FAVORED NATION TREATIES.
DICTUM BY THE “TIMES.”
The “Times,” in a leading article, says “Canada is unquestionably handicapped by the twelve favored nation treaties negotiated'many years ago to suit our convenience rather than hers. •
“Her inconvenience was not then apparent, but her present commercial relationship with the United States has rendered it palpable. The maintenance of unity Avill, of course, be safeguarded to some extent under Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s third principle, by Avihich no dominion can give to a foreign PoAver any advantage Avhich does not extend to the Empire as a whole. “Foreign Powers, however, Avill bo guided in their dealings more by the actions Avhich the,different parts of the Empire take than hy the principles they proclaim, and if the Governments of the Dominions elaborate entirely separate systems of commercial treaties, -it won’t be long before our foreign friends Avill make tbe maintenance, of .Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s principle quite as inconvenient as the favored nation treaties are to-day.” ~ \
