* CANADA AND UNITED STATES. QUESTION OF RECIPROCITY. RESOLUTION BY A CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. By Telegraph.— Press Association.— Copyright. OTTAWA, 12th May. The Montreal Board of Trade Council has resolved that the movement for a reciprocity treaty with the United States should be discontinued, on the ground that Canada cannot afford to endanger her growing industries or have her natural resources exploited for the benefit of the United States. The resolution adds : "Reciprocity would inevitably tend to slacken the ties binding Canada and the Motherland." [The Times recently declared : "The movement towards reciprocity with Canada is rapidly becoming the leading feature of the United States' Republican programme. It is possible that President Taft will see in reciprocity with Canada a golden opportunity of recon-" structing tha fi&cal side of the Republican programme, and of thus re-estaolish-ing the prestige of the Republicans in the West. Hence, the Unionists' refusal to heed Lord Rosebery's advice to abandon Tariff Reform, and Mr. Balfour's decision to admit Empire wheat free, is j particularly fortunate."] IMPORTANT MEMORANDUM.
