Reciprocity Provisions of 1911 Trade Pact with Canada
The reciprocity bill aims to boost U S Canada trade by equalizing rates on timber and other commodities and by creating freer exchange of common production. It was not a treaty because it is a revenue measure eligible for assent by legislation, not a formal international agreement. The plan, urged by President Taft, would reduce duties on many items and expand free lists while preserving some protections. It would affect prices regionally, with immediate border impacts and broader nation wide benefits through expanded trade.

Tariff Reciprocity Bill Passes With Mixed Party Support
The article notes tariff revenue shifts after the reciprocity bill, projecting about five million dollars for the United States and three million for Canada. It covers party positions, Taft’s suggestion, Republican opposition in the Senate, mixed House support, and Democratic near unity in backing the measure. The measure’s effectiveness hinges on Canada’s adoption before it becomes law in the United States.
