Borden, Opposition Leader, expressed his belief that the American Congress would not accept, the reciprocity .proposals on economic grounds but on political, i Mr. Monk, leader of the National-1 ists, charged Hon. Lemieux and i Mr. Brodeur -with disloyalty to the King. ' Sir. F. W. Borden, on behalf of | both these Ministers, warmly denied this.
