HENRY FORD IN
FAVOR OF WAR
IF PACT FAILS
Changes Views Since He
BIoSSomed Out as PaCifiSt
PrOpagantiSt.
WOULD PREPARE TO The HILT

By Associated Press:
MOUNT CLEMENS. Mich, July
IA great change has come over
Henry Ford's view OF international
relations since he Dlossomed out as
a pacihst propagandist in 1915. for
now. according TO his testimony in
his S1.OOO,OOO libel suit against the
Chicago Daily Tribune, he favors
another great war without delay Il
the present plan for d League of
Nations fails.
The Henry Ford who, in 1916.
was opposing the sending of the ma
tional guard to the Mexican border
and urging the United States 10 take
the lead in disarmament. asserted
today that he is now for prepared
ness TO the hilt if il appears that
this new war is necessary. He took
the position, as witness, that now
is the time TO establish universal
peace, and that if the war whicn
was ended i'm the field last NoVem-
Der does not result in a league
which Will assure that peace, there
can be no better time than the pres
ent TO renew the strife.
Had Press Agent.
According to Mr.. Ford. most of
the pacifist propaganda distributed
broadcast in his name was written
by Theodore Delavigne. a publicity
agent employed by him TO educate
the public, as he put it. to the waste
and horror Of war, and 10 its need
lessness. More often than not. Mr..
Ford said, these arguments were
sent out without his having read
them At all. He repeatedly stated,
however. that ne assumed full re-
sponsibility for the propaganda, and
in his answers TO questions pro-
pounded by Atty. Elliott @. Stevens.
representing the Tribune, he re-
affirmed all of the essential senti-
ments put in print by Mr.. Delavigne.
lie interposed one important
qualification regarding the use of
the word preparedness" What he
meant, ne said. was ver-prepared-
ness" In 1915 he SAID ne consid-
cred that the United states was suf
fciently prepared for defense, and
hence he opposed additions TO the
army and navy.
Urged Disarmament.
Mr.. stevens pointed out that in
not one OF the propaganda articles
was the term over-preparedness
employed, but that instead Mr.. Ford
urged that the United States should
take leadership IN complete dis
armament in the belief that the rest
of the world would follow this ex-
ample.
II still think it a good plan" said
the witness.
Ford reiterated that TO him his
tory was SO much bunk" and made
an admission that on many subjects
he was ignorant althoush he did
not consider himself an ignorant
idealist," as charged by the Tribune
in the alleged Hbelous editorial of
June 2S, 1916, headed Ford Is An
Anarchist"
