NEW CANADIAN
TREATY IS NOW
GREAT PUZZLE
Congress Is Bewildered and Displays
Strong Dislike to a Hasty Ratifi
cationWalt Report by Tariff E
perts Before Acting.
MUCH TO BE DONE IN
THE NEXT 30 DAYS
Acceptance or .Rejection of the
Measure Is Most Unlikely Be
fore Regular Session.
f
WASHINGTON', D. C, Jnn. 27.
Congress today Is simply bewildered
over tho situation regarding tho Can
adian reciprocity treaty and is dis
playing a strong dislike to hasty rat-
ilfcation, until tho tariff experts of
the body may come to a decision nB
to what wll bo ts effect on the rev-'
enuo. It s feared that any effort I
to gain Immediate approval for tho
measuro may result la a blockade of
legislation which would mako an ex
tra session unavoidable.
Only 30 days of tho present ses
sion, it Is pointed out, remain, and
with the Halllngor matter, tho Lorl
mer fght, the tarff commission, tho
j8np subsidy, tho reapportionment of
congressional representation and tho
!fiChodulo - bv - schedulo rovislon of tho
tariff anustlon still pending, tho load
ers aro plainly worried lest tho In
troduction of tho Cnnndlan reciproc
ity problom may so load down con
gress as to rosult in an inextricable
muddle.
The reciprocity treaty tcday Is In
peculiar shape. Tho sonata lofurrod
the agreement to tho committee on
foreign relations and then transfer
red It to the flnnnco committee. Now
many still want to rofer It to tho
foreign relations committee nnd a
transfer back to thnt body Ik not Im
possible. In tho house tho mutter
has been referrod to tho ways and
moans commlttoo and thoro It Is like
ly to stay until roportod for action
by tho lower national body.
Wliilo no one of tho loaders In con
gross Is proparod to go on record to
day with any predictions ns to the
fato of tho Cnnndlan treaty, It Is ad
mitted to be a certainty that with so
many matters of grave parlsan Impor
tance still unsettled, tho acceptance
or rojoction of tho measuro Is most
unlikely before thq conclusion of tho
regular session.
