CANADA AND RECIPROCITY.
: -0- .77777, i IS ANNEXATION THE AIM? By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyritrh't (Rcc. March 21, 0.5 a.m.) Sydney, March 20. Sir William Lyne, who has just returned from Canada, in a. newspaper interview, after discussing the CanadianAmerican reciprocity arrangements, said business men •in Canada expressed the conviction that if tho agreement was ratified by the Dominion House, Canada would be annexed by the United States' in eight or ten years, and the British Empire would begin lo disintegrate. The reciprocity negotiations Sir William Lyno attributes to the failure of the British Government in 1907 to .make a preferential treaty with the self-governing Dominions. Americans he met in San Francisco did not cloak the fact that the idea in their minds was the absorption of Canada. Reciprocal trade would, of course, allow the American trusts and combines to spread through Canada. Ho was glad to seo a growing feeling in Canada against tho agreement, and he thinks the people have more sense than to ratify it.
