Ford Factory
Makes Record
1858 Cars Day

During October 99,967 Ford cars
were made in the Ford factory at De-
troit and shipped out to join the
100000 already in service. This is
the highest record ever reached by
the Ford company. or any other COM
pany. Thirty-three more cars would
have prought production up to the
100000 mark for the month.
October 26 was the banner day, hav-
ing brought forth 4,6SS cars. This was
also record-breaker. 1t means that
one car was Completed every 1S14
seconds for the entire 24-hour day.
The Ford estimate this year is 2.250,-
900 cars and trucks.
1t was during the fall of 1909 that
Henry Ford placed on the market his
now famous Mode "T'-the car that
brought Ford unquestioned suprem-
acy in the motor car industry. To
date, more than 100000 of this one
model have been built and distributed
10 the four corners of the world OF
models prior to the IT 10000 were
manufactured
During 1910, 1854 Ford cars were
built a tremendous output for those
days. Yet in 10 years from that time
Ford production mas grown to more
than 1.00O,00O year
Almost half the motor cars in the
world are Ford cars. In the United
States and Canada, little better than
one-half are Fords

when close personal contact is estab-

Assimilation is the final test Of
any sound immigration system. If
they resist absorption aliens remain
mere economic pawns, strangers in
strange land, more liability than
an asset, But the imperfect results
of our present system have been due
largely to our own Indifference. We
haven't been interested enough in
sitting out the more desirable from
the less desirable or in impressing on
the alien worker the economic and
social value of citizenship. The
standards Of citizenship must be
maintained. But, even at that, we

unions would turn away from their
limitations upon production-their
regulations that waste time and re-
ward incompetence-the open shop
issue would lose a large part of its
Importance.
The employers obligation is to
facilitate the development Of this
idea among his men. A large num-
Der of conspicuously successful eff
forts have already been made. The
faster the idea spreads, the better.
Labor cannot be expected to abandon
it's old practices unless it's reward
is clearly in sight. Capital can well
afford to increase labor's share as
labors output increases.
Until this question Of production
is solved and the individual laborer
freed and encouraged to do his best,
the closed shop must remain brake
upon national progress and direct
source of loss to every one, laborer
and capitalist alike.

Pure Sel6shness

To the Editor of the Tribune
Sir: Referring to your editorial in
yesterdays issue under the caption ~
Long Way to Ararat,' venture to sng-
gest that you, in common with many
others, are 8 long way from a proper
understanding Of the moral duty under
lying the question OF mandate over
Armenia
It is the same ignorance of the same
duty which is at the bottom of ali
industrial unrest. Il is the constant
insistence upon rights and the iguor-
ing of corresponding obligations Pure
sel6shness. Among individuals the
rich owe duty to the poor.
The same moral rule applies to ma
tions. This, the richest and most pow
erful nation in the world, owes a duty
to its poorer neighbors to help them
in their extremity. In Europe those
who are willing ars war burdencd and
weary. They have borne the whole
heat and burden or the day and are
now impoverished. The United States
alone is prosperous. Coming in late
she has suffered little from the war.
In fact, she has grown rich out Of it,
and vet shrinks from The extra cost Of
this charitable work and trcmbles at
the thought Of possible future com
pHcations
OF the others, Great Britain only
could possibly undertake this mandate.
But she has already accepted more
than her share Of these Or arous obli-
cations. More than any otuer coun-
try Great Britain has borne the white
mans burden. In proportion to her
power, the United States the least.
She has taken up a few little islands,
losing nothing thereby, and says
That's enough for US. As for any
more, let the other fellow do it." But
the other fellow, more willing, already
is overloaded
This seldshness, this hypocrisy in
the face OF so much Dragging about
showing others the right of way to i've,
is sickening. The President has shown
the proper and honorable course. Let
the people follow IT,

