could develop under mis- offer, is
greater by half than all that is now

his offer would assure. 1t is fair to
consider the public also, and to re-

LETTER FROM
CLIFFORD PINCHOT

Philadelphia, Sept. 8, 1921.
Editor, 1.-THE Gazette"
Alexandria, Va.
Dear Sir:
The recent offer of Mr.. Henry Ford
to tate over Government property at
Muscle Shoals on the Tennessee River
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1921-09-08

their equipment amounts to
positive genius. Napoleon
in warfare; Shakespeare IN
literary expression an d
It h Dug t; Beethoven in
music; Michael Angelo in
sculpture and painting
Newton in natural philoso-
ply; Edison in electrical i!
science; Kepler and Calico
in astronomy; these are first
in the intellectual armament
and none second. The laws
of genius are little under
stood. A man has certain
faculties which are gifts
from Nature and cannot be
attained by cultivation or
experience. They are essen
TALLY int1litive.
Ford is one Of these geniu-
ses in the business world.
For this reason we should
say, give him the Muscle
Shoals and tell him to go to
it and confer vast and unap-
proachable benefits on the
American people.
Some time the honors con-
ferred on genius will be such
that they will far outweigh
all the emoluments and
profits it can gain in private
pursuits. 1t will then belong
to the government-that is,
to the whole people. A sol
lier or a statesman would
scorn money consideration
in the performance of his
duties. Goethals engineered
the Panama Canal = the
vastest undertaking. known
to man. His esprit de corps,
his patriotism if you will, led
him to achieve success.
Gorgas died a poverty;
stricken martyr but saved
millions Of lives. The army
and the navy and the state
claim the genius enrolled in
their ranks as belonging tc
the service Of the people
The pay is an unconsidered
trifle in comparison with
that in private vocations.
Glory is the sole reward, and
sometimes not even that. We
doubt not the time will come
when the business genuises
of a country will consider
service to their fellows as a
sufficient reward for their
labors. But it has not yet
arrived. In the meantime
let us use it when we can,
even if we have to pay for It
in vulgar coin.
Let Ford have the Muscle
Shoals plant and perform
the same wonders with it as
lie has with his mills and
mines and factories and rail-
roads. This will mean a
boon to the country at large
in comparison with which
his profits will be the Cheap
est price the government can
pay.
We shall look forward to
the conference with Secre-
tary Weeks with much in
terest. We should not be
surprised to see the govern
ment take him at his offer.
We believe it is lf-inclined
in that direction already. As
the French say, "Nous YER
rons!''

FORD AND MUSCLE SHOALS

Henry Ford is to meet
Secretary Weeks in consul,
tation as to terms OF the
formers offer to the govern
ment for the nitrate plant at
Muscle Shoals. This will be
one of the most interesting
events occurring in the near
future. We know of no
more important news that
could be conveyed to the
country than a verbatim re-
port Of the conference. Ford
is a business genius such as
the world rarely sees. We
have had several Of his kind
in this country in the last
fifty years. James J. Hill in
transportation, John. D.
Rockefeller in oil, Andrew
Carnegie in, iron, the elder
Morgan in banking, and per
haps Wanamaker in mer-
chandising. Ford, in manu-
featuring is the equal OF any
of these, and perhaps tops
all except Rockefeller.
His proposition to the gov
eminent to lease the Muscle
Shoals plant is meeting with
bitter opposition from many
sources. One of the most
strenuous of his opponents
is Clifford Pinchot, who
writes a letter to the editor
of the Gazette which we
print elsewhere in today's
paper. There is apparently
a campaign being Waged
against Ford in the news
papers. Some. are urged in
sincerity and some seeming.
ly in malice. Pinchot is OF
course in earnest in his de-
sire to save the government
from a bad bargain. His
arguments are entirely one
sided, however, and are not
fair in their statements OF
Mr.. Ford's position. If he
can turn out fertilizer for
the millions of farmers at a
price much below what they
are paying and have PAID
for years, the direct benefit
to agriculture would be i'm
measurable, not merely in
the saving in dollars to them,
but in the increase Of an
nual crops that would result.
More fertilizer means more
produce; and if the former
were so: cheap that it's use
could be multiplied indefi-
nitely, the harvests that
would follow would mean
augmented prosperity to the
nation.
One thing is certain, the
government will only repeat
its CHASTITY and gigantic fail
ures of the past few years, if
it undertakes to pursue the
immense project to compile
ton. We believe in govern
ment operation in many
things; in government own
ership in a few; but the
transfer of public utilities
from private holdings is a
matter of evolution; and
that is always a slow pro.
cess.
The fact is that there are
individuals endowed so far
beyond their fellows in bust
