POLITICS IN CANADA.
ANOTHER GOVERNMENT WIN.
HOSTILE AMENDMENT DEFEATED. (Received 10.5 p.m.) Reuter. OTTAWA, Feb. 16. A Conservative amendment to the Address-in-Reply in relation to trade treaties was moved in \,he House of Commons to-day. It was by 118 votes to 108. The amendment caused considerable discussion concerning the r scent trade agreement with Australia. The Government received solid support from the Liberal, Progressive and Labour groups. Just before the vote was taken the Conservative leader, Mr. Arthur Meighen, said the treaty with Australia exposed practically all the farming population of Canada to unlimited competition from a country which was almost the largest exporter of meat in the world and one of the greatest exporters of dairy products. He said he believed that since the treaty had come into operation more butter had come to Cana.da in one month than had formerly entered the country in a year.
