Excerpt from Reciprocity With Canada: Hearings Before the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, 61st Congress, 3d Session, on H. R. 32216, February 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 9, 1911 Committee on Ways and Means, House of Representatives, Washington, D. C., Thursday, February 2, 1911. The committee met at 10.30 o´clock a. m., Hon. Sereno E.Payne (chairman) presiding. Present: The chairman and Messrs. Dalzell, McCall, Hill, Boutell, Needham, Calderhead, Fordnev, Gaines, Longworth, Dwight, Ellis, Clark, Underwood, Pou, Randell, Broussard, Harrison, and Brantley. The committee thereupon proceeded to the consideration of the bill (H. R. 32216) to promote reciprocal trade relations with the Dominion of Canada, and for other purposes. The Chairman. The committee will be in order. The hearing this morning is on the McCall bill, the purpose of which is to carry out and perfect the agreement made by the Executive with Canada. Is there any gentleman here who desires to be heard? Statement Of Hon. Augustus P. Gardnee, A Representative From Massachusetts. Mr. Gardner. Mr. Chairman, I want to make a very short statement, and then I would like to present these witnesses, who are business men and master mariners and practical fishermen. I would like to ask them questions myself, I can in that way save a great deal of time. Then I would like to turn them over to you to cross-examine them. They do not want to make speeches. It takes up time. For that reason I would like to ask them a number of questions, myself, and then turn them over for cross-examination. If you have authority to administer oaths I would ask that they be put under oaths. The Chairman. We have no authority to administer oaths. Mr. Gardner. Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the committee, there are here from Gloucester men who represent every shade of opinion on this treaty. In the first place, there are the men who catch the fish, and they without exception are in favor of protection on both the raw material and the finished product. This treaty takes the duty off of both the raw fish and the manufactured fish. On the other hand, there are a number of gentlemen here who do not fish themselves, but who manufacture fish. They wish to retain the duty on the finished product, but are not in favor of the duty on the raw fish. Of that number one gentleman. Col. Charles F. Wonson, is, as I judge from his telegram to Mr. McCall and to me, in favor of free fish from first to last. So far as I know, judging by the tremendous shower of telegrams that I have received, Col. Wonson is not largely upheld in that view by the people who are engaged in the manufacture of fish; but at the same time he is a man of ability, and I think in fairness he ought to be heard after I have put on my witnesses. Now, just a short statement. I want to put on the mayor of Gloucester, simply to present a petition. He will make no statement.
