BY United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, Jan. SO.-The line
up that became apparent in Congress
today in the opening of the logisia-
tive struggle over President Taft's
Canadian reciprocity arrangement, in
dicated that the fight on the measure
is likely to be sectional rather than
political.
AS a general proposition, it is ad-
mitted that the bill will be opposed
by the representatives OF the agri-
cultural States and will have the sup
port of the manufacturing cOmmuni-
tics. Dispatches from Canada TO sup
porters of the measure ne e, ueDt-
that opposition to the agreement in
the Canadian Parliament will develop
along the same lines.
British interests declare the agree
ment would shift to American mar.
kets the Canadian wheat which is now
shipped to England. British shippers
and manufacturers with Canadian in
tcrests are declaring that it will ruin
Canadian manufacturers.
Opponents of the bill today began
to bring pressure TO bear on the House
Committee on Ways and Means, which
now has the McC-l bill embodying
the agreement-under consideration
TO prevent report on the measure.
President Taft has aiken the position
that he has done his duty I'm send
ing the agreement TO Congress.
