Henry Ford is back from Europe
The mild hammered little man thinks
that his peace trip will yet result in
some good. If he is instrumental in
stopping the war only one day sooner
than it would otherwise cease, he fig
ures that he will have saved 10000
lives, for that's the average toll of the
conflict today. Much has been said
about this pilgrimage. Editors have
accused Ford Of seeking additional
advertising and political prestige. We
don't believe that either is the case.
He has more money now than he can
ever spend. We doubt if his peace
party will ever accomplish anything,
but we are confident that Ford's in
tentions are the very best. Ford is
not what one can call an exceptionally
we'll educated man. When others were
going to college his mind was en-
ployed along mechanical lines. He is
not the best organizer in the world.
He started for Europe in the Oscar
II with no definite plan. The war is
certain to continue until the nations
involved consider that they have had
