RECIPROCITY TALK
BETWEEN CANADA AND UNITED STATES DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY BY- Telegraph.—Press association. Copyright. (Rec. March 20, 11 p.m.) Washington, March 19. 'There is a strong revival of the socalled reciprocity talk between Canada and the United States. This has occurred as the result of a speech by Mr. Mackenzie King recently, suggesting possible reciprocal tariff arrangements between the two countries, in the exchange of natural products. It is pointed out, however, that while the American Government might favour such an understanding, as President Taft did in 1911, it would provoke strong opposition in Congress and probably lead to further political complications with the farm blocs in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. It is further stressed that in view of the fact that Canada defeated the project in 1911, Canada would be compelled to show stronger evidence of a desire for reciprocity before the matter could be advanced to any extent.
