WATSON ASSA|LS
! | HARRISON SPEECH.
Not Tariff But Depression
, Declared Cause of Foreign
Trade Decline.

t. Statements attributed to Senator
Pat Harrison. Democrat. OF Mississippi,
asserting that the Hawley-Smoot tariff
had closed foreign markets to the
United States, were today challenged
as wide of the truth" by Senator
James Watson of Indiana, Republican
leader of the Senate.
Through the Republican National
Committee. Watson quoted Harrison as
Tampa. Fla. that the present tarih
had f'destroyed our foreign trade"
Ne asserted. in reply, that official
figures showed that the decrease in
American foreign trade had been little,
#, any. greater than that Of foreign
countries. and that this was due to the
economic depression.
: Stand on Dole Praised.
The Indiana Senator congratulated
Harrison for his declaration against "a
Government dole policy" He said this
stand ipdorsed the policy of the Hoover
administration, and took issue with
Jouett Shouse, chairman Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, who has
hitherto indicated his clear approval
of the dole system under the gu!se OF
Federal unemployment insurance"
Watson asserted that United States
export trade declined only SO per cent
in the second quarter of this year, as
compared with a similar period in
1929, before the stock market crash.
When the volume of imports is con-
sidered, he asserted. the met decline
in our foreign commerce amounted to
but 1905 per cent"
Other Nations Decreases.
Against these figures. Watson said
the foreign trade of Australia had de-
creased sos per cent, that of Brazil,
36;7 per cent: that of Canada. 27.9;
Germany. 1853; Italy, 1876, and the
Uhiyed Kingdom. 17.3.'
.These figures" he said, make 1t
perfectly clear that the foreign trade
of all countries have decreased sharply
not because Of the Hawley-Smoot tariff
Ian passed by our country. but be-
cause of the depression which grips all
lards.'
