Intimation is Given in Diplomatic
Circles That France and England
Are Preparing to Ask for Same
Tariff Concessions Given Canada.
IMPRESSION GENERAL
REQUESTS WILL BE DENIED
Senator Cummins Plans to Amend
Canadian Treaty by Placing Ad
ditional Products on List.
WASHINGTON, 1). C, April f.
Intimation is made here today in dip
lomatic circles that France and Kug
lund are preparing to ask from the
United Stated the same tariff con
cessions it is proposed to give i
('lunula.
The impression, however, is general
that the requests will be denied. It is
pointed out that the concessions are
to be given Canada only when the do
minion similarly concedes certain
points, and thai foreign nations,
therefore, will not be in a position
to claim the same favors under their
trade treaties.
Senator Cummins of Iowa, chief of
the progressive republicans, is plan
ning to amend the Canadian reci
procity treaty when it comes up mi
the sennle. He proposes to place ad
ditional products than those already
named on the free list without asking
like concessions from Canada. If his
amendment is adopted, . the United
States will be placed in a position
where it will be forced to grant sim
ilar concessions to other nations. The
administration seeks to block Cum
mins' plan.
WASHINGTON, D. ('., April .".. -A
dead silence greeted the reading
of the message of President Taft, re
submitting Hie Canadian reciprocity
treaty, in the house. There was no
demons) ration of any sort, and no in
dication of the sentiment on eithei
side.
Tho senate adjourned after the
message was read,( and the house,
at its conclusion, at once plunged
