§ 19. Mr. RAMSBOTHAMasked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Argentine trade agreement has yet been approved by the Argentine Senate; and, if not, whether he can indicate by what date it will receive consideration by that body?
§ Mr. W. GRAHAMThe answer to both parts of the question is in the negative.
§ Mr. A. M. SAMUELAre we to understand that this will not materialise?
§ Mr. GRAHAMI trust that the House will not reach that conclusion. The delay, I understand, is due to certain constitutional difficulties belonging to the Argentine election; but I have every hope that this agreement will be completed.
§ Mr. SAMUELIs the right hon. Gentleman taking the matter seriously in hand, as it affects us greatly?
§ Mr. GRAHAMThe House may rest assured that everything is being done in connection with this agreement.
§ Mr. HURDHas the right hon. Gentleman noticed the strong feeling expressed in Canada as to the effect of this agreement on inter-Imperial relations?
