MAKING OF TREATIES.
(Reoeived February 21, 8 a.m.)
LONDON, February 20,
The Daily Chronicle declares -aat the implication from the recent speech by Mr W. A. S. Hewins, secretary to the Tariff Commission, is that Canada's treaty-making powers ought to be restricted. The Chronicle recalls Mr Joseph Chambeiiain's proposal to limit the development of the Dominions by a schedule of forbidden industries.
THE BRITISH ATTITUDE. (Received Last Night, 10.10 o'clock.) LONDON, February 21. In the House of Commons, the Premier (Right Hon. H. H. Asquith) replying to questions,' said it was impossible for the British Ambassador at Washington to closely follow the complicated reciprocity negotiations. He watched British interests, and did not protest against the diminution of preference. Replying to Mr Norton Griffiths, Mr Asquith said there was not sufficient reason to appoint a special committee to.report on the question of improving and strengthening the relations with the self-governing Dominions.
AN AMBASSADOR'S NEGLECT. (Received Last Night, 10.10 o'clock.) LONDON, February 21. The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting on Mr He-win's speech, declared that Mr Bryce, British Ambassador, ought to have informed the menfc of the course of events. The Government, however, cannot, plead ignorance after Earl Grey's warning. The paper asks why Mr Bryce was not warned to report.
LIBERAL OPPOSITION
Received This Morning, 12.15 o'clock OTTAWA, February 21. The leading - Liberals at Toronto have issued a statement opposing reciprocity, chiefly on the ' ground —at it would' strengthen the, ties with the United States and enable the latter, when Canada was filled with a' large foreign population, to exert enormous pressure in favour of annexation.
THE POSITION SERIOUS. Received This Morning, 12.15 o'clock NEW YORK, February 21. / Senator Aldrich favours reciprocity. It is unknown if the "Returning from a holiday to Georgia Aid. Bill" will pass the Senate. President Taft considers that the situation is serious, and has appealed to Senator Aldrich to use'his influence with the Senators. -
