 As long as Ford believes and breaches peace and non resistance he will be respected by a whether they with him but when he tries force his belief who are working for him. using his power employer lever he should be suppressed.
 The principle is wrong in event. However, if Ford at mpts place himself above the government of the United States and says in his employ shall not take steps such believes the best interests of his home and country then Ford is guilty of moral treason.

 Whether legal O not, the storm of public dsapmova which would descend upon the manufacturer of automobiles would leave doubt in his egotsca mind to where the people of this country stand.
 It is evident that Ford like many of the newly rich whose antic long made American the laughing stock of tine word has greatly oveestmacd ideas to the power of his wealth.
