The President of Carnegie
Institute in Pittsburgh
to Mr.. Henry Ford
His Statement Will Perhaps Surprise
It's Interesting.


useful citizens Of those that surround him the constant
cry is, "O King! live forever" They seek to convince
him that the whole world admres his childish attacks
people too busy to pay much attention to him.
Here's from Pittsburgh who does not join the "Oh
live forever chorus On the contrary unlike those whom
Mr. Ford attacks Mr. Samuel Harden Church. president Of
the Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh and author of life Of
Cromwell takes rather seriously Mr. Fords little game Of
twentieth century Jew-baiting.
In speech before the Association of Credit Men Fri
day, October %, last Mr.. Church began follows:
When Oliver Cromwell returned to London after his
last great battle at Worcester, where he had finally
crushed the power of the British kings to dictate the
political opinions and the religious faith of the people,
John Milton salued him with that celebrated sonnet
which begins with Cromwell, chief of men," and
him that "new foes arise" and then calls him
to further public service with the inspiration of that
famous lne Peace hath her victories less renown'd
than war" After great apt to think
that all strife ended and yet all around that
foes arise and that in order overcome them we
must be moved by the persistent purpose and the
indomitabe courage that sustained us when the
shells bursting in the actual conflict

Mr. Ford and Mr. Church. head of the Carnegie Institute
are two able business men, and will leave them to fight
it out between them.
If given to betting, should bet Mr.. Church The
man that is night usually wins.
Mr. Ford is unquestonaby digging pit for himself.
But if anybody tried to tell him about it, he would say
''No that isn't pit; it's a bed of roses"
It is rather appropriate that Mr.. Church. who wrote
history of Cromwell, should do little plain speaking to
Henry Ford. Mr. Church knows how much Cromwell did
for England. NOT by attacking Jews, lying about them
or seeking to ostracize them, but by allowing them to
come back to England where their business ability helped
to lay the foundation of world wide British commercial
prosperity that has grown steadily ever since.
If it were for Mr. Fords intellectual condemnation OF
history as bunk we should advise him to compare what
