Canada is Watching United States Tariff Legislation; Will be No Hasty Action (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Ottawa, June 20. -- While the progress of the United States ta:- iff legislation is being followed with close attention, there is uv disposition to act hastily. The at- titude of watchful waiting which was adopted by the Government before the introduction of the last Robb budget, is being maintaineu, There is no tendency to ignore the proposed changes in the United States tariff schedules, and their probable efect on Canada's trade is being noted, but the process now going on is one merely of garner ing information. The tariff advis- ory board is at work, but it is stat- ed that the board is engaged on the iron and steel. coal and fish sched- ules, etc., which were the subject of inquiry at recent sittings. Nat- urally, the modifications in the United States tariff have a bearing on some of these schedules, and hei~ effect is being noted. The attitude of the Government apears to have been stated by Hon. Ernest LaPointe, at Grand Bend vesterday when he said that the fiscal policies of Canada would be shaped at Ottawa and not dictated by Washington. Mr. Robb, himself, intimated during the past session of Parliament that Canada must trade with those countries which wil trade wth Canada.

James, one of Bowmanville's most prominent citizens, died at one o'clock this. afternoon in the Bow- manville Generdl Hospital, He was in his 48th year, Mr. James had been ill for about two weeks from erysipelas, and for the past two days his condition was such as to cause the gravest concern. This morning the 'end seemed near and his aged father and othér® members of the family were summoned to his bed- side. and were with him when the summons came, Had Many Activities Mr. James was President of the Bowmanville Hospital Board and had occupied that .position for several years past, being very much inter- ested and greatly devoted to the work of the Hospital.

The logical step to achieve his object is increased British pref- erence. If the ' United States shuts out Canadian comm Aities, market for these commodities will be sought elsewhere, preferably within the Empire. This seems to be the viewpoint held here. But theré will be no hasty action and the only effort at present, as far as Canada is concerned, seems to he to find out what the United States' final action will be.
