Abandons Canadian Field Motives Debated
New York Herald plans to close its Ottawa news bureau amid a backlash from Canadian conservative papers after its coverage of Canada and potential reciprocity. The text defends the bureau as a trade initiative to foster relations and a potential rapprochement, denying annexation aims and stressing goodwill toward Canada. The piece frames the Halifax Herald as misreading motives and asserts American business friendship with Canada.
