A copy Of the resolution has been
wired to the president, and the Mon.
tana delegation in congress. II is
pointed out that the entry of refined
petroleum products into Canada duty
free would be no injury to the Domin-
ion, in that that country is compelled
at the present time TO import nearly
all of its crude and refined oil The
possible slight detraction from the re.
filming industry in Canada would be
more than offset by the trade conces.
sions TO be made by the United States
government and by the efforts Of this
government to equali2e exchange,
which, it is explained would be to
the benefit Of both nations.
The Montana Oil Mems Association
declares its intention TO pursue this
policy until its aims in this respect
are accomplished. The resolution reads
in part as follows:
Resolved that we earnestly advo
cate such reciprocal trade agreements
between the United States and Canada
as will provide for the free importa-
ton into Canada or crude petroleum.

of oil.
Resolved that we urge upon the
president and upon congress such
trade agreements as will equalize ex-
change as between the United States
and Canada, even to the stimulation
of purchasing from the Dominion to
the diminishment of European buy.

Resolved that copies OF these reso-
lutions be transmitted to President
Harding and to the members of the
