CANADA BITTER AGAINST
TARIFF
A feeling of injustice and re
sentment in Canada against tar
iff adjustments now being made
in Washington was recorded be
fore the eighteenth annual
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States by
Lieut. J. H. Woods, president of
the Canadian Chamber of Com
merce.
..Woods estimated that .tariff
changes now proposed would re-'
duce Canadian trade with the
United States by about $75,000,
000 a year. Canada now buys
from this country $800,000,000
worth of goods a year, he said,
and sells only about $400,000,000.
“We recognize the assiduity
with which your legislators are
endeavoring to keep Canada
from doing business with you ex
cept by way of purchase,” Woods
said, “and it would be too much
for you to expect us to regard
such a situation with either
gratitude or appreciation.
“I say that Canada as a whole
is feeling a sentiment of in
justice toward it in your some
what ruthless enactments de
signed to prevent the sale of our
goods in your country. We find
difficulty in establishing any
market with you and we are
growing to feel what is even
worse, that if through earnest
efforts and sound modern meth- ^
ods we cultivate a market with
you, that market may be cut off
from us at any moment.”
