NEW YORK, Jan. 26? Harry J.
Crowe, Newfoundland'!; "lumber
is in New York to snniul&te interest
In what he calls a "larger reciprocity
j>a<t. which shall include not only
Uhe United States and Canada, but
the entire British Empire. Mr. Crowe
hears letters from public men. both
in America and in England, favoring
the plan. In a statement he says:
"The verdict of the citizens in con
nection with the president's proposed
reciprocity pact implied a strong de
sire to itive the Mother Country a
preference over all other nations,
however tempting or alluring their of
fers may be It would therefore see:a
wise for the United States, while the
door is open, to enter into a large
reciprocity pact, embracing all the
English-speaking people, the United
_ States. Great Britain and all her col
onies, instead of Canada alone. The
alli&nee would be principally acainst
such countries as Germany and Ja
pan "
