In Britain for generations?
And Is there in one Of our
newest gigantic industries, the
automobile industry, something
which begets in its successful
leaders q breadth of civic and
patriotic spirit not bred by the
old industries?
Just think; the best known
giant Of them all, Henry Ford,
recently ran for q seat in the
Senate, and according to all re-
ports, is. actively laying plans
to win q nomination for the
Presidency in 1924.
James NJ. Couzens, Ford's
principal partner during many
years. took up civic office on
retiring from money-maieing,
and has stepped from the may
or's chair in Detroit to the Sem
ate of the United States.
Another important, though
less known, leader in the auto
mobile world, Charles s. Mott,
eommander-in-chief Of General
Motors enormous forces in
Michigan, after serving three
terms as mayor of Flint, con-
