+ba house of commons are preparing
to catechise the government regard
ing what they characterize as Am
bassador Bryce's reasonable act in
supporting the proposal made by Taft
in the matter of Canadian RECIPROCITY

poses to recall the ambassador. Arthur
Shirley Benn is anxious to know If
Mr.. Bryce was aware that the object Of
reciprocity was to make Canada an
adjunct of the United States? If mis-
acouiescence therein was not treason
