Cars Expected-Eastern
Buying More Brisk.

The return OF good business condi-
tions with a possible disappearance OF
unemployment by summer and pre-
diction for a record year in Ford car
production we're features OF an Interview
given yesterday by Edsel B. Ford al
local headquarters Of the Ford Motor
Company. 1920 Broadway.
Mr.. Ford said that the previous high
mark of a little over 100000 Ford cars
and trucks a year would probably be
exceeded in the production for 1922 and
would reach 1.150.000. according to his
estimate. An early reduction in Ford
car prices was not contemplated, he
said.
The Ford interests are not inconven-
fenced by the coal strike. as the com.
pany operates its own mine in Kentucky
where 1t pays higher than the union
scale and where the miners have not
joined the walkout.
The export trade has noticeably i'm
proved. Mr.. Ford said, and, while the
company's business was done almost
exclusively with allied countries. future
needs would probably require construc
tion of plant In Russia. He said
there was every indication that the
company's foreign trade would soor
reach volume that would enable the
company to keep its plants open the
entire twelve months.

president of the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. announced yesterday
on his arrival here from Germany.
Mr.. Carlton said that engineers of the
Western Electric and the American Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company had
been working for years on the highly
technical problem of improving and
speeding UP cable communication. The
new cable and its equipment are due

win have a capacity of from 100000
20 $4,000 900 words year, as compared
with 100000 words a year in the old
cables.
Arrangements for the new cable have
practically been completed between the
Western Union. and the new German
Atlantic Cable Company. Mr.. Carlton
said that preliminary work between
New York and the Azores. a distance Of
2.400 miles, has already been started.
1t is estimated that this stretch of the
cable will be completed by the summer
of 1923. He said he did not know when
the 1000 miles of cable from the Azores
T., Emden would be ready.

ANARCHISTS TO GET
LIBERTY ON APPEAL
Ferguson and Ruthenberg Or
dered Released i'm Bail
From Sing Sing.

Isaac f. Ferguson. former Chicago
lawyer. and Charles T.. Ruthenberg.
once Socialist candidate for Governor Of
Ohio. both serving Ave to ten years for
anarchy, were ordered released on bail
yesterday by Judge cardozo OF the
Court OF Appeals pending decision on
an application for certificate OF rea-
sonable doubt.
Judge Cardozo's order is the result
of an unusual course taken last Satur-
day by Ferguson. He was permitted 10
leave Sing Sing and appear before the
Judge in his private chambers at 81
Chambers street to argue for their lib
erty pending outcome OF their appeals.
The two men were convicted Of Grim
inal anarchy in 1920 for the publication
OF alleged anarchistic writings in the
Revolutionary Aoe of July 5, 1919. or
gan OF the Communist party. The men
nect!on with the periodical.
Judge Cordozo's opinion said:
Il find there is reasonable doubt
whether the statute has been properly
construed. The appeal brings up the
question whether the prohibition of writ
ings advocating anarchy. that is. the de-
struction OF all government. is equiva-
lent to the prohibition of writings advo-
eating sedition or revolution. resulting
In change of government as, for ex-
ample. change from a republic to a
monarchy or from one form of republic
to another.
1T brings up also the question OF
whether the advocacy OF a general strike
as probable forerunner of such a
change is advocacy OF the change
through the adoption of unlawful
means"
On Saturday, according to John C.
Myers. Assistant District Attorney in
the Appeals Bureau, Judge Cardozo will
entertain similar application on be-
half of Benjamin Gitlow, another OF
those convicted at the same time.
1t is believed that similar action will
be taken by James Larkn, Irish agi-
tator. who also was convicted before
the late Justice Barlow S. Weeks OF the
Supreme Court. His release has been
urged strongly by group of his per-
sonal friends and Irish sympathizers
When Judge Cardozo considers Git
lows application next Saturday he will
hear argument on the amount OF bail
to be fixed for the release of Ferguson
and Ruthenberg.

tary Mellon wrote to him recently in
quiring about statement that Mr.. Ford
had returned war profits amounting to
$4,000, 900 to the Government Of the

when the book, which was written by
Sarah r. Bushnell, first appeared it
caused considerable comment in Wash
ington for it contained the direct state
ment that Mr.. Ford had refunded all his
war profits to the Government.
THE Treasury Department promptly
announced that there was no record OF
any such payment. and naturally there
was considerable interest in the matter.
Secretary Mellon finally wrote to MIR.
Ford for information as to how the al
legged s29,0O0,000 donation to the Gov
ernment stood from his point of view.

makes no claim that the refund was
