Oyster Bay. n. Y, May 2O-CoIonel
Roosevelt is back from his Detroit trip
and he is happy over the blow he struck
there at pacificism in general, and Henry
Ford is particular. He believes that It
has given a new impetus to the move
ment for preparedness in the Middle West
and has also eliminated Mr.. Ford as a
Presidential possibility.
The Colonel feels that no political de-
yelopments of Importance will revoIve
about Mr.. Ford. and the CoIonePs friends
think that the success Of his invasion of

there lent great strength to the Roose-
Welt boom.

CBy the sun News SeryIceD

Detroit, Mich, May 2O.-Henry Ford has
gone fishing. But before departing he ad-
mitted he had. some ideas about Detroit's
recent visitor-Theodore Roosevelt-and
was quite willing to express them, or
some OF them, at least.
The pacifst really did want the Col
oneI to see his big workshop. and waited
for him in his office until after O'Clock
Friday afternoon. but said the world
did not contain enough influence to get
him to motor into town and call on the
former President
Between an ordinary person and an ex-
President there is but little difference. '-
said Mr.. Ford. Seven years have come
and gone since Roosevelt was in tn.
White House, and I'm those years he has
entirely failed to understand the trend
Of events and the sentiments OF the
American people. Roosevelt, TO my way
of thinking, is 50 antiquated that the
'ex' business means absolutely nothing.
He is an ordinary citizen because he
fails to keep pace with the times.
What Mr Roosevelt thinks about me
and my work worries me not a bit but
in fact it gives my opagands a boost.
In fact. I feel like thanking him for
bringing TO the attention OF the public
his views and thereby arraigning the Peo-
pie against his armament crowd.
The people are important Henry Ford
Is not. And at the proper time the peo-
pie will attend to Roosevelt. I'll tell you
what the trouble was with Fridays dem
cnstration; the munitions and armament
crowd was too prominent in it. I know
the crowd. and I know that it is not all
patriotism.
Il am convinced that President Wilson
is next to this armament crowd, and I
believe he knows more than he is giving
out for publication. Personally think he
has 'em by the throat"
