MUCH INTEREST IN CANADA
Benefits of Reciprocity Without
Return, Say Conservatives.

By Telegraph 90 The lrloune.l
Toronto. April president Wilson's
free list and tariff reductions have ere
ated much interest here. Conservatives
are inclined TO think that placing on the
free list OF many articles Of food prod
ucts which were included in the reciproc-
ity agreement and the reduction Of the
tariff on other articles is Nindication o.
their claims that by waiting untl the
Democrats came into power they would
receive al. the benefits Of rec'procil!
without giving anything in return.
The Liberals. on the other hand, whlie
welcoming reduction, are inclined TO De-
lieve that the manufacturing, and not the
farming classes. will benefit most by the
proposed change The placing Of hous
on the free list for instance they say
will be fine thing for the milling indus
tries. but is not likely materially 70
change the price of wheat. The reduction
in the duty on wheat from % TO 10 Genus
a bushel will still be prohibltve as ths
difference in price is never more than "
cents they say. The placing Of agricu'
tural implements on the free list Will
is believed. make 1t imperative for the
Canadian government TO take similar as
ton.

garded as futile In the first place, IT
is argued, without an amendment TO
the Constitution no treaty can be sub
mitted to the House. In the secord
place, experience with the reciprocity
treaties negotiated under the Dingley
bill proved that to be an impracticaole
method Of securing reciprocity.
1t is also contended that the free
sugar provision will have the effect Of
depriving the United States of Us
handsome trade with Cuba, as this
country will not be able to compete
with European nations for that trade
once it loses the advantage assured 20
it by the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
Senator Gallinger tersely labelled the
bill "a wrecker" Some OF the larger
factories of New Hampshire might
weather the storm. he said, but the
smaller institutions would be dealt n
crushing blow.

AIM AT RECIPROCITY
IN NEW TARIFF BILL
Special Rates To Be Granted to
Countries That Will Make
Treaties with U. S.

Washington. April An attempt to
widen the foreign market for American
goods and TO encourage reciprocity treat
les with all foreign nations is embodied
in the new tariff bill in clause empow-
ering the President 10 grant favors 10
any nation that gives mutual concessions
10 the United States
The reciprocity clause takes the place
Of the penalty clause Of the present tariff
law. by which il was sought 10 secure
special concessions to the United States
The new tariff bill proposes that the nor
NAL tariff rates shall be the maximum
and that special rates shall be granted to
countries that will enter into reciprocity
treaties with the United States. In the
present law the normal rates are the
minimum.
The clause designed to open wider the
markets for American exports throughout
the world is as follows:
That for the purpose OF read lustinu
the present duties on imports into the
United States and at the same time to
encourage the export trade OF this
country, the President Of the United
States is authorized and empowered 70
negotiate trade agreements with for
eign nations wherein mutual conces-
sions are made looking toward frecr
trade relations and further reciprocal
expansion of trade and commerce.
Such reciprocity agreements. under the
new law, would have to be approved b.
Congress before becoming effective.
Another concession that would be made
by the new bill is designed to encouras
American shipping. A concession OF i
per cent would be made in all tariff rates
on goods brought to this country In Amer
ican-built ships, owned wholly By Ameri-
can citizens
Restrictions on Philippine imports prac-
ucally are removed by the new bill. and
important changes in the method Of en-
forcing customs laws are provided. fol-
lowing out the recommendations made
after recent investigations OF the customs
service.
