Washington, Nov. 8.
Signature of the long-delayed Anglo-American trade pact is finally expected to take place early next week.
Conclusion of the accord, anticipated several months ago, was held up by the developing crisis im Europe but now that a period of relative calm has opened, the Administration here expects to drive ahead at full speed with its policy of concluding reciprocal trade agreements.
The accord with Great Britain will be followed immediately by the signing of a new agreement between the United States and Canada, for which parallel negotiations have been taking place. That both these long-vexed questions are finally to be settled was indicated by the Prime Minister of Canada; Mr. W. L. Mackenzie-King, who said recently that he looked for action on both pacts end of October.—Havas.
