VOTE STOOD So TO 27-cANADlAN
QUESTION Is FINALLY
SETTLED.
Mr.. TAFT DELIGHTED
BITTER STRUGGLE EXPECTED IN
THE SENATE OVER
WOOL TARIFF.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-By vote of SO to ~
the reciprocal trade agreement be-
tween United States and Canada en-
bodied in the reciprocity bill that
proved storm center In two sessions
of Congress, passed the Senate without
amendment.
A majority of Republicans voted
against it. OF SO votes for it, 32 were
Democrats and 81 Republicans; OF the
% against. "a were Republicans and
Democrats.
This action settled the whole Ca
madam reciprocity question SO far as
Congress is concerned, and save for
executive approval and the Canadian
parliament's ratification. virtually
made the pact the law Of the land.
Congressional practice will delay the
affixing OF the Presidents signature.
The bill, having originated in the
House, must be returned there for
engrossment and for the signature OF
Speaker Clark while the House Is sit
ting.
The Canadian parliament has not
yet acted on the agreement and with
one exception, the provisions Of the
bill as passed by Congress. Will not
become effective until the President
issue a proclamation that Canada has
ratified the pact.
The exception to this procedure is
in the paper and pulp section OF the
bill, which 1t is announced will become
Immediately effective when the Presi-
dent signs the law.
An analysis of the vote showed that
twenty four Republicans voted against
the bill and twenty-one in favor OF 1t.
while three Democrats voted against
and thirty.two in favor Of 1t.
Il am very much gratified and de-
lighted that the bill passed." said Pres.
ident Taft. 1T indicates the increase
Of Itually beneficial relations be.
tween Canada and this country"
The President received many con-
gratulations before departing for Bev.
erly to spend the week end. In reply
to these he declared he was getting
entirely too much credit out Of the
matter, and that Secretary Knox rea!.
ly was entitled to the greatest praise.
Senator Penrose ventured the pre-.
diction that Congress would adjourn
not later than August 9th or 10th.
A bitter struggle is expected in the
Senate over the wool tariff. A wool
revision bill already has passed the
Democratic House. Several substitutes
have been offered in the Senate and \
vote will be taken.
The wool bill was made the unfin.
ished business and was taken up i'm
mediately. There were many ex-
changes Of views on this bill, espe-
cially among the Democrats. and a
suggestion for caucus was made.
Nothing is settled, but the indica.
tions are there will be Democratic
conference before the vote on the bill
The Indications also are that the
House bill will be voted down with
out effort to amend 1t. and that SUBJ
sequently the La Toilette wool bill.
already introduced in the Senate, may
be adopted as an amendment to the
House free list bill. to be finally dealt
with when the free list vote is taken
August 1st.
No sooner had the reciprocity bill
passed than senators began to pre-
pare for the attack on the tariff.
