Between Cana da and the United States, deally situated to benefit by the same free interchange that has so benefited trade among the states and among the provinces, political pressure of special interest blocs had raised a wall that was partly responsible

for the destruction of nearly $1,000,000,000 worth of the trade enjoyed in 1929.

The larger hope in the present agreement is that this first major trace in the international trade war will lead to further peace making. Whether this good exam- ple does invoką imitation will de- pend somewhat on how clearly it proves good. Mr. Roosevelt expects that it will double Canadian American trade in two or three years.
