MEMORANDUM FOR s/s
Mr. Eric Johnston called on the Secretary this afternoon
and stated that he was quite concerned regarding a report he had
that the Tariff Commission is going to recommend an increase
in the duty on Swiss watches. He said that the Swiss have said
that if this happens they would not allow the importation of any
American motion pictures. He regarded this as potentially a very
bad situation and went into a lengthy discourse on the evils
of a high tariff policy, remarking that "First it was cheese; now
it is Swiss watches; next week it will be something else." The
Secretary said that he would look into this matter.
Will you please have someone prepare a report on this
for us.
