The Canadian team went back to Washington when King's Liberals won the election, settled for a much weaker agreement than the Bennett government had insisted upon, an agreement that is judged to have been more favourable to the US than to Canada. www.ola.bc.ca /online/cf/module-4/usrel.html   (20021 words)
