WATSON URGES
UNITED FRONT
ON TARIFF ACT
Brings Word From HOOv-
er Asking Factions To
End Differences.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. W.H-
Carrying the word from Presiden!
Hoover, Republican Floor Leader
James f. Watson of Indiana, appeal
ed to the opposing factions in the
senate today to settle their differ
! ences in order that tariff bill
might be passed.
After a conference at the White
House last night, Watson took the
floor at the opening of the senate
session and delivered an impa ssiOned
appeal for harmony. Neither east
ern nor western senators can get all
they want, he said, but no one will
get anything under present condi.
tions.
"The sane, sensible thing for men
to do is to sit down and find out
reasonable rates and then pass the
BILL" said Watson.
"The men from the agricultural
states realize we ought to increase
agricultural rates" said Watson.
"Thc eastern senators feel that there
are certain industries which are leg.
ging and which need protection. No
one wants to destroy an American
industry.
"The President is very anxious to
have the bill passed. Whatever the
President may have had in mind, the
House has passed tariff bill and
there is nothing for the senate to do
but consider it. The sane thing to do
is to find out what schedules are to
be considered.
"The will to do it will accomplish
the deed"
Watson denied emphatically that
the President had said he would
sign the bill as now constructed. He
said he never asked the President
what sort of bill he would sign and
attributed the erroneous report to
"the enthusiasm of one Of my news.
paper friends, who drew q little on
his imagination"

al think bill can be passed and
ought to be passed." he concluded.
"We must do that or recognize that
the senate is an incompetent and i'm.
potent body"
Senator Harrison, Democrat, Miss
issippi, replied for the Democrats
and urged the senate to pass bill
and let President Hoover decide
whether he wants it.
Harrison said the President should
express his views regarding the rates
in the bill. He pointed opt he Re.
publican party in the senate is divid.
ed into two opposing factions with
regard to the rates.
"Thc President ought to take sides
as between the two factions of his
party" Harrison said.
Speaking for the Independent side
of the coalition Senator Borah, Re
publican, Idaho, refused the propos.
ition Of conferences to settle the
rates and said there could never be n
bill until the issue is fought out on
the open floor of the senate.
Borah said he was willing to enter
any agreement for limitation of de.
bate which would bring the bill to
an early vote.