Obregon's $ Problem

Alvaro Obregon, new leader of
Mexico, faces a great task of re-
Mobilization. He must pacify the
country, eliminate selhshness and
graft in the government, restore for
eign confidence, revive interest pay
ments on colossal national debt and
strive generally toward the position
Mexico once held in the eyes Of the
world under Portirio Diaz.
But Obregon's greater problem,
perhaps, is to pay the verbal prom,
lssory notes he has issued to the
Mexican people. He must establish
school system to educate and up
lift the peon; he must seek to teach
the peon "to use toothbrush rather
than to handle rifle" He must
encourage and protect foreign CAPT
tai and enterprise in order that the
peon may find employment, He
must build up and maintain sound
national finance system and wipe out
military despotism, national and
otherwise.
His predecessors lever did this.
They promised, too, but they never
made good. The new Mexican
leader has before him the records of
shattered governments Of four other
Mexican leaders who during the last
decade have failed to do anything
for the peon. First there was Diaz,
who died in exile; next Francisco
Madero, assassinated in the streets
Of the capital; then Nictoriano
Huerta, who also died in exile, and,
last, Venustiano Carranza, assassi-
mated in flight in the mountains of
Pueba.
One Of Obregon's latest uttorances
expressed the hope that mutual con-
fidence will some day be so far re
stored between Mexico and the
United States that soldiers may he
withdrawn from the international
border. Obregon has made enough
promises and emitted enough hopes
to be allowed to demonstrate whether
or not he is sincere. There is moth
ing as yet to indicate that he is not.
He knows the United States and pro
fesses a wholesome respect for US
and our Monroe Doctrine, a doctrine
which dictates peace and stable gov
ernment in the Western Hemisphere.

The Man for the Job
But Will the Politicians Let the Pco-
ble Have Him.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: A few days ago I was talking
with a man, who has voted the Republi-
can ticket for a good many years, about
the outlook as to what the convention
at Chicago would do He was very posi-
tive in mis- belief that General Wood is
the man for the job, but added, almost
@adly, Il fear the politicians in the
party will not nominate him. As Il,
in his thought, the Republican party
had already lost the fight.
Since then the same feeling has come
to me. AS l talk with men and women
who vote next November l begin to
realize that never before did a political
party have just such problem to face
| believe that the party has stiff
fight ahead Of it, and that the fight
must be made, and the victory won
as hope it will be-not at the polls
in November, but at the convention
next month.
viii the men who have the fate of
tho party in their keeping be big
enough to sink personal ambitions and
forget the old idea Of rewardine the
faithful, think above all of the party
and the people theg are pledged to
sorve; or viii they, once again, as they
allowed their personal feelings against
man to override their judgment, let
personal likes and petty politics blind
them to their pressing needs and de-
mands of the new electorate?
This fall there goes to the polls a
large body of new and newly awakened
voters, whose number has been vari-
ously estimated at from seven to
twenty millions. I have thought that
even the latter figure might easily be
conservative. The woman vote, the ox-
service mans vote, and an unknown
number that viii be more or less in
tluenced by them and by changed world
conditions to demand newer. cleaner
and sancr things in politics than those
to which we have been accustomed
hitherto
NcCOHSIi IcLiOH, reorganization ana
rehabiitation-theso are the big jobs
awaiting the next President Of this
country. VIII the delegates to the Chi
cago convention look honestly for a
man who is undoubtedly qualified to
tackle these Jobs, and whom this new
electorate Will trust, and the older
voters loyalty support; or will they
play the old familiar games, so attrac-
tive to the politician and so disgusting
to the thoughtful-pe personal preference,
favorite sons, loyal partisans, dark
horses and whatnot, and, possibly allow
another party, wiser in it's day and
generation, to triumph once AGAIN and,
perhaps, finally? A. J.

