TOLD SOUTHERNERS
THEIR ADVANTAGE

Determines Price of Com
modity of World
NEW YORK, ' June 8. "The bill,
the whole bill, and nothing but the
bill." Thus President .Taft summed up
an earnest, plea for the unamended
adoption by the senate, of the Can
adian reciprocity agreement before a
representative audience of southern'
men tonight. The occasion was a ban
quet tendered by the New Yprk Pro
duce Exchange to the Interstate Cot
ton 8eed Growers' association. The
banquet tiai resounded to a roaring
welcome for the president as he en
tered the room tonight. He had spent
a busy afternoon in Brooklyn, where
he reviewed parades of more than
150,000 Sunday, school children and
saw the Crescent Athletic club team
defeat Montreal at LaCrosse.
Governor Dlx, who arrived about
the same time, was also the reot-
ptent of a cordial greeting. -
In his address President Taft point
ed out to the Southerners the ad
vantages which their section would
derive from the enactment of the
agreement, but did not recur to his
main argument for the pending bill
on the broader 'lines of general In
terest. .There was no - questioning
the sympathy of the big. bulk of his
auditors with the president's plea.
From the start every fnentian Of the
word 'reciprocity" wa greeted with
cheers and the president at time!
had difficutly to proceed. He voiced
decided opposition to amending the
agreement by tacking on the farm
ers' free list bill, which of course,
he said, would drive away from Its
support enough vote to defeat the
agreement. ', I K
The president then said that "the
effect of the reciprocity treaty as. 4
whole Is certain to bi of the highest
usefulness to the country at large
and , will increase rapidly trade that
now exceeds 1300,000,1)00 into figures
double that sum.

maintenance of prices to prevent "d.

Into by the committee. Representative

In the steel business Believed that
open and frank disclosures to each

1 "The only question Involved In
those dinners Is whether It Is good
Isw or good morals to endeavor by
friendly Intercourse to maintain to a
reasonable extent an equilibrium of
business and prevent destructive com
petitltno. "If the department of Justice or
the president should say that this Is
not the right thing to do It would not
be contemplated for one minute. If
