when Henry Ford" said counsel,
"said that we should stop talking a.
bout one factory, one state and one
country and begin to talk about the
world. was he preaching the doctrine
of anarchy.
mo that is the general thought OF
cosmopolitanism human inclusive

there was such a philosophy"
"Ts there anything peculiarly anar.

"Mr. Ford also said that he believed
humanity could make mistakes but
could do nothing worse; he said he
believed everything tended toward
the good. and that even the terrible
world war would result In blessing to
the world. Is there anything anarchistic
about those ideas?"
"They were commonplace before an
anarchist was ever heard Of. The
idea that man is naturally good is
the basis of Plato's morals. 1t has
permeated moral philosophy ever
since"
Prof. Dunning was then asked 10

views sponsored by Henry Ford and
Indicate the portions which would
convince a critical examiner that Nj.
Ford was not an anarchist.
The witness promptly pointed out
numerous references to the govern
ment and to the use of the ballot
which showed, he said, that Mr.. Ford
believed IN the orderly processes OF
government and therefore could not
be an anarchist. In no writing or
interview, he said, could he find q

an anarchist, either in the common
or philosophical conception of that
