CANADA AND UNITED STATES.
THE RECIPROCITY AGREEMENT. SIR WILLIAM LYNE PREDICTS ANNEXATION. LUNITED PREB3 ASSOCIATION —COPYRIGHT.] : • (Received March 21, 1 a.m.) SYDNEY, March 20. Sir William Lyric, after discussing the Canadian- American reciprocity arrangements with business men in Canada, returns with the conviction that if the agreement is ratified by the Dominion House, Canada will be annexed to the United States in eight or ten years, and the British Empire will begin to disintegrate. He attributes the reciprocity negotiations to the failure of the British Government in 1907 to make ;i preferential treaty with the self-gov-erning dominions. Americans whom he met in San Francisco did not cloak the fact that the idea in their minds was the absorption of Canada. Reciprocal trade would allow American trusts and combines to spread through Canada. He was glad to see the growing feeling in Canada against the treaty, and thinks that the people have more sense than to ratify it.
