Importer in v dilate Watson of Indiana Charges Big Stores Oppose Tariff Because of Excessive Profits. Simmons Replies Sharply Washington, June 22. Another address in the series planned by re publicans in charge of the tariff bill designed to show that importers and big department stores are fighting that measure because they do not want their profits cut down, was de livered today in the senate by Sena tor Watson, republican, Indiana.

Exhibiting a score of foreign-made articles Senator Watson explained they had been purchased by govern ment agents in New York at prices ranging from 65 per cent -to 1,743 per cent above the cost landed in this country as. shown by' official records. He argued this showed the importers and department stores were behind a propaganda to defeat the pending bill. - . -Attack Called Ridiculous. -Senator Simmons in his reply de clared that as a tariff argument Senator Watson's speech and one of a similar nature made last week by Senator -' McCumber, republican, North Dakota, were "preposterous and ridiculous" because the cost and selling prices of American-made goods comparable to the imported articles exhibited t had not been given. . He exhibited some articles made in this country and abroad and produced letters stating that the im porters' sale, prices and the Ameri can manufacturers' sale prices were about the same. Brandishing a sporting rifle of modern type above his head, the In diana senator remarked that the fig ures on its cost and selling price showed what was being done, but he was interrupted by Senator Smith, democrat, South Carolina, who in quired if Senator Watson intended using the gun to reinforce his argu ment. Senator ' Watson - returned that his argument would stand alone. Rifle Cost 90 Cents. . . . The rifle cost 90 cents in Germany, the senator said, adding yit was valued at $1.80, including duty at New York and sold later there at re tail ior $15. " Senator Jones, demo crat, ftew Mexico, took issue wftn Senator Watson coacernin the for eign -cost, declaring that the invoice must have shown a record m marks instead of cents, and that as a result the "senator's figures. meant noth ing." Senator Watson retorted that .no invoice could get by customs author ities if made out other than in United States coin, and added after a 10 minute interchange of argument: j-; "The senator from New Mexico -(Mr. Jones) has been talking here for weeks. This is my speech and I intend to talk some myself and not have all the time taken up by others." Nevertheless, interruptions con tinued with growing frequency and the presentation of articles was ma terially slowed. Statement Brines Laugh. Senator Watson presented an electric hair dryer which cost , $3.57 and sold for $17.50 for which, Sena i tor, Watson said, "unfortunately my friend from Kentucky (Senator j Stanley) has no use.

British Aviation Program Makes Navy iSurrender as Mistress of Overwhelming Air Supremacy Is Achieved Propaganda Through Press Is Preparing Pobple to Consent to Huge Expenditures. irriM, ittt. London, June 22. The Washing ton treaties for a naval holiday and the limitation of armaments may be made obsolete if the British govern ment adopts the monntcr aviation program which the Lloyd George cabinet is now studying.

Prime Minister Lloyd George already has been in consul tation for some time with air min istry officials, and Austen Chamber lain has just announced to the house of commons that the cabinet is ex amining a program designed to pro tect England and to ensure it a proper place among the leading air powers.

Mr. Woodruff introduced a resolu tion for an investigation, declaring that charges of maladministration, discrimination between alien enemies and American citizens whose prop erty was seized and payment of ex cessive fees to attorneys have been so frequent as to create a condition which cannot be ignored without grave injury to the good name of our country. Referendum of Code Would Cost $74,900 Lincoln. June 22. (Special Tele gram:) D. M. Amsberry, secretary of state, said todav that if Orville Jones and other democratic politi cians are successful in obtaining a mandamus forcing him to put the administrative code bill to a refer endum at the November election it would cost taxpayers $74,900. Ams berry bases these figures on the fol lowing expenses incidental to a ref erendum: For printing pamphlets, $52,400; postage pamphlets, 6 cents each, $19,500; mailing and dravage, $3,000. Ihe cost of printing the entire bill necessary under the law would be enormous because it is a big bill and would take hundreds of pages more of pnntinsr matter than the four laws passed by the last legisla ture which have been referred to a referendum by Nonpartisan league petitions at a cost to the taxpayers of from ; $10,000 to $15,000," Ams berry said.
