GERMAN WATCHES SELL
IN U. S. FOR fl.SS
Washington.—Time pieces made
in Germany are being distributed <
among the members of both Houses
of Congress as an argument for
American valuation plan in connec
tion with the pending tariff bill.
Mrs. Harding has also been the re
cipient of one of the watches. The
watch given Mrs. Harding, appar
ently a very valuable one, cost $1.33
r after all duty had been paid. This
was because of the fact that it was
manufactured by labor paid in cheap
German money and was imported
Into this country and valued on the
basis of depreciated German cur
rency. The German mark under
normal conditions, as in pre-war
days, was worth 24 cents. Today it
U worth between oue-third and one
half of a cent; and it is upon the
basis of such depticiated currency
that German imports are valued.
GERMAN'S HOPE FOR
DEFEAT TARIFF HILL
New York.—A special copyright
ed article to the New York Herald
fr*m its Berlin correspondent says:
"German exporters are not happy
over the proposed American tariff.
One German Arm that exported more
than 1,000,000 thermos bottles to
the United States last year says he
can sell these bottles in America for
50 cents and pay duty, and yet make
a profit." The American manufac
turers of thermos bottles will verify
the New York Herald's cable be
cause the largest thermos bottle
manufactory in this country has
completely shut down, owing to Its
inability to make a thermos bottle
at factory cost aa cheaply as the
German thermos bottles are sold in
the retail stores of the United |
States.
