FORD COULD TURN WARSHIPS
INTO TRACTORS, HEDECLARES

Of United States currency based on
the value now in the Muscle Shoals
project?
use that money to pay for the
labor and material that will go into
the project, which when completed
will be worth thousands of millions
to the people of this country. I am
told that it would require two bar
rels of gold to make $4O,000,000.
Isn't the Muscle Shoals project a
better and more solid security than
the raw gold? Gold after all means
nothing but symbol of value.
eff the government determines to
issue $40,0O0,O00 in bonds to cover
the cost of the completion of Muscle
Shoals, am going to try to obtain
the entire issue. I don't want any
one in the money merchandising
business-the money speculators-to
get into the project in any way if
can help it. It's too big and its
possibilities for good are too great.
money isn't the sacred COW that
it was ten years ago. The people of
the world have discovered that mon
ey doesn't mean anything much un-
less real value is behind it and the
only real value that counts is labor
value"

Big Hog Shipment
Received in Moultrie

MOULTRIE, Gan Nov. 17.-Five
carloads of hogs from Alabama
points were unloaded at the stock
yards here a day or so ago. 1t was
the biggest single shipment received
in Moultrie this season. The hogs
were bought by Swift & Co. De-
spite the fact that the price still is
around six cents for number ones, re-
ceipts at the stockyards here have
shown a. big increase this week. 1t
is believed that in a few days hogs
will be coming at the rate Of two to
three thousand head a day. The
Alabama crop is said to be particu-
larlY large this year.

Farley NOT To END
|PLANE DEVELOPMENT

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Decision Of the
American delegation to the confer
ence on limitation of ornaments to
exclude aircraft from proposals for
reduction and future limitation of
naval forces goes deeper for its rea-
sons than Secretary Hughes indi
Gated in his statement, saying mere.
ly that the ready convertiHlity Of
commercial aircraft to war purposes
made the writing of aircraft limita-
ton impracticable. Beyond that OBJ
vious fact, however, lies the desire
Of every nation that no impeachment
should be placed in the way of de-
velopment of air navigation for the
benefit of all mankind.
Giant strides in the air were made
by all powers under war impetus.
Both in gas-carried craft and in ma
chimes that rely on the lifting power
of tilted planes, things were done
undreamed of a few months before
they were accomplished facts. All
the economic barriers that hem in
peace time developments were swept
aside by the urgent needs of war.
Dollars and cents, did not matter.
But back again to days of peace,
aircraft development is moving at
snail's pace over all the world. The
place of air navigation in the COM
mercial scheme of things is not es-
tablished yet on any profitable basis,
and if governments do not carry on
the experimental work in connec-
ito with armies and navies, the new
est and most promising field OF
transportation probably would lie
neglected for years to come.
This is the view taken by army
and navy officials of the United
States and it is reflected in the Amer
lean proposal to the conference. 1t
is to be expected, as the confer
ence moves along, that rules to linn
it the use Of aircraft, to curb boRlb-
ing of defenseless cities and civilian
non-combatants, hospitals and the
like in war will be written. There
is definite place for that on the
agenda, but no government could
look with favor on any project that
would tend to discourage inventors
and public and private enterprise
from plumbing the possibilities OF
air routes with a view to finding
cheap, fast methods of communica-
ton and transportation.
AS to convertibility, it is appar-
ent offhand, officers say, that any
plane capable of carrying the mail
or any other burden could be loaded
with bombs for war purposes, equip
ped with machine guns and other
wise be put into fighting shape in a
matter of hours. Without any
change, however, a commercial
plane would become Immediately
available in war for the prime pur-
pose as yet of military and naval
aircraft, scouting to locate enemy
positions on land or sea.
Navy officials are far from salts
fed that aircraft have reached a
point where the old-time surface
craft of the battle line have lost
their Importance as the main reli-
ance in war at sea; but they admit
that air developments have added
new factors to the game of war and
that in the future may lie such rad
ical advances in air work as may
in fact wholly revolutioniZe naval
warfare. American observers eX-
pect no serious proposal during the
conference for any form Of aircraft
limitation that would inhibit such
DEVELOPMENT.

You know what calomel is. It's

go to your druggist and get a bottle
of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few

substitute for dangerous calomel.
Take a spoonful and if it doesn't
start your liver and straighten you
up better and quicker than nasty

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 17.-"Any
government that resists disarma-
ment will be overthrow by it's peo-
ple," said Henry Ford, today, when
asked for his opinion on the work
of the conference in Washington.
"All armament must CO." he said,
ION land as we'll as on sea. If the
governments don't eliminate it. the
people will.
"The proposal of the United
States government is fine mimi
mum step, but it is only a minimum
step and marks merelye the be-
ginning of real disarmament.
"There is plenty of real construc-
tive work for the thousands and
evn millions of men now engaged
in the useless labor of maintaining
the monstrous navies and armies
of the world. There is no reason
why everybody that is willing to
work shouldn't have work and have
a home to live in. \
"There is any amount Of work in
the world, but it must be released
SO the workers can get it. It's
frozen now in the same way that
bankers spoke of frozen credit some
time ago.
To Interest Himself.
eff politicians can't find a way
of releasing the work of the world
to the workers, I am going to in
terest myself enough in politics to
attempt to find it for them.
"To begin with, all the naval and
army war material could be quickly
turned into useful machinery. This
would employ the men involved for
a considerable period.
"I could junk the battleships of
the world and turn them into trac-
tors"
Mr.. Ford leaves for Washington
tonight with the expectation of re-
ceiving final word from SECRETARY of
War Weeks Friday on his proposal
to take over the Muscle Shoals prof.
est.
eff the United States government
and other governments in the world
would cease this terrific waste on
war materials and turn only a frac-
ton of it into. internal improve
ments no willing worker in the
world would be forced to go Idle,
Mr.. Ford continual.
'FThe great danger that the gov
ernments of the world are facing
is the crushing weight of interest
charges. Interest on the war debt
of the world is sucking the vitality
Of the nations. 1t must be stopped.
And it is creating a class OF idle
men who want to work, but there
is no work for them to do. At the
same time it is creating a parasitic
leisure class, a horde of non-produc-
ers who are living on this interest
creating a new interest aristocracy'
that if allowed to continue will
threaten the democracy of this
country.
Gold Loses Potency
"Gold has lost it's potency as far
as it is any factor in the prosperity
Of nation. I have about come to
the conclusion that gold is not the
proper basis for currency. The
basis for currency should be labor.
Here is a suggestion that I am
going to make to the government at
Washington:
eff they accept my plan for the
Muscle Shoals project they will have
to spend $40,0O0,000 to complete. the
project. If they issue 4 per cent,
thirty-year bonds, to do this before
the period of my lease expires and
those bonds and the subsequent re-
funding bonds are paid out, the peo-
pie of the United States will have
paid almost $138, 100000 in interest
on those bonds alone.
"Now, why not issue $40,000,000

Colonel Sample Tells
OF Soldiers Execution

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. Nov. IL
Colonel w. r. Sample, of the Eighty
first division, United States army,

negro soldiers were executed in
France as a result of his orders,
after they had been tried and con-
victed by court-martial.
He also issued orders for the con-
struction of the scaffold, he said,
on which the men were executed.
