The history Of Reciprocity ne
gotiatitons between the United
States and Canada. dates back 10
the carly days Of Canada as o
dominion
AT fir. the conservative ele-
ment in Canada wanted United
reciprocity while the liberals
wanted absolute free trade Now
since the United States has a.
greed TO limit intercourse, the
Canadian liberals are in line for
that theory but the conservatives
have moved from their old posi-
ton and now want protective
tariff. Canada thinks she has
become more Independent Of the
United States and sees that re-
United States and she sees that re
ciprocity provided in the act Of
the American Congress would
give the United States trade ad-
vantage over Canada, just as ex-
planned by Senator CulberSon
and now there Is strong opPoSi-
ton there to any sort Of free
trade relations with US and the
