CANADA AND THE STATES
MEMBER'S ANOMALOUS POSITION. By Cable—Press Association—Copyright. Ottawa, March 7. Mr. Siflon's constituents are resolute in supporting the Government on the question of reciprocity. They have not asked Mi'. Sifton to resign, and he has made no statement of his intentions. Mr. Sifton, ex-Minister in the Laurier Government, has abandoned his support of the party, owing to his opposition to the reciprocity proposals. CANADIAN PREMIER IN REPLY. THE "ANNEXATION" RIDICULED. ' j Received 9, 12.55 a.m. ! Ottawa, March 8. The House of Commons was crowded to hear Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Premier, defend the reciprocity agreement. He asserted that Canada's trade was certain to benefit therefrom, and ridiculed the possibility of annexation by the United States, asserting that Canada was sufficiently satisfied with her place within the Empire as to desire to maintain it. He hoped that peace would ever exist between Great Britain and the United States, and expressed the belief that Canadian reciprocity would aid towards such an end.
