada, should be adopt
ed. The United States Senate claimed
right to review the regulations, however.
The minister deprecated the incorporate
language used by Mr.. Taylor. He did
not believe there was ground for a for
NAL protest.
Mr. Borden, Opposition leader, asked if
Canada was bound to accept the amended
regulations.
Certainly not" replied Mr. Brodeur.

Company division of the American
Bankers Association and Mr.. Aldrich
was the principal speaker.

the elaborate association of financial
institutions his plan provides then
there is that the various clearing
hoases CT the country should become
a part of the political machine. The
organization suggested is purely an

and managed at every step solely by

would misuse power given him to ap-
point governors of the $500, 900. 900 re-
