HOOVER WANTS” PUBLIC BACKING OF NAVAL AIMS .General Opinion Needed to Override Influences Against Limitation. BY LYLE C. WILSON Colled Pre** Stall Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—The administration is concerned now with mobilizing a public sentiment strong enough to override influences tending to frustrate the new naval limitations movement. Covert suggestions that big navy influences in congress may be hostile, dispatches from abroad report- , ing suspicion in Paris and Rome, and efforts here to make it appear there are serious difference between President Hoover and Prime Minister MacDonald over details of their tentative cruiser limitation agreement. have put the administration on guard. Address One Weapon President Hoover’s radio address, in which he declared there is an “almost universal prayer” that this effort at arms limitation shall succeed, was a dramatic answer to those who, for one reason or another, are cool toward his project. Secretary of State Stimson this week took cognizance of one feature by emphasizing that invitations to the proposed five-power naval conference will be issued by Gre&t Eritain alone, not jointly with the United States, an impression which spread fears of an Anglo-American entente in France and Italy. Visit to Help Work It is expected the visit of Prime Minister MacDonald here within a few weeks will dramatize the project and mobilize public sentiment. Meanwhile the senate investigation of the big navy propaganda activities of William B. Shearer, starting today, is the result of efforts by President Hoover to put forces hostile to his program on the defensive. Washington is confident France Italy and Japan will accept imminent invitations to discuss naval limitations and reduction. So far there has been no evidence editorial expressions of doubt and suspicions have been inspired by men responsible for French or Italian policies.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WATCHMAKERS VOICE THREATS OF PRICE HIKE Four Big Companies Fight Smaller Fry Concerns on i Tariff Schedules. Bu Bcriwi-Tlourard yetespaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—The two halves of the American watch industry are squaring off for a bitter fight, of interest to everyone who carries a watch, when the senate reaches the watch schedules of the tariff bill, which carry large increase in rates. Four big companies make the all r American, more expensive watches and claim imports of low and medium-priced movements are hurting them. Other United States companies, which put these imported movements into American cases, claim the higher tariff will raise prices and deprive Americans of any chance to buy moderate-price jeweled watches. They claim their watches do not compete with the all-American watches “any more than a Ford car competes with a Lincoln,” and that the all-American manufacturers are making huge profits under the present tariff law. Increased costs, according to Milton H. Biow of New York, who sent a statement to all senators against the raises, will increase prices of all classes of cheaper watches, especially popular-priced wrist watches. He declared that Elgin and Hamilton, among the all-American watch companies, are making, respectively, dividends of 20 and 15.6 per cent on

stock, which includes many stock dividends! and that Waltham and Howard, the others, also are in good shape. Taylor Strawn of Chicago, representing these watchmakers, charged importers resort to many subterfuges to avoid paying the higher duty on completed watches, such as shipping in the movements complete except for one important part. Imports are increasing, he said, and

Their finished produpt. is worth $50,000,000 a year, he said, of which only $10,000,000 is represented by imports and the other $40,000,000 is produced here.
