There is one other point, by the way, gran whichthere is a fair unanimity opinion in the Tory ranks, and that is in persisting that the Imperial Govorment offered Ca nada a reciprocal perterenee but Sir Wilfrid Laurier upurned the offer declaring that we Would give a preterence and wanted nothing in return.
