Who Helps Others Ma'e
a Profii.
--Mount C€lemens, July 16.—-Henry
Ford was again under examiantion
by Elliott G. Stevenson, senior coun
sel for the Chicago Tribune, today in
the hearing of Ford's libel guit against
the Tribune for a million dollars. He
explained that “scare crows™” as used
in articles written for him against
preparedness referred to professional
agitators for preparedness. FHe said
he understood the word ‘treason”
meant “anything against the goveru
ment.” F
“When - Stevenson continued to fire
questions and asked the meaning of
the word “traitor,” Ford interposed
ixeutedly “I'll admit T am an ignorant
idealist.” -
. Stevenson explained to the court
fit-h:\t the alleged libelous editorial in
the Tribune referred to Ford as an
“ignorant idealist” and that his ques
;'dons were intended to show Ford, in
tuct, is ignorant if he is an idealist and
3do9su”t know the meaning of com
‘monly used words he is plainly an
ignorant idealist. It was at this poini
Ford made the angry admission, which
desvite the efforts of hig lawyers he
repeated. {
Later when formally asked to admit
he is an “ignorant idealist” the wit
nese declined to do so.
“Now Tl'll ask you what an idealis:
is,” said Stevenson.
Ford thcught a moment and replied
“one who helps others make a profit.”
The lawyer smiled and said: "well
vir, Ferd, T guess we will let the ques
tion of ‘ignorant idealist’ rest right
Much time was spent during thc
morning reading the President’s pre
paredness speeches of nineteen six
teen.
Stevenson repeated the story of
Benedict Arnold and his attempt to
hSetray his country but Ford said .he
had never heard or read of it. 'The
witness said he knew what the Decla
ration of Independence wag but he
did not recall the details.
“I could read it if T wanted to know,"
he said.
Judge Tucker suggested that this
line had been followed far encgh and
Stevenson remarked, “but this man
sets himself up ag an educator and
wanted to go to the United States
‘senate.”
Ford ‘interrupted to say, “l can get
'a man in five minutes to tell me those
