Henry F ord N amed ‘ One
Man Equipped To Meet

The foUowing is an open letter

editorial page of a recent is

Mr Henry Ford,
dearborn " Mich *
Dear Mr Ford:
You are the one man in Amer
ica equipped to meet the nation's
military emergency.
You are the one man in America
with more iron mines, steel 'mills,
boats, forests, rivers and machine
shops than any other mar..
You are the one man in Amet-j
ica with research laboratories,
scientists, chemists, metallurgists;
and other experts capable of turn
ing almost over-night your gi
gantic industrial empire into 3
tank, anti-airciaft or airplane fac
tory or all three,
Your soft voice speaks with
Quicker authority, brings speedier:
action than any other man, in the
land; any other man, including the
president, who, at best, merely
proposes action.
Your plant is Henry Ford. Your
stockholders are Henry Ford. You
can close it, leave it open, divert
it to war-material or give it away.
THE NATION TODAY needs a
Horatius to seize the bridge.
Everybody is willing to help;

when our entire resources would

But. as we wait for signs of fur

You failed to stop the war be

You can. if you so desire, speak

That is the language of steel