The Alien Open Door

In the regulation Of immigration
an economic motive and a political
motive come into conflict. The re-
port Of the b-committee of the Re
publican Advisory Committee on
Policies and Platform recognizes this
clash. The United States needs
more man power to-day to restore
the disordered balance between pro
duction and consumption. But q lift
ing Of the bars threatens an alien
admiXture which Will delay still fur
ther the necessary political process
Of Americanization.
The war made US keenly aware Of
the presence Of strong disunifying
clements. Since hostilities ended we
have been greatly disturbed to fnd
alien groups here so little susceptible
to American influences as to want to
upset our government by force and
introduce the terrorism Of Lenine
and Trotzky. Such aliens are un-
supportable. Their economic value,
which is small enough (for they are
generally parasites on the working
alien population), is as nothing com
pared with their political undesira-
bility The United States cannot af-
ford to yield hairs breadth on the
principle that the stay here of such
trouble-makers must depend entirely
on their good behavior
Most aliens come to this country,
however, to better themselves eco
ironically, and not to play the part
Of revolutionary propagandists. Our
.ystem Of control is not sufficiently
developed. so far as they are con-
cerned. They are not distributed in
teligently. Many Of them herd in
the cities when their labor could be
more benefcially employed on the
farms. Assimilation is always easier
New-York tribune., 1920-05-31
Closed Production

In the debate upon the open shop
it is important that both employers
and employees should try to see
through the immediate issue--as to
which the whole country is at last
Enthusiastically aroused-to the under
lying economic problem.
That problem, like every other
labor problem Of the day, is pri-
marily production. The closed shop
is not the disease; it is only
symptom. The disease, one Of the
most dangerous by which a modern
people can become infected, is
limited production-the effort of
labor to see, not how much, but how
little, man can do and get his wage.
This practice is conspicuous in the
transportation strike in New York
City to-day. One of the principal
efforts Of the unions has been to re-
strict the amount of work one man
may do. Reducing the working day
need not, up to certain point, re-
duce output, as any number OF fac
torres nave demonstrated. Where
there is the incentive to produce and
the will to produce, the shorter day
is both morally and economically
sound. But these unions use other
methods TO make TWO jobs out OF one,

Mr.. Bryan Has Another Thought

Dear Mr.. Bryan wants the double
standard of morality abolished by
constitutional amendment and pre-
diets speedy success for his propo-
sal. Every one will agree with his
moral argument, and, since the thing
is so simple, why did nobody think
Of doing it before? Why have we
struggled all these years through re-
ligion and family training to purify
mankind when plain constitutional
amendment would have turned the
trick at any moment?
We hope that Mr. Bryan will de-
velop his ingenious idea to its logi-
cal conclusion. Why pause with this
relatively small item of reform? Let
the whole Ten Commandments be in
corporated in the Constitution, with
concurrent power in the states and
the nation to fix the minimum per
centage Of covetousness, theft, etc,
permissible, and punish all who eX
ceed this speed limit
And the Ten Commandments are,
after all, very general and incom-
plete. They We're we'll enough for
Sinai, but Lincoln, Neb., has new
wisdom and higher morality
Every element of conduct should be
regulated by these new standards.
Surely it is monstrous that man
need not attend a single Chautauqua
lecture in a lifetime if he is not
.aindcd to- Compulsory attendance
on Chautauqua should be one of the
earliest amendments after tobacco
has been abolished, the single stand

Successful Smith Publicity

Sir: We were very much Aattered by
the notice in your columns this morn
ing concerning Mrs. Margaret Dubald
who has just been sentenced to her
sixth term in prison for forging and
who says that she is graduate Of
Smith College. Perhaps if she really
were We should not be so battered, but
we learn on appealing to the Office of
the dean that she was never at anv
time student at Smith, much less a
graduate. Consequently we are de-
lighted. When we consider that she is
a person whose sole interest in life
seems to be money; that she can't even
remember her own name; that She
seems to be able to forget a variety
of things, and yet the one thing She
cannot get out of her mind is Smith
College, somehow it makes us feel that
we have almost accomplished our mis-
