CANADA'S PREMIER
HERE To AID TRADE.
King Greeted as He Arrives
for Treaty Talks With
President Roosevelt.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Government extended the
hand of welcome today toward VIII
liam Lyon Mackenzie King, Canada's
new Liberal premier, who journeyed
here to talk trade with President
Roosevelt.
William Phillips, Acting Secretary
of State in the absence of Secretary
Hull, and a group of aides donned
top hats to greet the premier on his
arrival shortly after noon.
Basis Of the conversation with
President Roosevelt is the proposed
Canadian American reciprocal trade
treaty, which has been in process
of negotiation for almost year. Some
obstacles to mutual tariff reductions
were encountered before the negotia-
tions temporarily were halted during
the Canadian election campaign.
U. S. Hopes for Success.
One plank in Kings election plat
form was a pledge to conclude the
trade pact. The hope was expressed
unofhcially here that he might bring
solution leading to an early con-
summation.
Objections in both countries to
tariff reductions on some commodities
constitute problem.
Canada Is lie second largest pur-
chaser from America and this coun.
try buys more goods from Canada
than from any other country. Since
1929, however, the volume has fallen
of considerably: our exports to
Canada dropped from $94s. .00o, 900 in
that year to $211 ,000, 900 in 1888; our
imports from the Dominion decreased
from $5o3 ,ooo. 900 to $1s5 100000.
Somewhat Better Now.
Trade betW..n the t countries
improved somewh last year, Ameri-
can exports having risen to $302, ,000,-
o,) and imports to $231, ,000, 900.
It was not disclosed whether their
conversation would extend beyond the
trade, treaty, but it was pointed out
they would have ample opportunity to
discuss the st. Lawrence waterway
project. Both government heads are
active supporters Of the project.
The prime minister will spend his
first night here at the Canadian Lega-
ton and tomorrow night will be
