Controversy Over Canadian Reciprocity DecreeActivation
Washington observers debate when the Carmilan reciprocity decree becomes operative after ratification by Congress and President Taft. The measure has two sections: one setting duties for Canadian goods and a second allowing free entry for certain wood pulp products from non taxing provinces. scholars disagree on whether section one requires Canadian parliament approval and when section two takes effect. Senator Reed Smoot says section one hinges on Canadian action, while section two could take effect upon congressional passage. Senator Nelson calls the arrangement outside reciprocity, and Senator Cumming notes the House separated section two from the rest of the bill, casting doubt on control by provisos.
