one for himself 1t is to be weekly.
It may be a go, but he has launched
into a business that will separate him
from his millions about as fast as

to launch into the publishing business
these days is not a move showing the
good business judgment Henry Ford
is accredited with possessing. How
ever, ne has, apparently more money
than he knows what to do with and he
can now place it in channel that

American labor loyalty wasn't tenn
porary loyalty
American labor is as loyal today
as it was before the armistice was
signed.
American labor will be as loyal the
day after the treaty is signed as it
was the day war was declared.
There is no question about that
American labor loyalty is no myth,
no will o. the wisp, no fleeting thing
of a moment. 1t is constant, perma-
nent, absolute.
American labor is loyal to America
to the America that has fought the
war and won the war-to the great
America of heart and soul and ideals.
American labor is going on now, in
peace and democracy, to help build
America in the ways of peace and
democracy.
m B ~ r. Ea
American labor is the great eXpon-
ent of democracy; it lives through
democracy; its future is all enveloped
in the democratic world of the future
American democracy is the fairest,
finest gateway to the political and
industrial future that mankind has
ever set up. 1t lays down before men
the path of reason, through which all
things that are good and just may be
secured.
American labor put its best and its
all into the winning of the war for
freedom. 1t is going on now to put
its best into reconstruction of our land
of freedom, so that freedom may mean
most to all people
The same loyalty and devotion that
built the ships and made the muni-
tions will be lavished on the America
of the future-the great free America
the human America of heart and soul
the free America of great ideals and

There is not the slightest cause for
any feeling of alarm or uneasiness
lest the change from war to a peace

be directed to other employments as
