this time realized that this preferential
duty is a stumbling block in the way of
reciprocity that must be removed if
Canada is to have closer commercial
relations with this country and if the
Canadian government will not make
this concession it might as well ceased
all efforts to secure a reciprocity agree-

entered into by the commission, which |
is not at all probable, it could not be I
ratified by the senater nor carried into

Canada, except as an evidence of loyalty
