NO WELCOME IN
ENGLAND FOR THE

London, Dec. 4.--Henry Ford and

be no peace except upon the condi-

famous 1914 Guildhall speech--un-
I'll German militarism Is banished
forever from the earth.
Some OF the papers ridiculed the
voyage. t
Moreover, there are no signs that
either officials. the press or the public
are wavering In their determination
to fight the war to the end. A few
newspapers did occasionally suggest
peace, but they are In q minority
and without influence on public SEN
timent. N04

Germans, but we must conquer them

which represented the general trend
OF opinion. peace must be real

The federal contention in the Won

He came here three months after
