HENRY FORD ON PREPARED
NESS.

AT the Durango Exchange last even
ing, one of the members handed us a
copy of the New York Times with
the following interview with Henry
Ford, the millionaire automobile man
ufacturer which brought up the dis
cussion with others present and one
of the leading Democrats of the town
and county was us loud in denounc-
ing the administration military tao
ties as the Herald ever thought of
being. Not one upheld the proposed
plan. We give Mr.. Fords view in
full:
Special to the New York Times.
DENVER, Nov. 12.-Henry Ford,
the auto manufacturer, visitor in
this city in discussing the prepared
ness program, today, said.
preparedness is war. That is
why have never accepted the ap-
pointment as member of the COM
mittee of inventors and scientists to
assist the government in devising
means of defense. The preparedness
program is really a plan to keep the
factories busy after this war
ends. In reality war is device of
the big financiers. the biggest cow

WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT IT.

.'In what way" asks the Houston
Post, lean the Republicans attack
the Democratic tariff What do they
know about its virtues and defects !"
This is no troublesome conundrum.
1t is ridiculously easy. Republicans
can attack the Democratic tariff by
telling the truth about it. And as for
what they know about its defects, it
would take an entire issue of this pa
per to summarize it.
/ For instance, we know that the first
eight months that the Democratic
tariff was in operation our imports
increased 100000 and our GUS
toms revenues decreased $36,000,00
We know that our imports of raw
materials for manufacturing increas-
ed $34 100000, and that even with
the war our imports in these lines
are $33,0O0,O00 more than they were
under Republican tariff.
We know that our importations of
foodstuffs jumped up $SS,000,000, that
practically all of it came in free OF
duty, and that-even during the war
the increase was maintained.
We know that in the first eight
months of the Democratic tariff, our
exports fell off $204, 100000 and that
our farmers had to see shrinkage
in their foreign sales of $57,000,000.
We Republicans know lot about
the defects of the Democratic tariff
and before the next session of cong
ress is over and before the next cam
paign is over, the Houston Post will be
given the benefit of our knowledge.

The Economic World of New
York has rendered its readers a very
useful service by enlarging its table
of statistics showing weekly bank
ciear'ngs. Heretofore that haper has
given statistics for one week in 1915
with comparative figures for 1914.
Naturally the showing was a very
gratifying one. Now in the effort to
give its readers all available in
formation upon which to base their
opinions, figures are also given for
1912 and 1913. The disclosures will
not be at all pleasing to those Demo-
cratic statesmen who have been
boasting of prosperity restored. Fig
ures from seven cities, show that in
every instance the bank clearings were
larger in 1915 than in 1914. In only
two cities. however, were the clear
lngs larger in 1915 than in 1913.
These two were New York and Phil
adelphia,, both located in the region
made prosperous by war orders. In
spite of the great boom of war or
ders, not one of the seven cities re-
ports as large an amount of transac-
tons in 1915 as in 1912, the last year
Of Republicn administration. The
European war will become far more
strenuous than it has yet developed,
before 1t will restore the degree Of
prosperity enjoyed BY this country In
1919,

Now that the busy season is ovep
our farmers are beginning to con

Commenting on our large export
balance for September, due to war or
ders, the New York journal of Com
merce observes that principal way
of paying it off is through the sale
Of American securities now held
abroad. The Journal then calls at
tention to the fact that there is no
record of that or means of estimat-
ing it with accuracy. That it has
fallen far short of the means of pay
ment for our exports is proved by
the exchange situation and the neces-
sity of establishing foreign credits
to be drawn upon here, whiciN is
equivalent to borrowing money in the
United States. the money to be paid
back with interest when normal times
return. Sooner or later these pay
ments will be made in merchandise
form, which means that our imports
must greatly increase while our ex-
oorts will undoubtedly diminish. Then
will come q period very different
from that through which we are now
passing and some views of foreign
wars and domestiv prosperity will
have to undergo revision. Which
means that the Underwood free trade
measure will have to be supplanted
by Republican protective tariff law,
If we are to be commercially pre-
pared to meet the situation.

The Herald is agreeably surprised
at the vast number of people, regard
less Of party, who are with US against
the administration plan of making the
United States military nation. Ii
is the almost universal opinion that
the plan was sprung just prior to
the late election in the belief that
it would be upheld by the voters.
To the Herald the program means
additional arming on the part of Eu-
ropean nations after the war as re-
cent London dispatch stated that Eng
land would have to build more ships
TO hold her supremacy. Keeping up
with the daily horrors committed in
Europe in the name of war makes
us sick at heart to think of the U.
S. preparing for similar horrors. The
plan Of preparedness also means a
wonderful graft for those on the in
side and congressman will award mu-
milton factories and other plums to
faithful sections. On with the dance.
