Defeat of Root amendment heralds broader reciprocity pact
Washington reports the Root amendment to the Canadian reciprocity bill was defeated in the Senate. The vote was by voice, no roll call, with the amendment sought to delay free admission of pulp and print paper until export restrictions by Canadian provinces were removed. A consent agreement by Chairman Penrose proposed votes on July 24 for reciprocity and related tariffs, but progressive Republicans and some Democrats signaled opposition, risking failure of the plan.
