Laurier’s Change of Policy

In his Vancouver speech Mr,
Bowser, referring to the allega-
tions that the Conservative party
formerly advocated reciprocity,

|said, “Conditions have changed| |

since then,. but if it comes
to. comparing statements we do
not have to go back many

reciprocity,”* In 1897 he remov-

ed from the statute book of Can-

ada the standing offer of recipro-

city in natural products, In 1899,

as recorded at page 102 of Han-

sard, Sir Wilfrid said:

‘If we know the hearts and minds

of our people at present, I think I
am not making too widea statement
when I aay that the general feeling
in Canada is notin favor of recipro- |
city. There wasatime when Cana-
dians wouldhave given many things
to obtain the American market.
There was a time when the Ameri-
can market of the great cities of
the union was the only market wa

. had for any of our products, but,
thank heaven, those days are past

-and.over now, We are not depend-

_ ent on the American market as we
were at one time,’

“Sir Wilfrid knew how his
delegation had been snubbed at
Washington so he hinted that
Ottawa would extend the same
treatment, only politely, Com-

Fling to 1903, Sir Wilfrid in the
J} house said:

- T have found in the short experi.
‘ence during which it has been my

HY. privilege and my fortune to be plac-

ed atthe head of affairs, by the

will ‘of the Canadian people, that
"the best.and most ‘effective way to

maintain friendship with our Am-

erican neighbours is to be absolute- _
‘ly independent of them.’

‘Mr, Bowser then ‘quoted: Sir

| Wilfrid at the Imperial Confer-

ence of 1907, when he said:

‘If we are to follow the laws of
nature and geography between Can-
ada and the United States thy
whole trade would flow from south
to north and from north to south. ©
_ We have done all things possible by
building canals and subsidizing rail-
:, ways to bring the trade into British
"channels. ‘There wag a time when

" “we, wanted reciprocity with tha
“United States, but our. efforts and
our offers were put aside. Wehaye
:-Bald goodbya to that trade and wa
“now put all our hopes upon the
British trade,’

Finally, Mr; Bowser quoted Sir

tendered British. _ Ambassador
Bryce at Ottawa on April 1,.1907.

on On that. - occasion Sir Wilfrid

said:
OE have seen, “and you have seen, -
t ih on American newspaper publish-’
‘sd in| New  Yorka few days ago,
_, that Wa are yearning for reciprocity
‘with the United States, Now IJ tell

“paper is 28 years behind the times, :
‘At that time we would have given |

our right arm for such a thing, but
iti ig now a thing of the past.
