CANADIAN RECIPROCITY.
MR. FOSTER CRITICISED. By Cabli —Press Association—Copyright. Ottawa, Jai.uary 24. The second reading of the West Indies reciprocity agreement is being debated. Mr. McLean declared that the Liberals were ready 10 welcome a tariff agreement with any country. Dr. Clark said the question of preferential trade within the Empire was now almoat a corpse. In Britain, tariff reform was dead. Canada ought to follow free trade in Britain's footsteps. Dr. Clark criticised Mr. Foster's proposal to initiate trade preference with Australia and Germany, while refusing the offer of the United States, although the trade was worth twenty times as much. The trouble with the Australian trip was that the expenses of travelling were likely to exceed the actual benefits received. The trip was merelv a frivolous piece of statesmanship. Xero was serious-minded compared with Mr. Foster.
