Washington. June 15.-The second
day of the debate on tho Canadian re-
eiprocity bill proved a field day for
those opposed to the measure. Mr..
Knute Nelson spoke against the bill,
At adjournment Senator Penrose, In
charge OF the bill felt that todays de-
bate had cleared the atmosphere. and
he stated that the general debate
would not be OF such great duration
as had been predicted.
Senator Nelson was radically an
tagonistic to the bill. Spirited debate
among Republican Senators was STRAIT
ed over the paper section of the bill.
Senator Clarke. of Wyoming. and Sem
ator Smoot, spoke.
How then. did that feature Of the
agreement disappear" asked Sena-
tor Alden. when speaking of the
amendment relating to print paper.
Apparently the Wyoming Senator
seemed disposed to leave the amend
ment there but he said later that the
amendment was not only In harmony
with the original contract between the
two countries. but In consonance with
the Canadian bill carrying the agree
ment into effect. Mr.. Smith was not
satisfied and demanded from Chair
man Penrose an explanation OF the
disappearance OF that feature from
the bill.
The change" ne said, occurred in
the ways and means committee Of the
House and the Senator from Michigan

The effect then Is to give the Ca
nadians free trade in paper and pulp
and not to give II to u.s." commented
Mr.. Smith. "and yet we are told by
the House that we must not change
a word in the bill as 1t was passed
there for fear OF imperilllng It,"
Mr.. Nelson declared that the Ca
nadians have outwitted the United
States.
They fooled us into putting agri-
cultural implements on the free list,
