DANIELS SAYS FORD
GOT SMALL PROFIT

Henry Ford made less proft in pro-
portion on Eagle boatsI than did
destroyer contractors, Secretary Dan
iels declared today. answerire~Sena
tor Lodges claim that the Michigan
automobile man had profted by the
war. after declaring he would take
none from II.
Daniels explained that at the start
of the war Ford offered the full ia
cilities OF his plant and himself for
war purposes. adding that he did not
care to make a cent for himself.
Daniels said the contract with Ford
was similar to that made with the de-
stroyer builders. but with smaller ad-
vances OF money and with less profit.
He added that the Ford plant was
the best and most available for the
purpose OF making Eagle boats. and
that had the war gone on 500 OF these
would have been produced. As It Is,
the contract has been cut from 112
to 60.
