HILL FOR RECIPROCITY.
Argues That the Agreement With
Canada Should Be Ratified.
spcc,al DIspa,ch 10 The star.


PHILADELPHIA. Pa. January 2s.-The
North American wired James J. Hill. ask
Ing for an expression of opinion on the
proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada.
Mr. Hill replies as follows:
THE proposed reciprocity agreement be-
tween Canada and the United States is
measure OF true craftsmanship. In
telligent citizens and public men approve
81. 1t is mainly opposed by the dema-
gogue.
There is nc valid objection to much
freer Interchange of commodities between
the two countries than that provided for
by the new treaty. IL does not affect the
protective principle at all. because pro-
tective duties are OF no more value be-
tween the United States and Canada than
they would be between Minnesota and
Wisconsin.
Our trade with Canada Is now nearly
$3ooceoo a year and growing rapidly.
She Is our third best customer, and will
probably soon take second place. The
union OF all parts of the British empire
In Il commercial federation is only ques-
ton OF time. When that shall have been
concluded under a system of preferential
advantages inSuring the English market
to the colonial producer of raw materials
and food products. and the colonial mar
ket TO the English manufacturer, it will
strike the United States d double blow.
Our best customer, Great Britain. and
our third best. Canada. will trade less
and less with us and more and more with
each other. and it will then be permanent
~ impossible TO repair the error.
Indeed. the fate of former attempts to
secure reciprocity, the rapid growth of
Canada in the resources that give dignity
and pride 10 a nation and all the Geo.
nomic conditions of the time indicate that,
should the present measure fail no other
can succeed for wears TO come.
There ought not TO be one voice i'm the
country against an agreement worth more
than armies and navies. more in dollars
and cents than the opening OF new mar
kets elsewhere. for which we are prepared
10 spend hundreds OF millions

PENDANTS. States Attorney Owens and
Deputy States Attorney Charles Nor
ris Howard argued the cases for the
prosecution.
Four Legal Questions.
In his opening argument. Mr.. Willis
propounded four legal questions for the
court to determine. The legal PROPOSE
lions involved. according to Mr.. Willis,
were:
Il. Has a municipal corporation the
power. under it's police power. to pre-
scribe what shall be negro blocks and
what shall be white blocks in the city
limits?
-. Is 1t a reasonable exercise of the
police power of municipal corporation
to determine whether or not a land
owner has the right to use such land
as he may own as a place of residence?
Duty of Would-Be Residents.
49, Is II incumbent upon each person
about to procure a residence in the city
OF Baltimore. before doing SO, to de-
termine. according to the provisions Of
the West ordinance. whether or not the
said block wherein such residence is
situated is black or white block?
-. Does the ordinance fulfill the re-
qufrcments of the charter provision?'
II is not likely that a decision will be
reached until next week. The case
probably will be taken to the court of
appeals for final construction.
