CANADA AND THE STATES
CANADA'S ALLEGED HOSTILITY. A PARTISAN VIEW. By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright London, February 28, The Pall Mall Gazette says it appears to be settled that an extra session of Congress in April will be necessary to pass the reciprocity agreement. The Senate, said the Gazette, had given a grave blow to Mr. Taft's hopes, and much depended on rushing the agreement through before Canada had time to digest it. The Dominion's hostility was deepening, and reciprocity was becoming rather cold porridge.

A sensation was caused in the House of Commons reciprocity debate when Mr. Clifford Sifton, ex-Minister in the Laurier Cabinet, abandoned the party and bitterly attacked the Reciprocity Bill as fatal to the country's interests, as well as an entire reversal of the policy which has made Canada great. He quoted the Australian action against the meat trusts, pointing out that Canada \vas. a exposing herself deliberately to similar dangers of the Prairie West being made Chicago's back-yard. Mr. Sifton's secession has deeply impressed Government circles.
