MR. JAMES BRYCE.
THE RECIPROCITY TREATY. QUESTIONS IN PARLIAMENT. By Telegraph.— Association.—Copyright. London, May 3. Notice of several questions regarding the position of Mr. James Bryce, British Ambassador in the United States, have been given in the House of Commons. The questioners are asking whether Mr. Bryce was aware of President Taft's intention to make Canada an adjunct of the United States when he recommended the acceptance of the reciprocity treaty between America and Canada last year. The Evening News, in repeating current reports, suggests that Mr. Bryce's coming visit to New Zealand and Australia is a prelude to a peerage and his re-entry into British politics. The paper states that Mr. Bryce's position has become impossible since the failure of the reciprocity treaty. Threequarters of his time is occupied with Canada's affairs.
Mr. Bryce, it was announced a few weeks ago, intends to visit New Zealand shortly. For several years he has been ■writing a book upon Democracy, and he is anxious to study the conditions in New Zealand at first hand. Mr. Bryce is now in his 74th year.
