EDSEL FORD AND FATHER
TAKE COMPLETE CONTROL
OF MOTOR COMPANY

L.
of the largest fiancial transactions in
the industrial history of recent years
was announced Friday when Mr.. Ed
sci Ford the 25-year-old president
of the Ford Motor Company, con-
firmed the report that he had bought
out all but one of the minority stock
holders, and that the sole control OF
the company now rests virtually in
the hands of his father and himself.
The entire deal was handled, it is
stated, by the younger Mr.. Ford,
through the Old Colony Trust Co.,
of Boston. The details of acquiring
the stock was handled by Mr.. Stuart
W. Webb, of Bond & Goodwin, and
F. M. Holmes, Albert Boyden and
Roland Boyden. All minority stock
holders were dealt with independent
" and each received the same price
per share for stock.
The concentration Of the control
of the company in the hands of Hen
ry For dand his son was precipitated
by the court decision rendered when
the minority stockholders brought
suit to compel Mr.. Ford to abandon
his plan of investing $2o,o00,0o0 in
profits and forced him to distribute
this sum among the stockholders.
This decision, it was felt, stood as
a barrier in the path of the Ford
policies for enlarging their indus
tries and the perfection of their
plans for the extension of their in
dustrial and social benefits.
The Ford policy does not favor
large dividends to stockholders. 1t
favors, as is well known, profit
sharing system for it's worlmen and
the extension Of this benefit to the
public through the reduction of
prices.
eve know Of no better way to
prevent war than to extend indus
try" declared Mr.. Ford, in comment
ing on the change in ownership of
the company. "We plan to continue
building plants in all parts of the
world, to continue sharing our pro-
fits as we do today with our employees
and to reduce the price of our pro-
duct whenever increasing production
makes this possible"
With the consummation of this
transaction the announcement made
last winter by Henry Ford to the
effect that he would enter upon the
manufacture of car which would
sell for considerably less than the
present model, is superseded by plans
for the steady extension of the pres
ent concern.
All credit for the successful efforts
to centralize the contol of the COM
pany in the hands of Mr.. Ford and
his son is given to the young presi-
dent. He it was who persuaded his
father that this was a better method
of carrying out their established poll
cies than creating and organizing a
new corpration.
The sale stands as a striking exam
pie of the possibilities of American
business when that business is back
ed by vision and trust in the possibili
ties of this country. Sixteen years
ago the Ford Motor company was
virtually little more than a machine
shop with working capital of few
thousand dollars. Today it's assets
are said to total at least $3.50, O,0O0,-
900, and every dollar paid in by the
few men who had faith in Henry
Ford and his invention has returned

WILSON TO TALK
WITH REPUBLICANS
Senators Invited to White House for
Personal Conversations With tho
Presdent-Agsressive Effort to
Diminish Senate Opposition
to Treaty-To Give
Arguments.

Washington, July 16.-In an ag-
gressive effort to diminish senate op-
position to the treaty with Germany,
President Wilson will begin at the
White House tomorrow series of
personal talks with Republican sena-
tors.
With his reiterated offer to con-
suit with the foreign relations COM
mittee unaccepted and with his OPP
ponents on the Republicans evidenc-
ing no purpose to seek his counsel,
the president decided today to adopt
the more direct method of inviting
Republican members to the White
House and laying before them his
reasons for asking that the treaty be
ratified. ..... ..a
A half dozen senators whose names
were withheld were asked to meet
there tomorrow and it was indicated
that the invitations would be daily
feature until Mr.. Wilson had seen
most Of the Republican membership
Of the treaty ratifying body. g.
During the day he selected Is
whom he desires to see this week.
The presidents letter Of invita-
tion, sent out by mail late in the day,
had not been delivered tonight and
there was much speculation as to
the choice he had made for tomor-
rows conference In some quarters
it was thought likely he had invited
Chairman Lodge and other members
Of the foreign relations committee,
but it also was suggested that he may
have chosen to talk first with sena-
tors who are inclined to be friendly
to the treaty and have taken no def
mite stand regarding it.
Pending the receipt of the invita-
tion senators reserved their opin-
ions as to the move, although Repub-
lican leaders opposing the treaty in
it's present form did not hesitate TO
predict that the White Hhouse talks
would fail to lessen the opposition 10
tion to consider the Shantung provi-
ic senators supporting the president,
however, declared his course undotlbt-
edly meant that he has convincing
arguments to offer. q,
Those in the Presidents confidence
indicated that the burden of his ap-
peal to the Republican senators would
concern the league of nations and
the Shantung settlement, the TWO
provisions which have aroused great
est criticism in the senate. t. was
predicted that he would tell his call
ers the details of the negotiations on
these points and on any others that
might be brought into question.
That it might be in better situa-
tion to sonsider the Shantung provi-
sions, tie foreign relations committee
agreed today to ask the state depart
ment for copies of all available treat
les bearing on japanese and German
interests in China. In it's prelimin-
ary reading of the Versailles treaty,
however, the committee passed over
entirely that part of the treaty af-
fecting any other former possessions
of Gemany, reseving the whole sub
ject for further discussion.
