 It is possible for a political party in Canada to elect majority of members ot the house of commons and yet be In a minority so far as the popular vote IS concerned

Bordon win, 1t is rald reciprocity would become dead issue.
 Another contingency is the possibility Of the conservative party blocking the pact again in the house of commons, should that party obtain majority of the pop ular vote and yet lose the commons. Should the opposition party again adopt Q policy of obstruction the leaders would claim they were warranted in doing so by the popular vote The liberal party lead CTS. however, do not look for such sit uation and claim to be confident that reciprocity with the United States will be- come a law before the year ends.
