Reciprocity passes Senate in Canada trade pact vote
The reciprocity bill between the United States and Canada cleared the Senate 53 to 27 with 32 Democrats and 21 Republicans voting for it. The action, seen as settling the Canadian reciprocity issue for now, awaits presidential signature and Canadian ratification, with the exception of the paper and pulp provisions which take effect on signing. President Taft praised the passage as boosting mutual relations. Senator Penrose led the fight for reciprocity and predicted adjournment by August 9 to 19, as next week’s Senate debates focus on the wool tariff and related substitutes.
